Title: Berlitz makes better products
Review: I bought this set before going to Italy for the summer. Since it had 4cd's, 2 books and a dictionary, I assumed that it would be a great help to me in learning some Italian. But it wasn't. The presentation is not particularly orderly or succinct, and an entire section early on is devoted to how to say absurdly complicated things like "I'm married, but my partner has just left me with our children". And what I really wanted to learn was simply how to buy tickets, order food, and hold brief, polite conversations.If you'd like to get started learning Italian, I'd recommend Berlitz's "Rush Hour Italian" which does a good job of going over the basics and helping you remember them.
