5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to learn Italian!
I love this CD! It is a quick and easy way to begin (or in my case refresh) your knowledge of Italian. The pronunciations are clear and are given at the perfect pace to repeat to yourself or say aloud. Chantal has a beautiful voice that is a pleasure to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to learn Italian!, January 5, 2010
I love this CD! It is a quick and easy way to begin (or in my case refresh) your knowledge of Italian. The pronunciations are clear and are given at the perfect pace to repeat to yourself or say aloud. Chantal has a beautiful voice that is a pleasure to listen to. She provides relevant examples that are useful in starting to formulate your own sentences in Italian in no time. I would definitely buy future volumes of "Let's Learn Italian!"

2.0 out of 5 stars WELL STRUCTURED BUT POOR PRONUNCIATION EXAMPLES, June 17, 2010
I am Italian and I think what this woman has done is a great, simple and probably quite direct way to learn basic beginners Italian HOWEVER...she makes many pronunciation errors and does many classicly anglo-saxon phonetic paterns such as dipthongs (which are also present in Italian...just not where she puts them sometimes :-)
if you listen to even to some of the first examples she says the word BENE....which in italian means good BUT she says it with 2 n's "benne", unfortunatly this is a mistake that many monolinguistic english speakers make and the worst part about it is that she obviously doesnt even hear it herself (assuming that she has listened to her own method). So...be careful here, I would spend the extra cash and go for Rosetta Stone italian or some other higher end method...in the end you want to learn a language...trust me that $8.99 is too little to spend. (by the way I speak 4 languages just for those who were wondering).
