Product Description
Now anyone can learn a foreign language while commuting to work, running errands, or even taking a trip with the family. The new all-audio Drive Time series starts with an ingenious “On-Ramp” CD that eases language learners into Spanish, French, Italian, or Japanese with simple, practical expressions and engaging warm-up exercises. Three additional CDs contain 18 lessons that cover all of the essentials—vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and basic conversation.
Drive Time also includes a 64-page reference guide for anyone who would like to see spellings or read dialogues as a review—from the passenger seat, of course!

Needs improvement ( vincentr43 )
A great idea to study and practice while driving. One big problem though, the actual physical CD is more thin than average. It skips in my CD player in the car. I don't have this problem with any other CD's that I play. It is very frustrating.

Italian drive-time CDs
Starts off well with the first CD - and they have made Italian seem really easy to learn while you are driving. But then they jump into heavier grammar and it gets more difficult, the conversational stuff is better for learning while driving - you learn with the repetition.

Good Choice
Excellent product, but should not be relied on solely it you REALLY want to learn Italian. But it makes the ride in the car ( even in traffic!) very bearable.

Drive Time Italian
Very pleased with this product. Using Rosetta Stone at home and the I use this product to practice when in the car.

Too big a jump
The first lesson went swimmingly. I build up confidence and could easily follow and use the language I learned. With enthusiasm I moved onto the second CD and alas the speed of delivery and quantity of new vocabulary made it clear that this might not be the best resource for the new learner of Italian. This is despite the assurances of the Italian speakers who model the langauge.
