Review: Surprisingly effective for vacation travel - We recently went to Italy on a family vacation and wanted to make some attempt to be familiar with the language. I decided to purchase this product as it looked like a good introduction at a good price while realizing that I was not going to be fluent in the language. It comes with 16 half-hour lessons on 8 CDs. There is also a little bit of reading practice, but its almost all verbal. The lessons work well in a car although it can be a bit hard to get pronunciation right in a noisy environment. For me it was perfect because my commute is also about a half hour long. I needed to do each lesson at least twice, but your mileage will, I'm sure, vary. The lesson content could use a little bit of work, some of the introductory lessons seem to be aimed mostly at single guys that might hope to pick up an Italian lady. That's certainly a valid use case, but both my wife and I felt it wasn't subtle at all. Fortunately, in my opinion, and taken as a whole, the lessons do provide a foundation of Italian including many useful phrases, numbers, time, directions, etc. on top of how to ask a lady if she's like to have a drink at your place. I certainly did not speak Italian even remotely well when we arrived at our vacation destination, but these lessons made all the difference, and I was able to handle a surprisingly large number of interactions. Pimsleur deserves 5 stars for a great introduction to Italian.
Review: works for me! - The lessons are only 30 min long and very repetitive but they stick in your mind like glue at the end of every lesson it sets up a conversation you take part in so you actually get to use what you learn and form your own response. Its also very practical its all words and phrases you would use if you were visiting Italy. It's a great start to learn a language. This isn't french, but I took french for 2 years and all I can say is pieces of paper count to 39 and conjugate verbs. Ive been doing this for a few weeks and ive already had conversations with Italians visiting here

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent way to get started
*by M***A on September 7, 2011*

We're heading to Rome and Florence in late October and wanted to have some basic language skills to make the trip more enjoyable. This Pimsleur starter set is quite good and we love the way the lessons keep coming back to things you learned previously. It really helps the words and phrases stick and helps tune the ear to particular phrases, each of which are likely to be of at least some importance while we're there. The one thing that kept me from giving this a 5 star is the lack of ANY written materials. I knew this when I bought it and it's still a great CD set. However, there are many times when the speakers say something that is simply hard to understand and say properly, so I find myself going to an online translator to identify the word or phrase. If Pimsleur simply included a PDF with the transcripts, this series would be a 5 easily. As it stands, I'm creating my own transcript as I go, and it's helping me learn more effectively that doing audio alone. All said though, I've been learning Spanish off and on for years and wish I'd known about the Pimsleur-type learnings methods for that. I'm picking up basic Italian far faster with this learning method. This is worth the money and a low risk way to get started on a language.
