Learning languages is never easy and learning from a computer can be a disaster.
This is clearly not the case with Syracuse Language Italian, which combines speech recognition technology with multimedia and internet activities to give a clear path to linguistic success.
The software is easy to understand with excellent graphic content.
I thought the much-vaunted Smart Start website which accompanies the Syracuse series of language titles was rather less than dynamic, but it does deliver all the information it promises.
So if you plan to revive the spaghetti western, order pizza on the piazza or just want a cool set of chat-up lines, then this Italian course is for you!
