.Italianissimo: Beginners No.1 by: Denise De Rome October 29, 1992 This collection is more like a fictional narrative in english rather than actually teaching and learning italian. You barely get a chance. The Italian bits go by so fast, and then they are back to a silly collection of totally unnneccessary sound effects, silly music, and far too much english blabbering in between the italian. basically, she rambles on far too much and loads it up with flouncey themes. On top of that, her voice - reminiscent of a puppy dog with a wet nose, you wish she'd do a section on clearing out nasal passages before recording cd's. The problem with this collection is that it just rambles off some remote italian phrases, but you get absolutely no understanding of how things are put together structurally, thus ...

.Italianissimo: Intermediate Course Book Bk. 2 (Italianissimo) by: Denise De Rome January 28, 1994 Italian is not my first foreign language I have ever learnt. And I don't really understand why people would turn this course down. I have seen quite a few language materials available here on Amazon. There are two types of them: 1) "super-modern" solutions (Michel Thomas, Learn Italian in your car) or "modest-size" materials (phrase books, short self study courses -e.g. "Teach yourself Italian") - these are, probably, make good choice for beginners or one-time travellers to Italy; 2) "traditional" courses - some of them are obsolete and boring but not all of them. Whilst mentioned materials from the first type can make you progress in relatively little time, give self-confidence or only satisfy your needs occasionally, only "traditional" ...

.Italianissmo 1: Beginners Activity Book by: Denise De Rome June 01, 1992 If you bought the main course book and cassettes this item is a must for a successful learner. It gives a diverse range of exercises that engage you to improve your skills, mostly grammar and vocabularly. It also give some additionali pieces of information to complete you Italian knowledge. However, I cannot find a similar book for intermediate level. >>See More Reviews & Details on Italianissmo 1: Beginners Activity Book |

.Italianissimo 2: Intermediate Cassette Pack (Pt. 1): Intermediate Cassette Pack 1, Pt. by: Various, Denise De Rome August 29, 1996 I find the quality of the recordings absolutely perfect. All the recordings are made in real situations, sometimes with background noise, sometimes faster or slowly - just like people speak in different situations. In addition, you would have full transcriptions for them in the course student book. Very useful exercises are provided on these tapes (CDs) with necessary pauses. One more advantage is that 4 cassettes for each level (beginners and intermediate) are rather extensive sets providing you with enough listening material for successful studying either self- or in-class. >>See More Reviews & Details on Italianissimo 2: Intermediate Cassette Pack (Pt. 1): Intermediate Cassette Pack 1, Pt. |

.Italianissimo: Intermediate Cassette Pack 2, Pt. (Italianissimo) by: Various, Denise De Rome August 29, 1996 Compared to previous BBC and other language courses, this course is poor. Having lived abroad for nearly 8 years, foreign languages are something that I am used to and learning a new language should be a pleasure. This course made it hard work. It is bitty and has little flow. The book has been designed to attract the buyer rather than teach the language. There is a massive amount of wasted space and information that I could do without. Facts like "Bologna was the first Italian city to close its centre to traffic" or "everything you want to know about naming your baby in Italy" which is obviously a must know item before you reach page 25. Many of the settings for dialogue are unrealistic and irrelevant. How many of you are regular mushroom pickers?
