1.Italian (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) by: Lexus April 27, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £3.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.59 You Save: £0.40 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.56
I purchased this book for a recent trip to Italy and I couldn't have done without it. The menu reader was excellent as was the section on travel. Many Italians were just impressed I tried. Many of the words were also put into useful phrases and the more difficlt words were spelt out phonetically for ease of pronunciation. I would reccomend it for any trip around Italy.

I am currently doing a intermediate level of italian but find it always useful to remember the key verbs. I have used a lot of italian books in order to understand italian and this one explains and does what it says ''drills'' those verbs into your mind with a good set of exercises. A well organized easy to understand book perfect for beginners of Italian! I would seriously recommend it.

3.Easy Italian Reader: A Three-part Text for Beginners (Easy Reader Series) by: Riccarda Saggese December 01, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £3.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.13
I am enjoying this book and finding it very helpful, but think it would be pretty scary for a complete beginner to start with. Often the reader is required to give opposites of words which are not in the text being studied, and often there are words which need to be understood in order to answer the questions, but there is no translation given. I think this is frustrating for the reader. Surely the point of a graded reader is that the student doesn't have to keep reaching for a dictionary, thus breaking the flow of the reading and learning? I am managing by ignoring the words I don't know in order to keep the flow going, as I imagine I'll pick them up at some other stage along the way. Good for very confident post-beginners or pre-intermediates onwards.

4.Practice Makes Perfect: Italian Pronouns and Prepositions: Practice Makes Perfect by: Daniela Gobetti May 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.19 You Save: £2.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.50
Written in a sloppy and thoughtless style. E.g. On page 5 the learner is introduced to two sentences: 'Seals love to play' and 'Bats are mammals.' This is redolent of the infamous nineteenth-century travellers' guide which offered 'My postillion has been struck by lightning' as a useful phrase to memorise. It is also full of careless mistakes e.g. on page 8 we are taught that 'a sinistra' means 'on the right.' Pulp it!

This recently published handbook (2002) is an excellent guide to the Italian language (grammar and verbs), and it also fits into your pocket for portability and easy access. Some of the topics included are: Spelling, Nouns, Adjectives, Pronouns, etc. with sections on Counting and Measuring, Talking about time and places. Verbs are covered in two sections - regular verbs and a large list of irregular verbs at the end of the book. Examples are clearly marked in bold. An example from the section on Imperatives, the Italian and English are displayed as: la macchina! / your car! (The <..> are to show the bold words in the text. These characters do not appear themselves). Another example in the same section on Imperatives ... Read More:

7.Practice Makes Perfect: Italian Verb Tenses (Practice Makes Perfect Series) by: Paola Nanni-Tate July 04, 2006

In the absence of an immersion environment, a language learner is going to have to do so much more private study to become proficient in a language. This is why a book, such as this one, which offers plenty of drills and excercises to practice Italian grammar, is deemed to be necessary for a learner. While the idea seems a good one, the delivery of the material is less than acceptable. Firstly, this book requires an exhaustive knowledge of some relatively obscure vocabulary in order to complete the exercises. Also, unless you have an extensive knowledge of articles, prepositions, pronouns, word order etc, this means that you are going to get many questions inadvertantly wrong. The book simply does not explain these things - I know, I know, it's a book ... Read More:

8.Better Reading Italian: A Reader and Guide to Improving Your Understanding of Written Italian (Better Reading) by: Daniela Gobetti March 01, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £4.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
This is a compact, thorough book with plenty of reading material from a variety of styles, including contemporary writing, poetry, prose, newspapers, etc. Each chapter introduces the piece of reading and sets it in context, then there is a comprehension section, some grammatical and vocabulary-building exercises and help with idiomatic expressions. I would recomend this book to people having studied Italian up to A-level or who have lived in Italy a while, as the grammar can be a bit tricky. The only frustrating thing, is that not all the sections within each chapter are answered in the answer-section at the back of the book.

9.Italian Idioms (Barron's Idioms Series) by: Daniela Gobetti May 26, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £1.20 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.80
Come un principiante in Italiano, this book is an extremely useful reference containing around 2000 words and expressions including an index of common English idioms as well as an index in Italian. I'm just beginning to read Italian without a translation, so my copy gets lots of use. In my opinion, the authors have done a fantastic job. Two thumbs up as well for the clear plastic cover and the nice small size.
