Really Like this App!

One of the few apps that actually explains aspects of grammar. This app truly teaches italian rather than solely relying on teaching phrase regurgitation. So far this app seems like a good first step to learning italian.
Perfetta!!!

Grammar, finally an app that includes the ESSENTIAL part of every language. Learning words is just half the game, how do people expect to learn a language when words like is and an are still a foreign language.
Soo helpful!!!

I downloaded this for my vacation to Rome. People really do appreciate it when you try to speak the language. I just looked up the phrase I needed and listened to it. Simple as that. My Italian friend was pretty amazed with the app also. I recommend this for any traveler. Or, anyone interested in learning a bit of Italian. Actually, I recommend all of the "for dummies" language apps. They are super helpful.
Excellent

There's a lot of things one could buy for a dollar. Not magnificent things but quick and satisfying for that exact moment. But how many things could you buy for a dollar and it will last a life time? Not many. This app, is an exception. I have learned so much about the grammar of Italian in 3 days than I did using anything else. Learning a language is more than just saying and memorizing vocabulary, it's about sentence structure. You don't learn sentence structure by just repeating words and looking at pictures of apples and people. You learn it by writing. This app goes into lovely detail on grammar which is THE most important thing in learning any language. You dont want to sound like an idiot when attempting to gain the attention of someone or while cursing them out, cause frankly the joke's on you. If you get this app take it seriously. It wont give you the magic wand to start having full blown conversations the minute you download it. Study it. Take time out of your day and learn it well. Thank you for having read this very long review. Sincerely, A very satisfied customer. P.S. Anxiously waiting for Japanese and German.
Where is the sound ?

I really like this app, however, when I tap the speaker icon to hear the pronunciation, nothing happens. :(
