Is anyone's dc learning Italian as a foreign language?

[ZZZen]

Dd is hell bent on learning Italian and I have decided to finally give in (where's that lazy mum emoticon?). Just wondering if anyone can recommend any good books/learning material?

I have ordered something from Amazon called "Italian for Children", just quite basic I think to get started with tapes and game activities.

The Usborne language books are very good, think they do an Italian one.

Thanks don't think I know those, I've only seen the picture dictionaries but I found them a bit overloaded for a total beginner. Perhaps they'd be helpful after a year or so. I'll have a google and see what comes up under Usborne.

this is it Hope it helps!

Thanks Teeny, I hadn't come across those books yet. They look quite good. I always like those books on amazon with the "look inside" facility.

This is the one I have ordered which comes with 2 cds and looks more basic than the Usborne one.www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071407731/ref=sib_rdr_dp

Seems to be little activities to do based on what is in the CD, lots of songs. The Usborne one looks more structured and would probably be a good follow book. Thanks for the tip!

wondering now if the one I ordered is perhaps too basic....
