Editorial Review: Times Body & Soul: "By week 6 to my delight, I can recognise most of the words I hear and have an inkling of how to respond. By the end of the course I am astonished and proud to say that I feel I have a good grasp of Italian and can speak comfortably on everyday subjects. I find that vocabulary I'm looking for seems to pop up in my head rather than deliberately absent itself as it has done in the past." Times Body & Soul: "This is a great, fun way to learn. The Mind Maps helped to make it easier. What makes this different is the interactive side; there is more to do and more of an opportunity to use creativity. I'll definitely go for a GCSE in Italian now and I'll definitely use Mind Maps in future for learning any other languages I decide to study." Luke, aged 14.

 Rating: - Well put together but not revolutionary!As explained in the other reviews you get a two CD set and an A5 booklet with this pack. It's all been nicely put together for the beginner (this is definitely aimed at the phrase book/ tourist market) and the stand alone CD is a good idea. However the main problem with this is the inclusion of Tony Buzan's mind maps - I just can't see that they are helpful in learning a language. It's also quite annoying that he lays claim to teaching techniques that really wouldn't ... Read More Rating: - Great for holidays and basic language learningThe market in language learning products has always been an anathema to me. As soon as I have approached the shelves laden with endless confusing packages - some for beginners, intermediates or advanced - even `advanced advanced' (!?), those that claim that they take you from beginner to fluent in 2 nanoseconds (provided of course, you follow the exercises in each of the 85 disc set), those that use books, those that say that books are useless etc, the idea of language learning suddenly becomes an unwanted ... Read More Rating: - Accessible guide for those who find languages difficultI've learnt a few languages before, and am quite prepared to go through what many see as 'boring' books learning tables and so on. However, this book is nothing like this. It's colourful and friendly and interesting to use - although I don't feel that it would give you a massively solid grounding in Italian. It's ideal for someone who is going on holiday in a few months' time and wants to be able to learn the basics in a fun way, but it's probably not for the really serious langauge student. Rating: - Pretty good, in it's market - Another attempt at this review!If you want to learn a language, there are two ways to do it. Up sticks and immerse yourself in the culture and language or go to lessons with a good teacher. You can't learn to speak a language from CDs or Tapes. You can, however, gain an understanding and ability to communicate at a basic level and in this respect Tony Buzan's mindmaps are an admirable way of going beyond phrasebook muddle and confusion. The two disc approach, with one "structured" disc to be used with the A5 book provided ... Read More Rating: - A terrific way to learn a new language - 2nd attempt to post this review!What a fantastic introduction to a new language! It's attractively presented, colourful, bright and cheerful and the very presentation encourages you to want to learn! I have only had this pack for 2 days now, and have already worked my way through the first 2 units, learning as I go and enjoying every minute of it! On opening the box, I found 2 CDs - one to be used with the book, providing invaluable listening and converstaion practice; and the other to be used 'anywhere', helping with the trickier ...
