This book is "down and dirty" for the tourist going to Italy

I also do Duolingo everyday, but I had to add this bc Duolingo is not geared for the tourist. This is a crash course to get you communicating with local Italians. The vocab is very practical. For the money you will save getting the book here... I highly recommend.

very good resource, easy to use, highly recommend...

We've used a different CD based system for French & this book/CD set "Learn Italian the Fast and Fun Way by Marcel Danesi & Barron's is FAR BETTER. It's simple to follow. I think the CD only systems are too difficult to follow & you need something in print that follows audio. This book is the coursework for a Italian class we're taking by a native of Italy & she said it's 99% correct.

It works, and in interesting.

Several of our teachers use this when teaching Italian and find that it is excellent.

Excellent book for my level of knowledge.

The book is excellent in teaching the pronounciation of Italian and the proper usage of word endings. I would also recomend the CD that comes with the book so you can hear the words that are covered in each lesson.

Nice Intro to Italian

This is a good book to use as a starting point. It covers some common phrases, grammar, and vocabulary. There is enough repetition of what you have learned in previous chapters to help you retain it. The 4-CD set is wonderful as a pronounciation help. The book is nicely organized into 29 well-planned lessons that take about an hour and a half each. Very nice way to begin learning this charming language.
