An Easy Introduction
Do you really want to learn Italian? Do classes terrify you and other courses overwhelm you? Then this book is for you! This is an easy and friendly introduction to Italian. Presented in two parts, the first teaches you the basic language you will need, with lively dialogues, explanations and vocabulary. In the second you move on to practising what you have just learnt in a range of real-life situations.
Everything is explained in simple English; there are hints throughout to make learning Italian easy; what you learn is useful right from the start; there is lots of information about life in Italy; grammatical terms are avoided; you'll learn the grammar without noticing it; there's a special section on Italian sounds; all the words are listed in the back of the book. The accompanying compact discs, recorded by native Italian speakers, contain a pronunciation guide; dialogues from the book with key vocabulary highlighted; and new exercises in listening and speaking for each unit.
It is never difficult or boring, so you will be able to relax and enjoy your next trip to Italy!
