Title: Italian basics taught by native english speakers
Review: If you are looking for an extremely basic Italian lesson this is it. The tape covers the following:1. Italian alphabet2. Pronouncing vowels3. Pronoucing consonants and double consonants4. The formal/informal distinctions5. Days of the week6. Months7. Numbers to 1008. Subject PronounsBeyond this there is very little on the DVD.Pros:1. It covers the basics in detail2. Since it is a DVD you will see the word while hearing the word which is usefulCons:1. There in not enough on the DVD for even a basic conversation2. The DVD is taught by native English speakers so the accent is not correct.Overall, I do not recommend this DVD unless you have no background with Italian. However, if you are looking for something that covers the most rudimentary basics you might enjoy this DVD. Just be warned, it will teach you Italian as spoken by Americans not by Italians.
