Reviews of Collins Language Revolution: Beginner
I am astonished and proud to say that I feel I have a good grasp of Italian and can speak comfortably on everyday subjects. I find that the vocabulary I'm looking for seems to pop up in my head rather than deliberately absent itself as it has done in the past. The Times, Body & Soul
This is a great, fun way to learn. What makes it different is the interactive side; there is more to do and more of an opportunity to use creativity. I'll definitely use Mind Maps in future for learning any other languages I decide to study. The Times, Body & Soul
This really does do what it says on the box. It teaches you French that you really remember. Forget all these other courses, go for this one! I couldn't recommend it more. Amazon reviewer
