5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibily inexpensive to teach a maximum of Italian!, April 6, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Speed Italian (4 One-Hour CDs) (Audio CD)
I am amazed that Language Dynamics was able to pack so much practical in their Speed Italian course for just a few bucks . I guarantee you that if you were to spend a fortune for Pimsleur and Berlitz courses and learned to speak all the material presented those courses, you couldn't begin to say or understand one fourth of what is taught in this fabulous course. This is the beauty of the Language Dynamics method. It takes a fund of the most common high frequency words and uses them as a foundation for fluency, sort of like a template that you can manipulate yourself over and over in thousand different ways as you increase your fluency. If you're serious about learning to speak Italian, then don't waste your money on other courses. Invest wisely (and inexpensively) in a Language Dynamics Speed Italian course and get the fast results that this excellent course will provide for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent learning program!, August 13, 2005
By 
singer-songwriter (North Hollywood, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speed Italian (4 One-Hour CDs) (Audio CD)
This is an outstanding product. I just started listening to CD 3 today, and already I'm putting together sentences on my own based on previous material on the first two CDs. Before finding this kit, I tried Berlitz (with singing) and Eyewitness' 15-minute Italian. Both of those programs fall far short of the teaching technique used in Speed Italian. This program is actually working! Also the quality of the recording is excellent. I can clearly hear every syllable the native speaker pronounces (which isn't true of all CD programs), and they leave plenty of pause time for the listener to repeat the phrase or sentence. I listen to this all the time in my car now. I can't wait to go to Italy so I can carry on a conversation!

4.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just a Few Key Survival Phrases...., May 17, 2007
This review is from: Speed Italian (4 One-Hour CDs) (Audio CD)
I purchased this set to learn a bit of Italian for my honeymoon to Italy. What I really wanted was something that would quickly teach me some key survival phrases--and if that's what you're looking for this set isn't it. These cds will teach you basic italian language from a beginning level, similar to what you would have if you took an Intro to Italian 101 class. I purchased this 2 months before leaving, and in 2 months I learned quite a bit of Italian, and it was helpful in Italy. If you have, say, one week to learn some key phrases I don't recommend purchasing this particular cd set. However, if you have some time to learn & practice like I did, then this is perfect. It's also very convenient in that you can learn while you drive--though stressful driving or high traffic areas make it too distracting. In my town, "heavy traffic" is 10 - 12 cars on the road and so for me it was easy to pay attention to the cd while driving. I give this 4 stars because it really worked well for me in the 2 months I used it, but it doesn't come with a book or manual & some words are a little difficult to hear the pronounciation of. For example, the woman on the cd says what sounds like 'voy-yo' (I want) & what she's actually saying is 'volio'. I only knew this because I happened to have a book. But even if you don't have a book to double check spelling/pronounciation your Italian will still be about 90-95% accurate. Overall, it was nice being able to tell the Italian locals more than just "I don't speak Italian, do you speak English?"
