ok

Some ok basic conversations for beginners, but definitely not captivating. I personally do not find the sentence in Italian, straight away followed by the english a good way to learn.

Having fun the Italian way!

This book proves that it is possible to really have fun while learning. In fact, not only the short stories are entertaining, but they also offer great content in terms of grammar and vocabulary choice. The listener is exposed to samples of everyday language, which will come in handy once you find yourself talking to people in real-life situations. The structure of the short stories is perfect for beginners level. It starts with shorter sentences repeated first in Italian and then in English and as it goes on the sentences get longer and more complicated so that you gradually improve your listening skills. The pronunciation is loud and clear and at adequate speed so that it is really easy to distinguish each word. There is a wide selection of different topics such as work, travel, holiday and daily life. This book is perfect to listen to some easy Italian conversation throughout the day without having to make time to take a class. Highly recommended!
