Easy Italian Reader: A Three-Part Text for Beginning Students (Easy Reader Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Definitely not for your beginner. I learned with book with a teacher, and I found it very useful. Also I would read some of the stories on my own -- it was a good way to see the grammar in action while at the same time learning new words, etc.
I enjoyed using this book, and if I ever got the chance to teach, I would use it myself.
So my assessment.........
If you are an absolute beginner, you can buy the book. But I'd wait until you were a bit more knowledgable before using it.
Intermediate students -- go for it. I think you will get a lot out of the book.
Advanced students -- probably too easy.

Your First 100 Words in Italian : Italian for Total Beginners Through Puzzles and Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm planning a trip to Rome and this book did just what it said it would ; give me a basic vocabulary of 100 (mostly nouns) words. It didn't include numbers or colors nor were their any verbs. I used it along with Learn Italian in 10 Minutes a Day. I am thinking of using the format (flashcards and worksheets) to teach my Spanish Speaking students in Panama 100 words in English before they go into 7th grade.

The reasons are many: too fast a pace, an overwhelming amount of vocabulary, or problematic memorization. Your First 100 Words in Italian eliminates these obstacles by presenting the meanings and pronunciations of 100 basic words in a simple workbook format, each illustrated and transliterated so you can grasp the word without struggling.

Le avventure di Pinocchio (Italian Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book thinking it was an original version, and was surprised to see it was a very simplified edition. I've studied Italian for two years and this book was easy for me. The grammar starts out simply in the present tense and moves into past and future tenses as the book progresses. Each chapter (about 2 - 3 pages) starts with a few colloquial expressions used in the chapter and there is a fairly comprehensive dictionary in the back of the book, which saves time looking up unfamiliar words.
The reading style is about a 3rd grade level. The first chapters have very short simple sentences and the paragraphs become longer and grammatically more difficult as the chapters progress. This book seems targeted for someone with one year of study and going into their second year of study.
