Customer Rating: 

This is an excellent workbook for beginners. The lessons include activities that assist with developing communication skills and pronunciation of new vocabulary. New units include some review of previous lessons and are very helpful in building a foundation for Italian.

Great Workbook if you already have a good base of the language, at least I feel this way.

Customer Rating: 

Don't like the way the topics are presented. It's confusing and it doesn't have structure. Not recommending it for self learning and neither for teachers.

I am very pleased with this workbook! I already had an Italian For Dummies book w/ CDs, but it was hard to really remember what I learned because that book doesn't really have practice exercises. Now that I have this book I can internalize what I learn by writing things repeatedly and knowing the different words/phrases/spellings for different situations. In addition to the writing exercises, I also enjoy the crossword puzzles & the little illustrations that help you understand the concepts that you're learning. & I think that answering questions about the dialogues really help you remember how to speak to other people when you have to do it in real life. But the book doesn't only make you answer questions about the dialogues, it helps you remember polite vs. familiar ways of talking to people, vocab, etc. I'm only on Chapter 3 now, but I already really love this workbook. Now I feel that my self-learning of Italian will actually go more smoothly.

I agree with Amalfi Coast Girl. I travel to Italy at least once a year and am teaching myself italian via immersion, podcasts, textbooks and readers. This workbook keeps you active in the language no matter what level you are. I want Level 2 now. Amazon, get on it!
