Title: Good but dated
Product review: First: I had no problem downloading the CD's onto my computer and further onto my mp3 player.Second: the copyright of the book is 1991. It's sadly out of date. Prices in conversational dialogues are given in lire, not euros. One conversation involves going to the telephone store to make a long distance call; whereas, everyone today has a cell phone. Those are just two examples.Third: this method is great for those who already know a Romance language; and therefore are familiar with basic verb conjugations, sentence order, common grammar rules, etc. In this method, you jump right into the deep end. If you're new to language learning, it would be better to put out the extra bucks and go with something like Rosetta Stone.I still give it 4 stars because I think it's a relatively rapid way to learn Italian for those with a background in foreign languages and good motivation to learn.
