Iâve noticed a great number of negative reviews of this series, and Iâve got to disagree. I picked up this Italian CD 4 months before a trip to Italy. Iâd taken a little French in high school, but didnât know a word in Italian other than âspaghettiâ. Yes, the songs are a bit cheesy, but by the time I got to Italy I was able to get along really well speaking Italian. From exchanging greetings, giving directions to cab drivers, checking into my hotel, ordering at restaurants and getting train tickets, (I even gave someone else directions in Italian!) this CD was ALL I needed to get by on vacation. While touring a winery one day, the owner actually asked me if I was a native speaker because my pronunciation was so good. (Believe me, it took a LOT of hours to get it down, but it was worth it). It took a solid month of listening to the first CD to and from work each day before I felt like I was really getting comfortable with it. Iâd suggest listening to it the first time while also reading the accompanying booklet with the transcript. Seeing how the words are spelled and how they fit together helped me better grasp some of the words that are harder to understand on the CD. After that, Iâd just listen in the car as suggested (going back to the booklet every once in a while to refresh my memory). There were even a few times before bed when Iâd just read the booklet and sing the songs in my head. Again, donât think youâll get all of this overnightâ itâll take a couple of months to get really comfortable with it. As suggested by the other reviewersâ the 2nd CD jumps the shark a bit after the 4th lesson. Once the protagonist (John) heads home for dinner with his family it gets off track and I stopped listening to it once he starts singing about his bedroom. Donât bother listening to the last track at allâ it is really weird. As an asideâ this CD also comes in a French version with exactly the same storyline and songs too. I picked up the French CD and was able to learn French even faster because I already knew the structure from the Italian CD. I was able to get along just as well in France too. On a final noteâ. I listened to this with my 7 year old niece in the car and sheâs started picking up little phrases too. Itâs an easy way to get kids to start speaking another language without them realizing theyâre learning! Not for rush hours This language course has 2 CDs with text and songs, plus a third CD with songs only. The accompanying book covers the first two CDs, not the third, but includes a short grammar and a vocabulary list of all the words used in the lessons. Each of the 10 lessons includes conversations in English to set the stage, then the new words and phrases in English and Italian. The course is advertised as a rush hour course to be used in the car.
