I chuckle when I read the other reviewer on this because I bought it wanting learn Italian to have a conversation with a friend only to find it was way too geared for people wanting to take a trip. Go figure.Actually I took a community ed class and this was the book the instructor used.The CDs are good, though the two native language speakers pronounce things slightly differently at times. The CDs are a big bonus over of other books and the main reason all the CommEd instructors for my district picked Living Lanuage.In addition they have some downloadable resources on their website, the URL in the book is longer correct apparently. I never had any problems but then I went to the main site, livinglanguage.com and then to Italian and then the labs. But class mates even using that path have had problems on their PCs.Their website also has flash cards and activities (only one so far I would consider cheesy) that are simple but you don't look or feel like you're playing a kids game. They have section to post questions.As for the grammar, the reason it might be heavy on that is because while in English the verb "to be" only has three present tense forms:Am - IAre - You (sg), We, You (pl), TheyIs - He, She, ItThe Italian verb "Essere" (to be) has:Sono - I, TheySei - You (sg)È - He, SheSiamo - WeSiete - You (pl)(I think I got that right, don't have my notes in front of me)(I've actually started learning a lot about English Grammar using this book, an expected side effect and bonus.
