Rating:  Summary: Perfect for getting started in Italian Review: I like the pictures, I like how each page provides a dictionary for any words used on that page. It is simple, well explained process. It does not inundate you with details and conjugations. It just gives you what you will need to communicate in basic Italian.
Rating:  Summary: A Delivered Promise Review: I've used many language help books but this one is my favorite. I felt like I could indeed self teach Italian. And when I went to Italy my cousins there did understand me (for the most part). It's a great book for slowly building to a conversational understanding of the language.

Rating:  Summary: Voglio Bene Libro! Review: In learning the Italian language and phrases, this book has transpired above all the others. It uses words and pictures along with a progressive approach to learning... very well done!
Rating:  Summary: A Classic Learning Tool for Beginners of Italian Review: My husband and I review this book from cover to cover each year before we go back to Italy. We have been doing this for 20 years. I am about to order another paperback as I use it so much. This is a classic book. So easy to learn with pictures and words. For someone who knows no Italian, it is the perfect book to start with.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastico! -- A jump start that keeps on giving Review: The author claims that the user will be "pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to learn Italian with the method used in this book." I must say that truer words were never written. This little book will somehow have you "thinking" basic Italian very quickly.I guess that the pictures help reinforce the learning process, but that's not what makes this book great. It's the grouping of the ideas on the page that makes it so comprehensible. Not only do the "lessons" logically progress, each one also stands on its own as a useful learning experience. This confirms the author's claim that each page is a lesson unto itself. The book has a pronunciation guide, a limited but useful index, and a small Italian to English dictionary. There are also a number of "Everyday Expressions," that are just what the doctor ordered. This is a "must have" book. Yes, you may quickly outgrow it, but you will find yourself referring to it often as you continue your studies.

Rating:  Summary: A Great Starter Book! Review: The conversational nouns and verbs were very well chosen. This book is the perfect starter book for children and adults. You should grow out of it in three months, but it makes the transition to a more advanced Italian learning book much easier.
