Summary: Not for beginners
Comment: Though it doesn't say it in the description, this book is not intended for beginners to the Italian language. It DOES say that once you get the book.
For what it does, and the price, the book is good. But I would suggest you go through the Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone series before going through this, or you might find yourself rather confused. Good luck!

Summary: A definite help for adults learning Italian
Comment: I teach Italian in an adult school program, often adults need a quick resource regarding Italian grammar and English grammar. The glossary of grammatical terms regarding English is a must read first, then the Italian grammar falls into place. Even though the book is a 1963 publication, it is extremely helpful today( 2008) I plan to give the book to my advanced students as a reward for their dedication to studying Italian.

Summary: All the essentials and easy to carry...
Comment: This review book is excellent. Most books concentrate on travle related phrases which you must memorize and PRAY that you remember. If you want to learn Italian stay away from travel books. They really do not work becuase the nature of the language is not explored- just sentences to help you find the bathroom or order food. My travel to Italy is both family and business related so I have had to spruce up my Italian. I carry it with me everywhere and while I have time I read, re-read and work on my language skills. I have also used it to teach others. What is nice is that she covers every topic, translates the entire sentence literally- in the order of the Italian language and then provides the English equalivent. Because of the ordering of words is so different (pronouns, negations etc..) it may be difficult for someone to grasp the learning of Italian. Other books simply give the phrase and then translate it but the ordering of words is out of whack. Sometimes the meanings are changed! This book is clear, easy to follow and easy to take with you. When I taught my husband I used the following- Italian in 10 minutes a day ( to reduce the fear factor and make it smooth) then Michel Thomas's tapes (they work), a good verb book, dictionary and the Idiots Guide... Worth it!
