 Don't waste your money June 10, 2010

This set is a waste of money. The woman's voice is horribly annoying. The music and singing are terrible -- I absolutely don't want to hear those songs ever again. And the lessons are so overly simplistic they are unbearable.
The "Teach Me Italian" CDs are MUCH, MUCH better. They at least have catchy songs that I don't mind playing over and over again.
Anyone interested in buying my set? It's practically untouched and you can have it cheap.

What a wonderful product! My husband and I speak a little Italian and wanted to introduce our son to the language before our trip to Italy. I borrowed this from the library before buying it. I couldn't have made a better choice! My son, who is 7, loves this set and enjoys listening to the CDs, which include dialogue and songs. What I like about the CDs: the gentle and encouraging voice of the narrator/teacher; the everday situations; the strangely catchy songs (which teach numbers, colors, etc); and, perhaps best of all, the voices of Italian children saying their names, asking for various things to eat, choosing colored balloons, and more. I think their presence on the CDs makes children feel at home and encourages them to mimic their peers. The accompanying book reinforces the dialogue on the CDs, though it is perhaps most useful to children who can already read (English). This has been a great way to prepare for our trip to Italy. I only wish there were a second, more advanced set, so we could keep going! My son is certainly ready for more. I highly recommend this set to anyone wishing to introduce her child to basic Italian.
 Super course, but a dead-end December 30, 2008

I'm an American woman, married to an Italian. Although we live in the U.S., we are trying to raise our daughter to be fluent in Italian. This course is probably the best one that I have seen for kids.
Here's the problem: once you have finished this course, there seems to be nothing more (no volume/course II). I guess this can still be useful if you wish to get your child excited about studying Italian. However, if you are both serious about learning, you soon will have to switch to another system (or move to Italy).
For long-term Italian study we are using the Rosetta Stone DVD course.
It's even great for adults August 13, 2008

As an elementary school teacher i know that things for children are a good, simple way for people to start learning; even "older" adults. I have been correct. I also like hearing the language from both children and adults as my husband and I will be spending six weeks in italy with families. I plan to pass this along to friends that want to review their past italian language skills. The workbook also provided good review and learning. It's been fun. Ciao.

This package is a great place to start your children on the way to learning Italian. I wish they made a part 2. Best place to start 3yrs and up.
