Title: Not "Pronouced Perfectly in Italian"
Review: Professor Danesi is knowledgeable about his subject, Italian. It just doesn't come through in this book. Perhaps it was one of the first books he wrote and he hadn't gotten the hang of it but it lacks the clarity and explanatory power of his later books. I have three of his books and this is by far the least helpful. I started his work when I could barely say a word in Italian. I can now say a lot more, and his work is still helpful, just not this book.
