Editor's Verdict:

Eurotalk Premium Set Italian will take you from from a beginner level to lower intermediate, covering all aspects of the Italian language in between. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, vocab and grammar are all covered, not only at a reasonable price but also in an engaging and fun way, making this especially suitable for children and teenagers. Furthermore, Talk the Talk Italian is a unique feature which makes this product stand out from its competitors; users are exposed to useful and up-to-date phrases and vocabulary designed to improve conversational confidence with teenagers' social lives in mind. Although the prices of individual Eurotalk products are relatively low, we would recommend buying the premium set in order to make some great savings and secure yourself a more comprehensive Italian learning solution.

Immediately upon commencing the Eurotalk course it is quite clear that each product is simple yet effective. You begin by learning the basic vocabulary with Vocab Builder and Talk Now Italian, then, with Talk More Italian, you get the chance to form simple sentences, incorporating the words you have learned into basic grammatical structure. Talk the Talk Italian then introduces users to real world use of Italian while World Talk is excellent in demonstrating how and where you can apply your Italian to real world situations, regardless of your level. Throughout the Eurotalk Italian course, speech recognition, multimedia, games and quizzes ensure the learning process is varied and engaging, holding the user's attention.

Eurotalk's speech recognition technology and native speaker comparison software is a great way for you to expose yourself to real life dialog and accents and then try it for yourself; users are encouraged to start speaking from the word go. This technology almost comes as standard in this category due to the fact that it is an invaluable tool in helping you develop your accent and speaking skills; arguably the most important aspect of any language. Unfortunately, unlike other products in this category, the DVD-ROM cannot be played on regular CD players and Eurotalk Premium Set Italian provide no real mobile Italian learning option. Essentially, this ties you to your computer when studying Italian.

Eurotalk Italian's colorful and engaging graphics make it an excellent product for children and teenagers. Even those with specific learning difficulties have been found to respond excellently to the software. Eurotalk associate learning a language with fun as opposed to boring textbooks and classrooms. Due to this, however, adults may find Eurotalk Italian quite limited. This is compounded by a lack of some of the flashier features boasted by other programs in this category. This said, Eurotalk Italian is far more reasonably priced than many of its competitors so a lack of features can be forgiven. Furthermore, although potentially limited in scope, it is still a solid piece of language learning software. Flashy features and complicated grammatical explanations may be wasted on some; Eurotalk Italian could be the perfect solution for those who want to learn a language, but are simply to full of energy to sit down and study.
