1.0 out of 5 stars total waste of time, November 1, 2002
By A Customer
Please, do yourself a favor & buy a *serious* grammar book if you really want to learn the language -- I've been studying it off and on for years & this was a gift, I was glad I hadn't actually spent money on it...There really are no two ways about it while learning can be fun, it just can't be this superficial...My suggestion: try the Prego series...
in bocca al lupo!

2.0 out of 5 stars Had higher hopes, June 12, 2007
Overall, I was disappointed by this book. The reason I bought it was the layout--it seemed clear and concise and a good review to refresh on the Italian I already know. I do find it full of good summary tables, vocabulary lists and verbs. But there are so many typos and errors! Really, there are mistakes in the verb conjugations and in the answers in the appendix. Unforgivable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some Fun But Many Errors, April 20, 2006
By MMR (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Thank goodness I was just reviewing my knowledge of basic Italian! This book contains many interesting sidebars and fun crossword puzzles as well as interesting contemporary social and historical information but there are so many grammar errors (typos and poor, if any, editing) that I must caution any beginner against using it.

The contents of this book is not bad. But, even though I know only a little Italian, I was able to spot many errors in grammar explanations and in spelling. Read more
