Italian on the Go (On the Go Language Packages)
This updated edition in Barron’s popular On the Go foreign language-learning series features updated dialogue that closely reflect the contemporary scene in Italy. All On the Go programs use cassette tapes to emphasize elementary speaking and listening comprehension in the target language. Oral exercises encourage listeners to absorb language fundamentals, then use listen-and-repeat exercises to teach words and phrases especially useful to travellers. All On the Go language teaching packages contain two 90-minute cassettes with a detailed script booklet. They’re ideal for language-learning while driving a car or jogging in the park with a Walkman.

Review by Rosemary West for Italian on the Go (On the Go Language Packages)
Rating:
Although there are some phrases about travel, hotels, and restaurants, much time is wasted on things that are not helpful to the beginner, and especially not to the tourist. Siblings arguing over borrowing money from their grandparents? People gossiping about their friends and describing their living room furniture? Whose idea was this? In any case, there is no systematic approach to the language, nor any serious attempt to help a beginning student learn the basics of vocabulary and sentence building. There are much better choices available, such as “Learn in Your Car Italian”.
