5.0 out of 5 stars Best language series out there, July 22, 2008

This review is from: Berlitz Basic Italian (Italian Edition) (English and Italian Edition) (Audio CD)

I've studied a lot of languages on my own and have struggled with finding material for language self-study. THIS is by far the best material for studying Italian - interesting, fun, interactive, the perfect speed for pronunciation, and despite being Berlitz uses sound methodology - communicative method of teaching. I have tried Teach Yourself series(awful, speak too fast) and Italian Now (yawn!). Don't waste your money on anything else.

I was hoping for a cheap version of Rosetta Stone, but this is just an update of the old "hear me pronounce the word" cassette tape systems available for years. I finally gave up and will go to Italy with my phrase book. Anybody want to buy my lightly used copy of this, contact me! ;-)
