5.0 out of 5 stars Talk Italian, 14 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Talk Italian (Course Book and 2 CDs) (Paperback)
After reading many reviews - I chose this course and I certainly made the right choice. I have loaded the CDs onto my Mpeg 3 player and listen to them every morning on my way to work. As a complete novice to Italian, I now feel really confident about ordering wine and a meal (obviously the most important requirements). Easy to listen to and learn with no need to constantly refer to the book - although I carry the book with me and consult it when necessary. All in all, excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction for beginners, 25 April 2003
This review is from: Talk Italian (Course Book and 2 CDs) (Paperback)
I found this audio and text book combination an ideal way to get to grips with learning Italian. It's based on the original BBC series, but this pack has been updated to include euros rather than the old lire currency. Several situations are presented, providing a good range of vocabulary even at this basic level. A short section on grammar explains the fundamental structure of the language, which is more than enough at this level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, 5 May 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Talk Italian (Course Book and 2 CDs) (Paperback)
I have recently bought this book and CD pack following the reommendation of other readers on this website. I have been attending Italian lesson for the past 10 weeks and although I have learnt a great deal from my tutor I have found both the book and CD really helpful. I have found the CD particulary useful and listen to it most days in the car. I have also used it at home together with the book. I feel much more confident in my lessons since using the book and CD. I would reccommend this book to anyone who is looking to gain a basic understanding in Italian as It would be just as useful on it's own without the lessons.
