Enjoyable
I have used Elisabeth Smith's "One Day Italian" and "One Day Spanish" CDs before my trips to Italy and Nicaraugua and they were a great help. Unlike the other CDs I tried that were so boring that I threw them out after one try, Smith's approach is easy to follow and interesting enough to keep my attention. She gives you just enough words to build most of the sentences you will need and includes a booklet of them as well. The only sentence she left out was, "What is that?" and the pasta at the cafeteria outside the Vatican turned out to be squid. Add that one and you're all set. Have a great trip! SheShe
