| I ordered this for an adult continuing education class that I am taking - Beginning Italian. This is truly a fun book - much better than the old French textbooks I had in high school. It is well illustrated, words are spelled phonetically, and it moves at an nice pace (not too elementary, but also not too challenging.) There are no audio tapes, but I have the advantage of a weekly class with an Italian instructor who is from Italy. The book comes with some flash cards and a small dictionary. The list price is $18.95, but Amazon sells it for less. |
Nice Intro to Italian

| This is a good book to use as a starting point. It covers some common phrases, grammar, and vocabulary. There is enough repetition of what you have learned in previous chapters to help you retain it. The 4-CD set is wonderful as a pronounciation help. The book is nicely organized into 29 well-planned lessons that take about an hour and a half each. Very nice way to begin learning this charming language. |
Excellent book for my level of knowledge.

| The book is excellent in teaching the pronounciation of Italian and the proper usage of word endings. I would also recomend the CD that comes with the book so you can hear the words that are covered in each lesson. |
Best Italian tutorial I've used

| I am studying this book right now in prep for a trip to Italy in June. The dialogues, highlighted phrases, and variety of activities are GREAT fun for the casual Italian speaker. If you follow the lessons in the order given, 15 minutes a day, you WILL be able to make yourself understood in Italian within a couple of months. |
very good resource, easy to use, highly recommend...

| We've used a different CD based system for French & this book/CD set "Learn Italian the Fast and Fun Way by Marcel Danesi & Barron's is FAR BETTER. It's simple to follow. I think the CD only systems are too difficult to follow & you need something in print that follows audio. This book is the coursework for a Italian class we're taking by a native of Italy & she said it's 99% correct. |
