Summary: Italian Complete Course:Basic-Intermediate, CD Edition
Review: It may or may not be useful for people who want to learn with book and CD, but I wanted something I could learn from driving my car or in the background at home when doing other things. All of the Italian is on the CD's, with no English. So I will probably not learn one word of Italian, and will order a course from the library. For people with time to do concentrated study I understand the economy and efficiency of having only the Italian on CD's, plus you see the spelling in the books. For me it was not the right course.

Summary: A good value for tourists
Review: Well, that`s a good enough course you can get for this small money. In fact, if you need to learn just some basic "tourist Italian" this course is quite fine - but not if you really want to speak it. The thing is, it seems hard to obtain any real conversational skills just by memorizing phrases. Also, the recording doesn`t always correspond to the book.
