This is a great book for an intro class in Italian. It is not a stand-alone text, but should be used in a frequently-meeting class setting to progess through the fundamentals of Italian. The text is well laid out with boxes, headings, tables, examples, etc., to help the student understand the different facets of the Italian language. The problems were straightforward and followed directly from the lesson text.
