Learn Italian Now!

Like everyone else is saying, this is absolute garbage and the company is trying to scam you by posting bogus 5-star reviews on Amazon. All products by Transparent Language are basically a 10-page piece of text spoken aloud by a native speaker. To lay the foundations of your language learning they use short, useless help files (a one-page list of the letters of the alphabet and a very sparse introduction to the different parts of speech) and nothing else. What they're selling individually for $40 and $50 was originally all bundled together for $10 on the "101 Languages of the World" CD, but as you can imagine they're making quite the killing doing things this way.

The music basic rule of audio language learning is not followed: Say it in English, then in other language. Even worse, sometimes the word pair is wrong ... something like (Hospital in Italian) - Train Station. The narrators read a little too slowly. Generic unoriginal lessons, etc. I have found a use for it though. When my mind is tired I lay in bed sometimes and listen to it. For a 7th grader this product may give their Italian a little edge when they go into the classroom. Indeed though, the product is so bad it is almost a con.
