Helpful With the Details, June 1, 2004
While this item by itself is unlikely to have you speaking Italian, it does
provide quite a bit of important information. It has a lot more detail than "The
Basics". For example, I appreciated the very detailed explantions of how to
conjugate the various verbs. It's well organized, with a review at the end of
each section, and the option of just playing through all the reviews without
having to go through everything again. As a supplement to an overall course of
study it provides plenty of information and reinforcement.

Too much English, too few Italian dialogues, May 29, 2002
This tape does a good job in thoroughly explaining some of the basic
grammatical rules about Italian nouns and adjectives (how the endings must
conform and the rest of it). But almost 80% of the time you see and an English
speaker explaining the rules in English. There are just two short dialogues
between two native Italians in the tape with poor voice quality. Most of the
example Italian sentences are read by English speakers, sometimes with
noticeable American accent. In short I think you don't learn much by watching
the entire tape, one can summerize the vocabulary and the grammatical rules
explained in this tape in just 3 or 4 pages. --This text
