An enjoyful and encouraging system to learn Italian

This is a proper book to make a quick, but adequate introduction to Italian, so that you can survive in Italy till you improve with more sofisticated language trainings. It includes all the basic grammar, it gives exercises so that you can practise, but they are not a lot, hence you may proceed fast.Besides grammar in each chapter it gives a different batch of words related to a useful subject( health, kitchen etc.). There is a sufficient vocabulary at the end.It uses an encouraging and motivating language. It is a good book for those who need to reach to a specific level in a short time.

Molto buono, eccellente, very good, excellent

Molto buono, eccellente, see reading this book has already made me learn a few workds in Italain. That is how good I think it is. I have never been that good at learning new languages before, but this book is so interesting and easy to understand I am learning new sentences and words every day. I can even converse with Italian speaking people now. I love my copy of this book, I am so happy that I finally found a book to help me to learn to speak Italian. You will like it if you get it.
