Review: Got Italian first, now doing french. Actually bought as gifts for family. Fabulous course. I've tried Berlitz, beginner and intermediate, and at least 3 other french courses. This one I found to be the best available - with 2 cassettes under my belt i navigated paris and was THRILLED with the ability to communicate. A winner based on quality, price and efficiency - my personal feelings - the best on the market today.

Summary: Superb
Review: I've been using disc number one during my morning and evening car commute for a week and I already feel confident enough to navigate transportation, get directions, and make purchases. Although I'll be joining a group tour, my confidence has increased to the point that I'm planning to spend a day in Venice on my own before I meet with my group in Padova.

The vocabulary and phrases are just what a traveler needs and the listen and repeat method works very well for me. Occassionally I can't quite get the pronunciation by listening, but the course comes with a set of small booklets that lists all the vocabulary in the same order as it appears in the CDs. The booklet is small enough to slip in my bag so when I have a few idle moments during the day I can look up the phrase that was giving me trouble or just do a quick refresher.

Summary: Out of Date!!!!
Review: Italy has been using the Euro for over two years. These lessons spend much time teaching the student about Lira. It also spends time teaching you BIG NUMBERS. That is really useless when dealing in Euros!
Pull this product off your site until it joins the 21st century!

The Italian speaking woman is also very difficult to understand. She does not have a clear voice when it comes to the endings of words.

Summary: Italian by osmosis
Review: This course is good when used with a grammar book. You listen to sentences--first in English, then twice in Italian--that use whatever aspect of grammar (future tense, reflexive verbs etc.) the track is on, with a very practical vocabulary. It is THE best audio course in terms of teaching time for your dollar, and helps you to learn rules for forming your own sentences instead of just parroting those on the disc. Finish this and make it through a grammar text, and you can move on to reading and conversing at a basic functional level. I gave it a 4 only because you need a book along with it for best results.

Summary: "Learn In Your Car" was great!
Review: This instruction set was exactly what I needed to prepare for my trip to Italy, it was very effective in teaching me the language. It took about 1-2 weeks to master each of the 9 CD's, but after that you can confidently speak the language. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Great Way to Learn a Language
Review: This is a great way to learn Italian! After the first CD, I knew lots of useful phrases. I went to Italy after working with all of the CD's, and felt very confident. Each CD builds on the previous one, making learning very easy. I would highly recommend this course, especially for anyone who spends a lot of time in their car.

Summary: This was a horrible product
Review: This is the worst language lessons I have ever heard. They speak the language to quickly to understand the proper diction. The sentences used are too complex to have any meaning full comprehention. The lessons are disjointed and jump around so much that there is no possible way to retain what is learned from one phrase to the next.
