3.0 out of 5 stars Regular Pimsleur Course Re-Merchandised, March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Italian (Pimsleur Language Program) (Audio Cassette)

While I heartily endorse the Pimsleur method for learning Italian, potential buyers should be aware that this set of eight tapes, marketed "for travelers," is nothing more than the first eight tapes of the regular Pimsleur course, as I found out to my cost (having already bought the 16-tape Pimsleur Beginning Level Italian), and does NOT focus on specific travel situations. The "extras" (postcards and luggage tags) are purely Pimsleur marketing material. Since the 16-tape course is $210 and this is $45, it's a bargain IF you only want to learn how to ask someone to dinner, ask directions, tell time and ask prices, and don't intend to actually learn Italian to the point where you can hold a conversation or even check into a hotel without resorting to English. Otherwise it's a rip-off.
