Eccellente - Rated
This is an amazing item, I have tried many diferent techniques to learn Italian and this is by far the best. I really do encourage you to buy this you won't regret it. The voices used are really good as well, they saying everything clearly allowing you to understand quicker. The music is also an added bonus it allows the words to stick in your brain faster, and makes the experience alot more enjoyable. With this product its not a matter of having to use it, but you want to use it. Fantastic.

Not for me. - Rated
The principle of learning a language by listening to music appealed to me but unfortunately I have to say that this doesn't really float my boat. It's not what I would consider music, rather it is just a re-work of the idea of repetition with some tunes in the background and some odd mixing.

Since buying this I haven't even been able to make it all the way through without becoming frustrated, or amused at the music... either of which aren't conducive to my learning some Italian.

I think I'll look for something else.

Excellent and Fun - Rated
Have just bought this for a family trip to Italy in a few weeks.

This CD is great, very attractive to listen to - rather than a chore (my wife enjoyed listening to it compared to other ones shw would ask me to turn off!)

Production is great, background music is very good and really adds to the experience, but the way it gives and then breaks down phrases that you are very likely to use gets you using words and phrases straightaway. I would consider using EarWorm again (e.g. for French)

Brilliant - Rated
This cd is absolutely brilliant, I had been struggling with remembering phrases and words before but now I listen to this on the tube on my way to work and before I know it I'm blurting out words in italian. It really does work, I had been letting the next module play whilst concentrating on the previous one but realised that without knowing it I had picked up words from the next section. Will definately be buying Volume 2.

It Really Works ! - Rated
By far the easiest method I have come across so far. I use it mainly in my car driving to and from work - it doesn't require a lot of concentration like others I have tried because it repeats each phrase several times (in a non-boring way) so it does not distract from driving.

I could really do with part 2 now and I hope they make one soon!
