TeLL me More Italian Premium - Complete Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced (3CDs)
Auralog | ISBN: 2749011019 | 2000-05-09 | MP3 | 500 Mb ~ CD
I've been experimenting with trying to learn Italian for several years. A few trips to Italy had prompted me to try various quick book and audio solutions. Every thing I tried got me frustrated, so I tried the online demo, then decided to buy the 4 level version.
What a great investment. The interactivity is amazing. It's almost like having 100% attention of an Italian teacher. Although I've only spend about 4 hours, I can tell that I am learning the real language, not just how to order food.
The UI takes a bit to get used to, it's written in Flash, and very polished. It just doesn't look like MS Windows, so you have to get used to where the buttons are (home, back, forward, help, etc)
There is a mode where you can have a conversation with the computer. You don't need to type anything, the speech synthesis and recognition walk you through a semi scripted conversation. I hope there is lots more of this through the course. It may be hard to imagine how useful this mode is until you try it, but a conversation is the true test of learning a language. All the books and CD's in the world can never provide this.
Since it runs off the CD, there can be a 5 second delay between pages while the CD spins up. I sped things up by putting the contents of the CD on a virtual drive. I didn't check with their support, but they may have other options.
