 Learning Italian March 11, 2007
James Sunbury (Ohio)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
In struggling to learn Italian in anticipation of our trip there, I purchased four teaching products this year, plus several books, and took a continuing ed course. I am looking for a magic, easy way to learn, I guess. New languages are hard! (Age 62). My opinions:
I liked Tell me More Italian better than the similar Rosetta Stone Italian I. These are computer programs. Tell Me was more adaptable to my level, had more variety of exercises, and was in general more fun. Both of these programs gave me a confidence in my pronunciation that I never had in four college French courses many years ago.
I liked Pimsleur Conversational Italian (16 lesson version) better than the less expensive Penton Overseas Learn in Your Car Italian. These are CDs you play while driving. Pimsleur was more personal, more patient, and had more repetitive practice of conversation.
Finally, the continuing ed course, Italian I at Ohio State (eight two-hour classes), was invaluable for the best teaching of the basics of Italian (structure of the language such as conjugation) coaching from the personable teacher (Paola Nanni-Tate), the interaction with live students, and the pressure to study each week to avoid embarassing mistakes in class, which of course I made anyway.
 Great product but not for everyone March 6, 2007

I have been using this TeLL me More Italian for a few weeks now and am really enjoying the product. I have found it easy to navigate around the program (read the instructions they're short and worth it) and Help screens are offered with each new activity if you have any trouble. Also, the voice recognition pronunciation practice really breaks it down syllable by syllable and tells you where you are making mistakes. My only complaint so far is the dictionary doesn't have all the words used in the activities in it so sometimes you can't really figure out what something says. I have a few years experience with speaking Spanish and since the languages are very similar it has been fairly easy to pick up Italian. I would not advise anyone to buy this program who has never tried to learn another language before. The format would be very confusing and overwhelming. I have done great with this program but it's not for everyone. I used Pimsler to learn some Polish a while back and it worked well for learning a few phrases quickly but TeLL me More gives a more in-depth view of the structure of the language which was what I was looking for this time.
Simply the Best September 12, 2006

This program may not be for everyone. It is a total immersion approach which asks the student to jump right in start speaking immediately. I studied on my own going up to level three. It took me about a year. At first I was perplexed but persisted with my studies. Being on CD, you can repeat words even a single syllable over and over until you've mastered them. When I enrolled in a university class, I was so far ahead of the others that my first year of Italian was a snap. Go with the flow on this program, there's nothing quite like it any where short of a home tutor sitting next to you and they don't repeat thing a million times until you get it. No human has that much patience.
Very good program March 3, 2006

I wanted to learn Italian, as I still have family there and wanted to be able to speak a little when I visit them.
Then, I searched for the best software as I know I wanted to use my computer to learn, as it seemed to me the most promising tool. After reviews on some websites, and asking a free demo CD of TeLL me More Italian to their toll free number, comparing it to others, I decided to buy TeLL me More. I found that this software is really helping me, even beyond my expectations...
I am really enjoying learning Italian, which is surprising as it has been so long I am done with school...There are a lot of different activities and basically everything you need to learn Italian. I like the immersion method as it reminded me my visit to Italy about 10 years ago: at first, you listen to words, sentences, look at the translations, to memorize them, and then you can actually speak.
 Waste of money. February 15, 2006

After all reviews showed this product to be the best there is, I am thoroughly disappointed. I am a beginner, and this product is entirely awful for beginners. There is no sense of any progress, and this program is for people who already have an active understanding of the language. Do not waste your money if you don't know the language. Terrible product.
