Have you ever wanted to learn a little Italian?  Well now's your chance!  Bruce Thomas sent over this neat package containing a full set of 10 courses along with documentation!  Here's a snippet from the manual:

The course consists of 10 sections, covering a number of topics, such as furniture, colours, clothes, family, garden, time, restaurant, food, numbers, business, travelling, car, beach, places and people, emergency and useful words, days of week, months of year. The course starts with a number of animal words.

The Gruneberg Linkword Language System is a system for teaching foreign languages which is much faster, easier and more enjoyable than normal methods of language teaching. In ten hours you will learn a vocabulary of about 400 words and a basic grammar. This will help you to understand and to be understood should you travel to an Italian speaking country or talk to a native Italian speaker. Of course there will he gaps in your vocabulary and your knowledge of grammar, but you will be surprised at how quickly and easily you learn the basics of Italian.

One of the ways in which the system works is to use visual images. An English word is linked by means of a visual image, to another English word which sounds like the Italian word. For example The Italian for cat is gatto Imagine a cat eating a large gateau You imagine this picture in your mind's eve as vividly as you can. When you are given the word ‘gatto’ you will immediately think of a cat eating a large gateau and will remember that the Italian for cat is gatto.

Thanks for sharing Bruce!
