Conversational Italian: Learn to Speak and UNderstand Italian with Pimsleur Language Programs September 27, 2007

Came with recommendation from friends and is excellent. Based on good applied linguistic principles. It's clear and easy to follow and encourages good pronunciation. A very good starting point

No doubt about it, you'll learn Italian from these 8 CD, unfortunately the vocabulary is so limited that it will not help you in Italy. You may learn how to say I drink, but not know how to ask for water, or a glass of water. You'll learn how to say I'd like to eat, but not know what bread is in Italian.

If you have an IQ of less than 75 and want to learn Italian, this lesson could be perfect for you. Another alternative title: Learn 10 italian Phrases in 8 Hours. If I want to repeat the phrases 500 times each I would normaly replay the lesson, but this book saves you the trouble of pressing the track replay button by simply repeating the same very simple phrases over and over and over and over and over and over. I am not exagerating. A complete waste of money. In the first hour you will learn the following phrases:
Hello, how are you miss?
I am fine.
I am american. I am italian.
I understand a little italian.
I don't understand Italian.
Do you understand English?
and maybe one or two more... first graders learn at a faster pace than this!

I took one year of Italian in both high school and college. In the anticipation of a trip to Italy, I picked this up and started listening and working on refamiliarization of this beautiful language. I ended up skipping the first two CD's because I knew the content. The last two disks were challenging and made me realize there is so much depth in the Italian language.

It is a little different, it has no visual, you learn by listening and repeating. After a few lessons you realize that you are getting it.
My wife would prefer more visual, but she is learning.
