What Our Readers Say
"Finally, a brilliant book in Italian that covers the practical things you need when going on vacation or buying an apartment or house in Italy. The book consists of short dialogues that are easy to use, whether you’re buying ice cream or chatting with a neighbor. This book takes a completely different approach from textbooks or other easy-to-read Italian books. Truly a book to recommend if you love traveling to or living in Italy. By reading this, you’ll also gain plenty of cultural knowledge. Enjoy it, take it with you, and you’ll be much better prepared the next time you’re in Italy."
"I imagined a book that, while current, would still maintain the traditional canons of learning: a text with grammatical references and pronunciation guides. In reality, the predominant part of the publication consists of accompanying the protagonist, Anna, in her discovery of the house she will occupy in Italy and in the actions, contacts, and needs that such a vacation implies: all written exclusively in Italian. Only in a later and final part of the book do pages in English appear, dedicated to grammar, sentence structure, and common expressions. The intent of the text is commendable: it starts with Italian outright so that the effort and reflection in reading lead to defining its rules and extracting common and current language. It is such a new strategy for approaching language learning."
"I really like the difficulty level of this book, helped me make progress on my Italian from an early beginner stage. Stories are very relevant to real life. Easier to follow than apps."
