Rating:  Summary: Instead of this book, how about.... Review: Seems to be va bene, perhaps if purchased alone, more as a refresher?? I've read other rewiews from other sites, and it seems that the CD lessons don't always match what the book is reading. I would suggest "The Everything Learning Italian Book" (speak, write, and understand basic Italian in no time) By Michael P. San Filippo, it's what I'm using currently, and I have learned a lot in, well, no time!! (as it promises!) I've even had trouble with things such as verbs, adverbs, ajectives and the such, in English!! And I speak English! lol but this book even took care of my probs with this language, and I'm excelling greatly in Italian so well, I've even impressed myself! (not to mention my fiance' who's Sicilian). So although it may be ok as a refresher, or a book to keep on hand (since it's smaller) for words you're stumped on, I'd still suggest the above, it's affordable wherever you purchase it, and extremely helpful as well.
Rating:  Summary: Great when used in conjuction with the audio devices Review: This is probably one of the most comprehensive Italian lesson books on the market. Used in conjunction with the aduio (either tapes or cds) it's wonderful. But alone, it leaves a little something to be desired. If you have at least a month to listen and learn then this is the book for you. Any less time, and you won't really be getting your money's worth.
