    I am thinking of buying this but it is costly. I don't mind spending the money if indeed it is any good? Has anyone successfully learned Italian using Rosetta Stone? I just want enough Italian to do the basics in Italy.

    Never used it but heard it is very good from a friend who did the Spanish course

    Yep it's very good.

    You do still have to put time and effort into tho.

    maybe combine rosetta with a language course

    When you say you just want to do the basics, I assume that means you are going on holiday and want to be able to book a hotel, order at a restaraunt and ask directions? If so I would recommend looking round youtube for some good free phrases, and also I must say that I am doing the Michel Thomas Arabic course at the moment in preparation for a trip to Egypt and in terms of covering the basics I find it excellent. Therefore have a try of his Italian course as it focusses entirely on speaking in important situations
