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.

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!

3.Easy Italian Reader: A Three-Part Text for Beginning Students: A Three-part Text for Beginning Students (Easy Reader Series) by: Riccarda Saggese December 01, 2005

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 ... Read More:

5.Italian Short Stories: Racconti Italiano (New Penguin Parallel Text Series): Italian from: Penguin September 30, 1999

This is a useful little book, well aimed at school-level students of written Italian. The stories are by well known names, some very famous (e.g. Primo Levi). As works of literature, they are not all particularly inspiring. However, if you have the stomach to read about the somewhat disgusting sex-lives of unclean peasants (as occurs in one story), then it is fine. A strong point is the notes about idiomatic usages, some of which are very useful, and indeed illuminating about life in modern Italy. I can confirm the accuracy of these notes. Recommendable, on the whole. Indeed, I hope that the author will continue, and give us further volumes.

I'm studying Italian at undergraduate level from scratch. I was struggling to keep up with what I was being taught and so I bought this book. It's really useful. Everything is clearly explained, there's lots of exercises to help you to practice what you have just learned and the answers to the exercises are in the back of the book. I'd recommend this book to anyone studying Italian academically or even if you just want to learn the language for fun.

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.
