Very hard to learn Italian if I don't know what I am saying! Also, the speakers on the CD do not speak slowly or clearly. The sound is muffled and must be turned up loud to understand. Then when you CAN hear it, no translation is provided. Not easy to use at all.I much prefer the "Behind the Wheel" series. No written work, just listen and repeat as you drive (or listen at home). Speakers talk slowly and annunciate every syllable very clearly. Each word or phrase is spoken in English, then twice in Italian with plenty of pause time for you to repeat. I have learned a lot of Italian with this series and cannot wait to return to Italy to try it out. I would skip this In Italiano series and buy the Behind the Wheel instead. Really. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: This S*** Better be Disco! Review: That's an example of the fantastic dialogue from this awesome B movie. I saw Brainiac on the big screen in Johnstown, PA where it was filmed. Yes it is low budget but it has heart! I can honestly say that seeing my local landmarks on film and some of my friends and neighbors in their film acting debut lend a helping hand in my enjoyment of this movie but you know what you are getting into when you buy it! Dialogue and special effects are over the top and of course unintentionally hilarious. This movie is indeed "Disco", Mr. Gratton.. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Something is missing Review: I'm a retired EE and having other textbooks in my library on this subject I would conclude that this is not an easy book to follow, certainly not as an introduction to second year engineering students. For example, the write up on higher-order circuits is just too superficial and left too large a gap to follow up into the examples or homework in my opinion. This treatment of subject areas seems to be the norm rather than the exception. This book is not incomplete and has many classical examples but it's just difficult to follow. There are better books. Its probably best to have other references in hand such as Schaum's, Charles M. Close, Ralph J. Smith, Johnson/Hilburn/Johnson and a good set of class notes to fill in between the gaps. Answer:
