Title: Do not be misled by other the other great titles in this series!
Review: WARNING!!! DO NOT BE MISLED BY THE 5 STAR REVIEW of someone who is comparing the Italian course to the other Mastering course of Barron's - I have the Japanese, German and Spanish and THEY ARE ALL GREAT!!! What a disappointment to have struck out with the Italian course - after I returned it I found it at our local library a couple years later and thought I'd give it a 2nd try - what a waste of time - it has NONE or LITTLE of the fantastic drills (substitution drills etc.) we are thankful for and accustomed to finding with the other Barron Mastering courses. I love the quick pace of the drills - the speakers flash through it like lightening and critics say, "Sloppy" and yes, Pimsleur is great on pronunciation but you and I both know we're not going to hear that in Italy. So Barron is more true to life. All I can say about the Mastering Italian course here is "What a disappointment"
