My wife and I decided to try this product to help us learn Italian. We already had some language study books, and were meeting with a weekly study group. We were somewhat skeptical that a package of learning tools this inexpensive could be all that good, but decided that it was priced low enough that it was worth a try.

We have been delighted! It is so helpful to have the flash card section that correctly pronounces the words, and the Theater section allows you to hear the language spoken both at normal speed, and at a slower, more understandable speed. The Reading section lets you analyze the Theater scenarios word by word for more complete understanding. Even the word games section has been a great learning tool for us. Last, but certainly not least, the program lets you speak the words and sentences being learned while it rates and analyzes your pronunciation, just like the much more expensive Rosetta Stone software does.

In my opinion, this is a great product, at a great price.

It is a great way to learn and enhance your italian! I'm a Mac user and works just fine.

I have many of these courses and love them all. Easy and fun way to learn. Unfortunately, their REBATES are handled by a NOVA CORPORATION: I'm waiting for more information to determine if it's a FRAUD

I purchased this product from Amazon.com. I was to get a rebate. I sent in ALL the required information. I receive an email saying that my rebate package was received and in a couple of months I might receive the rebate. In checking their website it states that ALL the required material was NOT received. What gives? It appears to be a scam. I hope not as I have had very good luck with Amazon.com since they started.Berlitz Italian Premier (Win/Mac)

I bought this product as a gift and so I don't have a final review, but it is cheap and if someone wants to learn the language, this will work for them.
