Summary: Daily Phrase but NOT Culture Calendar
Comment: I am a teacher of Italian and I bought this calendar with great enthusiasm having read the very tempting editorial review of this item. Unfortunately, I feel that the Calendar's virtues have been rather exaggerated. The "cultural and historical tidbits and fascinating facts [which] give learners the big picture" are limited to only 12 notes out of the 365 days in the year (predominantly biographies and some quotations from Dante's Divine Comedy)! Far from the "big picture" promised to the reader. In addition, a lot of the phrases, which are the main features of each page, seem plucked out of the blue as in "Steamed mussels" or "My ribs ache".
In short, I believe that the Calendar does not do justice to the rich culture of Italy nor to the Publisher who has produced so many engaging resources for learning foreign languages.

Summary: I love this thing.
Comment: I bought this for my best friend for christmas, we both want to learn Italian, and it's great!!!! I went to go buy one for myself, but they didn't have any left, so I got the french one.
Some of the phrases are useful, but some are very strange. "My sister is a student" or "I think about you alot"are some included. "You like to ingratiate yourself" was interesting to say the least. I love it and there are pronunciations for the important word to be learned, but not for the other words, so you kind of have to guess how to pronounce. But I love it and i want one for myself.
