Comments about Italian I Q&S:
Quick & Simple Italian is an excellent program for building a basic foundation for learning the language. It is highly suggested for someone who wishes to travel to Italy for either business or pleasure. It only requires a 30 minute/day commitment. If you find yourself struggling with a certain lesson (as I have) just keep doing your daily 30 minutes and it will start to become natural and easy. I have found it very easy to integrate into my schedule as it is portable audio. I find it fun to use as well. For me, it feels more like a game than work.
I have used other language tools for tourists and they usually just teach broken-down basic phrases. This is not the ideal way to communicate with native fluent speakers as you will have a difficult time understanding most of what they say. What seperates this program from others is that you are interacting with fluent speakers in a fluid and organic away. After some time and practice you will find yourself understanding what they say even if they are speaking fast. This is especially important as Italian speakers have a tendancy to run words together.
The Quick & Simple programs will teach you enough language to have the survival basics to get by in a foreign country. The lessons are NOT random phrases. They utilize realistic conversations and deal with issues that are relevant for travelers. I would give yourself about 2 weeks to fully integrate these lessons before traveling.
