No, I’m a “go big or go home” kinda guy, and I purchased the entire 5-module set of FLUENZ Italian. I did not bother ordering just the first module. Sorry, this is an election year in Canada so, what I meant to say was: bogus claims concerning language-learning methods.ĭespite my scepticism, I took the plunge. I searched the Internet for reviews and found, for the most part, what I considered to be the largest collection of bogus claims that I have ever had the misfortune to come across. The process continued until my state of desperation drove me consider FLUENZ Italian. I completely abandoned my project to learn Italian only to return. I had previously purchased, or downloaded, what my experience assured me were the very best language-learning materials available for independent learners desirous of learning Italian: Assimil (both levels), Living Language Ultimate (both levels), Linguaphone, Pimsleur I-IV, Michel Thomas (four levels), FSI Fast, FSI Programmatic, and I augmented my collection with a selection of intermediate readers and magazines. Searching for inspiration to fill the inner void, I purchased FLUENZ Italian.

Over the years, my use of language-learning products had become compulsive and yet, somehow, unfulfilling.

As for many of you, my story is one of is one of desperation. Me: I was rather surprised by the recent discussion thread on Rosetta Stone and it has given me the courage to step forward and tell my own story.
