Query: Very useful for good pronunciation

This book comes with two cassettes. The text works systematically through all the vowels, double and triple vowels, and all the consonants, explains how they differ from English sounds, shows in drawings how to place your tongue for each of the sounds and then brings 5 or 6 Italian words as examples. The speaker pronounces each of those words, you repeat after the speaker, then the speaker pronounces them a second time. At the end of each lesson, you learn whole sentences that use the newly learned sounds.Book and cassettes provide a good overview of Italian sounds and help to improve one's pronunciation. I really liked the course.
