Amazon.com Review

Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

Review

"Your audio program is the best I've tried. I just returned from France and had a wonderful time conversing in French even though I had only three weeks with your tapes before I left. Thanks for putting out such a superlative product at a reasonable price." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile for me, July 12, 2006

This review is from: Italian: Level 3: Learn In Your Car (Audio Cassette)

I greatly improved my Italian with this program. I got it packaged with Vocabulearn Italian Level Three as Global Access Italian Advanced. Level Three is very good for the student who already knows the basics of Italian grammar, but cannot recall the forms quickly enough to carry on an intelligent conversation. The examples can give comfort in using common sentence patterns as well as providing a more advanced vocabulary. I found it most valuable in the sections dealing with reflexive verbs and the conditional tense as well as certain idiomatic usage. The basic technique is simply repetition and logic. I did not find it a particularly fast process, but my knowledge of the conditional tense and reflexive verbs is firm. I don't have to think about using them. It's automatic. I wish I could find something comparable that would give me the same ease in using the passato remoto and the subjective tenses. I think this is an excellent supplement to the study of Italian grammar. Four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review and practice with verb forms and other grammar., December 21, 2010

This review is from: Learn in Your Car Italian, Level Three [With Guidebook] (Audio CD)

If you are not using Italian all the time it's easy to get rusty on verb forms in the different tenses. This CD course will give you a much needed review and drill with advanced verb forms and other parts of Italian grammar that it's easy to forget.

It is level three, so it's not for the beginner.
