On the matter of English grammar, Cage, you might ask one of your friends to explain to you the difference between "it's" and "its", and that between "complement" and "compliment". Likewise, you might note that, in English, singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects plural verbs. You also might review the use of commas. ;)

Please refrain from personal attacks and return to the topic on hand, otherwise I'll have to close the thread.

The Berlitz CDs are ineffective, and the classroom instruction, while effective, costs nearly twice as much as a college language course. Unless you are looking for some exotic language like Urdu or Farsi, go with Living Language or Rosetta, or go to your local community college.

Back to the subject of vocabulary books...
These are more advanced, but will also prove useful: 'Parola Per Parola' by Tony Giovanazzi and 'Using Italian Vocabulary' by Marcel Danesi 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When you say the classroom instruction is "effective" are you speaking from personal experience? I have often wondered if their "in-person" lessons live up to the claims of their TV ads. Edited by psy88 on 11 March 2011 at 2:37am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I worked there for four months. students generally satisfied and the only real complaints I observed were about cost. nb. mostly american students complaining about cost, foreign students here for English just pay w/o awareness of lower cost competitive offerings.
