Learn English

This book is very helpful for who wants to know the difference between Italian and English grammar.

Italian Hardware Fully Assembled

This grammar review would seem best suited for those with a working knowledge of Italian, but who have not tackled the hard grammar(of which Italian has plenty). For those, it is a fine work, clear, not deadening, comprehensive, well-organized, and with at least a trace of humor. If you master this book and acquire some vocabulary you will know Italian. For those who can carry on a conversation in Italian and think they know the language pretty well it can be an eye-opener--but in the end a most rewarding one. Might be a little daunting for those with no knowledge of the language at all.

Grammatica

This is an excellent book. Un buon libro! Mi piace molto. It is very helpful.

A must for anyone who wants to master the Italian language.

A complete overview of grammatical terms, parts of speech, and how they work together. Studying the grammar of a foreign language is often perceived as torture by many, but there is no way to avoid grammar. To master any language one must know how its parts work together. This book takes away the torture out of studying grammar, by providing a user-friendly practice and review manual. The complete book is written in a "conversational style", so is friendly enough to be used as a self-study guide. The book is divided in twenty chapters that cover everything from the structure of simple sentences to writing e-mails. At the end of each chapter there is a "culture capsule" completely written in Italian with a glossary, which is designed to give information on a major component of Italian culture and civilization. This capsules can be consider at least useful reading material, but in fact they give information of which no intermediate or advanced learner should be unaware. At the back of the book is a list of the most frequently used words in the Italian language, verbs charts and the answers to all the exercises. Absolutely a must for anyone who wants to master the Italian language.
