Easy learning

It was better than I thought. If you listen to this a few times you will certainly pick up some words and sentences. I was quite surprised

Useful and brief intro for travelers

I found this short program a well selected intro for travelers to Italy. I listen repeatedly. Obviously made for Brits. Who else would order lager and chips while in Italy? ;) Would be perfect if it included more about directions.

Good recording

The audio itself is quite helpful for basic travel Italian. The pamphlet is absolutely worthless. It is just a table of contents and a list of other titles available from the publisher. I did find this to be a good starting point to learning Italian but I wish there was a transcript to follow along with.

Concise and simple

This was short and sweet and to the point and covered many of the phrases needed daily while traveling.

wish there was a pdf

this is good, enjoyed how it was taught and narrated, some words I had to look up in Google Translate to find out how they were actually Written so I would know how to say it. the 1st letters tend to sound like each other. but overall, good beginning!
