Books and CD's for learning Italian

Here is a selection of books, audio CD's and cassettes for learning Italian.
There are books for learning Italian, grammar books, and audio courses.
Please click on the item to go to Amazon.com and read reviews by other customers.
Italian is written mostly phonetically, making it fairly easy to know how to pronounce an Italian word that you see written.
Most words are accented on the second-to-last syllable. Some words are accented on the final syllable, and an accent mark is written in that case. However, some words are accented on the third-to-last or fourth-to-last syllable, and no accent mark is written. You will get to know those words by listening to language CD's or tapes, or an instructor, and with practice.
