I'm so happy with my new CD's that I have to share this! One of my New Year's resolutions was to learn a new language and there I was in the middle of the year with "no time" to do this. I was so ready to start that spent almost an hour reading all the reviews online for all the programs available and BEHIND THE WHEEL was the right choice for me. Even when the traffic is heavy and I have to drive long distances, I'm relaxed with my CD in a learning mode, not feeling that I'm wasting time. The best part is that in Italian doesn't matter what you are saying because anything sounds good and sexy, so this is really making me feel good!I was searching for the best choice for the price. First I thought about Rosetta stone but the price did not convince me, what about if I never have the "time" do to this after speeding all this money? And I know once I get in home I have so many better things to do than learn a new language, that's why the Behind the Wheel for US $30 something for me sounds like a deal and the CDs are really good!I just finished my second CD; there are 8 in the total. I think each CD takes around an hour. I'm listening two times each CD before moving to the next one and its being a pleasure to learn Italian this way! I have to confess that I speak Spanish and Portuguese but I don't enjoy studying languages. I just learn English when I moved to US and I learned Spanish because I live in Miami (it sounds funny but is true). I tried to learn English in school back in home but I always felt that I was bad for languages because I hate grammar and I hate to read about grammar. But I love to learn in the "streets" probably that's why this CDs sounds fun! Even if you speak just one language this one it's really easy. It starts with an American saying the word in English than comes an Italian lady saying the same in Italian and you just have to repeat it. You will start with one word, than two words without even notice you will be saying and memorizing sentences. Even if you don't say it perfect you are alone in your car so you can go back as many times as you want and repeat in loud voice until you master. I loved it!!! Now my 9 years old son took my CD #1 to listen and practice in his room! I guess it is fun for all ages!
