Just gotten the book. On page 5 their is a short test. Using the words given on the left their is space on the right to write in the word in English. That is great if I knew Italian, the word valige is no where to be found in the book.

Although I’ve taken many language courses, this is the first time a text book encourages the user to speak the language and makes it easy by repetition and pronunciation aids.
Rating: 4 / 5
I find the book a little short on explanations and orientations. Also the material is a little weak. I find Italian a complex language even though I fluent in Spanish so a good book or method is vital.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is a fun, practical, and effective introduction to Italian. About 15 minutes a day over a number of weeks or months is all that’s required to master the fundamentals of the language and be able to get by in travel situations.
I teach an adult ed course in Italian for travelers and have found this book to be the most helpful and easy to use of all the basic methods I’ve tried. There is enough variety in the activities and materials presented to keep students interested and involved, and to reinforce the vocabulary and grammar that needs to be learned.

I’ve never had an “ear” for other languages and struggled with them in both high school and college. Now, through a university continuing education department, I am studying Italian with a really good teacher, and we are using this book as our textbook. The title says it all: this really is a “fast and fun way” to learn Italian.
