Mastering Italian: Book and 12 Cassettes (Mastering Series: Level 1)

This is the same course developed by the Foreign Service Language Institute to train diplomats and other government personnel to be fluent in foreign languages. An in-depth course for students intent on complete competency in speaking, understanding, reading and writing Italian, this program stresses development of conversational skill, vocabulary, pronunciation and mastery of grammar. The twelve cassettes emphasize the use of the spoken language through intensive drills, and the book uses written exercises to help students master grammar and the written language. An ideal tool for language labs.
