Very useful for good pronunciation,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pronounce it Perfectly in Italian: Book with 2 Cassettes (Pronouce It Perfectly In--) (Audio Cassette)
This book comes with two cassettes. The text works systematically through all the vowels, double and triple vowels, and all the consonants, explains how they differ from English sounds, shows in drawings how to place your tongue for each of the sounds and then brings 5 or 6 Italian words as examples. The speaker pronounces each of those words, you repeat after the speaker, then the speaker pronounces them a second time. At the end of each lesson, you learn whole sentences that use the newly learned sounds.Book and cassettes provide a good overview of Italian sounds and help to improve one's pronunciation. I really liked the course.

Pronounce it really right,
By Edward Funk (Highland park, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pronounce it Perfectly in Italian: Book with 2 Cassettes (Pronouce It Perfectly In--) (Audio Cassette)
This is a concise little book which really teaches you how to pronounce Italian. It gives you a foundation to build on. Italian pronunciation follows rules but can be tough. Can you really say ghiacco? You need to in Italy becuase they don't put it in the glass. This book takes you through dipthongs, triphongs etc and at the end you really have an essential skill to learn Italian. Start here and then start listening to tapes and reading stuff.

Not "Pronouced Perfectly in Italian",
By Bill Boland (New York, NY, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pronounce it perfectly in Italian (Paperback)
Professor Danesi is knowledgeable about his subject, Italian. It just doesn't come through in this book. Perhaps it was one of the first books he wrote and he hadn't gotten the hang of it but it lacks the clarity and explanatory power of his later books. I have three of his books and this is by far the least helpful. I started his work when I could barely say a word in Italian. I can now say a lot more, and his work is still helpful, just not this book.
