Practice Makes Perfect: Italian Pronouns and Prepositions (Practice Makes Perfect (McGraw-Hill)) Review

Practice Makes Perfect: Italian Pronouns and Prepositions (Practice Makes Perfect (McGraw-Hill))
Average Reviews:

The subject matter is tedious to begin with so you can't fault the writer for that. I found this book very difficult to get through and I am not sure why. I felt that many of the grammatical and usage explanations were incomplete. I think there are numerous errors and inconsistencies in the answer key. I found the chronic use of the progressive tense annoying and more frequent than contemporary Italian usage. This book has excellent word lists and great appendices. When I finally finished, I pulled those pages out of the book, punched holes in them and added them to my Italian grammar notebook. If you actually write the exercises in the book, it will be a mess when you're done. If you plan on reusing this one, do the exercises on a separate piece of paper. You may need a dictionary to complete the exercises.

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

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.
