"It was musical love at first sight." ~Chris Martin talking about when he met Johnny Buckland Although this DVD doesn't contain any music by Coldplay, it is an insightful look at the band and how they made their way from playing in London pubs to playing on the stage of the world. Through short interviews with Chris Martin, you also get a sense of his higher mission and why there are more important things to worry about in the world, besides of course, buying ever album this band releases. His sense of humor and playful personality come across in his interviews and his admirable qualities include a sense of fairness. I was impressed by his idea to split the royalties equally amongst the band members. He not only promotes healing in the world, he is living his beliefs. He seems grateful for his life and you can see the fire of his soul radiating through his eyes. His soul is truly beautiful and I love the way he approaches life from a more poetic perspective. His lyrics have an emotive quality that do seem to be portraying his heart-felt concern for individuals and their struggles on the planet. As the story progresses various individuals in the music industry comment on how Coldplay developed their stage presence, how they had to deal with minor personality conflicts and then how their manager truly enabled their success through financial support. The main sections include: How it all Began First Gigs Let's Make a Record Get Signed Yellow Parachutes Breaking America A Rush of Blood to the Head The Future Bonus: Biography and Trivia Quiz - Questions about the bands original name and interesting facts about Chris Martin and how he was once a sign painter. The rise of any band to superstar status does seem to have common elements and if you are starting a band then this would be an excellent DVD to view for the chronological aspects alone, not to mention the realities of having to write hundreds of songs to find that one perfect song that connects with your audience. If you are a fan who is dying to know more about the members and their life stories, then this is an excellent introduction to the background and philosophy of Coldplay. The friendship factor is very evident in how Johnny Buckland and Chris play off each other intellectually, during the interviews. At times it seems like they are one mind as they engage in a humorous exchange. This DVD puts the bands rise to fame in perspective and is a great introduction to Coldplay's albums. The biography section is fairly short, however it gives enough information to get you interested in finding out more about each band member. ~The Rebecca Review

Learning any language can be a difficult task, learning any language in the quickest time possible, can be an even more difficult task. Rocket Italian can help you with methods that are not new, but proven to work very effectively.

There is no doubt that the best way to learn Italian quickly is full immersion, for example going to live in Italy, but obviously for many of us that's not an option. Another option could be to start to listen and talk Italian with family (if they are Italian) or friends, co-workers, etc. You could even find a study group or a Italian for English language exchange.

These methods will all help you in learning the Italian language quickly; however, I can understand that sometimes, in our busy lifestyles these methods can also prove to be less practical. Rocket Italian aims to provide you with the same environment. To immerse you in the language, by giving you audio and text to listen and learn, repeat and interact, to try to replicate immersion, so that you are part of the conversation.

Relatively, Italian may sound difficult at first, but really its is quite an easy language to learn, compared to English. This is due to the phonetics of the language, and the fact that the way you read, write and pronounce the letters and words is the actual way you would spell the words. Put simply, the way you read the word is the way you pronounce the word.

Another great reason why Italian could be a fun language to learn is that, really, we all already know, some form of Italian. Most of us already have heard or maybe even said the words "ciao" or "pasta", meaning hello/goodbye and pasta respectively. So adapting words that you already know can make it fun in learning Italian more comprehensively.

There are many reasons, why Italian is easy language to learn and can be learnt relatively quickly with dedication. It is a very flowing romantic language that also has many similarities to the English language, due to its Latin background, and the fact that words from the Latin language are used in both Italian and English.

So whether you're planning a holiday, going to study, or going to live in Italy, If you want to learn Italian by immersion, rather than just buying a book, I recommend one of the methods above, but if that's not practical, then start speaking Italian today with Rocket Italian here at http://www.second-language.org.
