EuroTalk Interactive - Talk Now Learn Italian ReviewA software program is a good place to start learning a new language if you intend to self-teach. This program starts out with basic words and then moves on to thematic categories, such as "Colors," "Food," "Body," etc. New words are presented in a very basic manner; you see a picture of the item or action and the word written out, and a person reads the word off to you. You can also record your own voice reading the word to see if the pronunciation matches that of the native speakers. To help you while you're away from your computer, you can add the vocabulary words and phrases to your iPod.
This software is a good place to start and would be good for children, but you're not going to learn Italian with this software alone. The first problem I noticed is common among materials for learning a new language--there is no discussion of phonics. All of my Italian texts have pronunciation guides, but this software package--which offers sound while books cannot--does not. Instead of beginning with basic words, the software should start where we all start learning our native languages--with the alphabet and phonetics. Hearing the sounds would be more useful than trying to sound them out from textbooks. The next problem with this software is vocabulary. I like this software series because it is much cheaper than other software packages, such as Rosetta Stone. You can purchase other products in the series as you go along (EuroTalk Interactive - World Talk! Italian or EuroTalk Interactive - Vocabulary Builder! Learn Italian), and it's not as great a financial burden as buying a complete learning set at one time. However, you're not learning enough vocabulary with these programs alone, and they should be supplemented with other products, such as Mastering Italian Vocabulary: A Thematic Approach (Mastering Vocabulary Series). Finally, while I really enjoy have the iPod clips to listen to while I'm away from my computer, it would be better if the spoken words were presented in both English and Italian. That way, I wouldn't have to look at my iPod to see what the English word is, and I could listen to the tracks while driving.
Overall, I recommend software or CDs to help with Italian pronunciation and this software will certainly help there. Once you are familiar with general pronunciation, you shouldn't have a problem figuring out how to pronounce other Italian words. The software is much more interactive than simply reading from a textbook and it allows you to quiz yourself on word retention. It's not the best way to learn Italian, but the simple fact of the matter is that I turned to this program more often than my textbooks because it is much more engaging than print.EuroTalk Interactive - Talk Now Learn Italian Overview
