Editor's Review:

As a market leader in language learning software, Transparent languages offer many different languages to budding polyglots. At $179.95 their most comprehensive language learning solution is not cheap, yet with 5 products in one and a wide range of features Transparent Italian Premium Addition stands out from  the competition.  Furthermore, if Transparent Languages can deliver on their promise to get you 'speaking Italian as your would your mother tongue' their product will certainly be worth the price. Transparent languages offer a 6 month money back guarantee, giving you peace of mind when parting with your hard earned cash.

With Transparent Italian Complete Edition users will get an integral language learning solution; 5 products in one convenient package!  Whether you prefer to learn through audio courses, reading, immersion or conversation practice, Transparent Italian promise to bring your level of Italian up to an advanced level in no time at all. Furthermore, a varied learning experience such as that offered by Transparent Italian not only makes learning more fun, the process is also optimized through the stimulation of different areas of your brain.

Byki Deluxe (part of Transparent English Complete Edition) enables users to immediately begin building the foundations of their dominion of the Italian language. Including thousands of the most common words and phrases in the Italian language, users learn and retain vocab according to an advanced algorithm that optimizes the learning process and will be able to construct and rapidly retain an extensive base of vocab. Speech recognition technology comes with Transparent Italian; recognition, comparison and analysis features ensure that users retain this mountain of vocab as it should be correctly pronounced. Transparent Languages also provide you with Everywhere Italian; an extensive course of lessons and exercises on CD and mp3 allowing you to fill that 'dead time' in the car, cooking or walking the dog with productive Italian learning. This feature is fantastic for revising and consolidating what you learn during the interactive activities.

Words form the building blocks of any language. Once you have built up an extensive base of vocab, Transparent Italian's complete course of lessons will allow you to build and improve your conversation style upon these foundations. With texts, videos and stories (all using native speakers) you will learn to speak, read and write in Italian. From everyday situations such as introductions and asking the time to more specific contexts such as discussing art and arranging a holiday, you will become increasingly confident in constructing sentences using the grammar and vocab you have learnt. With dedication and enthusiasm, you should be able to express yourself freely in Italian, just as you do in your native tongue.

We were impressed with Transparent Italian and found it to be varied, comprehensive and very practical. From the beginning, the program does not stray away from exactly what you need to learn. As users progress, different grammatical concepts are introduced at a rate that will not confuse you. Transparent Italian offers access to  translations  as well as immersion activities. However, it must be noted that the course itself is not an immersion one. These features make Transparent Italian an effective crash course for that upcoming business trip or holiday. Supplementing the program with other language learning tools will be necessary if you are looking to master Italian. In this way, Transparent Italian offers an excellent starting point. Users can pick and chose exactly what to study and when. However, this flexibility is a double edged sword . For those of us with language learning experience the flexibility is a bonus but for complete beginners, it can be a bit overwhelming as you simply don't know yourself where to start!  However, once you are settled in, Transparent English's progress tracker helps you structure your learning and makes the course stand out amongst its competitors. We really liked being able to continually asses our own progress, highlighting strengths as well as areas for improvement.

Without some flashy features and a slick user interface you may feel as though you are not getting your money's worth. The same can be said for the pure simplicity of Transparent Italian. If you have never learnt a language before and / or have a short attention span, as long as you can avoid being put off by the slightly dull, classroom style, the product will do exactly what it says on the tin. Although with all language programs you will only get out what you put in, Transparent Italian may require a little bit more commitment. Despite this, Transparent Italian will always provide you with a great starting point and is flexible enough to cater for almost all your language learning needs.
