Feb 28, 2021 Sylvia rated it it was amazing

I really enjoyed using this book to learn Italian! Although it did have quite a few typos, after completing all 47 chapters over the course of over 2 years I would say I'm about a B1 level in the CEFR system. It is a great, well-rounded Italian workbook and I especially enjoyed the readings. 5 stars!

My companion for self-learning Italian.
It takes 2 nights (30 minutes each night) for me for each lesson. There are a total of 47 lessons. So expects at least 3 months to finish.
As advertised, it doesn't supply nonsense knowledge but only provides you with the essentials: vocabulary, reading, grammar, chatting. For each session, there are some exercises to train yourself. It doesn't have listening exercises. Vocabulary is too dry to learn. Having no real teacher, I don't touch the chatting sectio My companion for self-learning Italian.

It doesn't have listening exercises. Vocabulary is too dry to learn. Having no real teacher, I don't touch the chatting section at all. Luckily I'm currently living in Italy, so instead, I use all the chance to talk in real-life situations a lot.

In conclusion, it provided me with a guideline, a habit to do every day. I don't rely only on this but I have to supply myself with many immersion resources like Youtube videos and short Italian stories.

P.S: It is expected to pass A2 after finishing this book. But you have to review the grammar a lot and train more on listening and speaking exercises.

No, I can't do this right now. I don't know why but I started a freaking literature course - when I already had a billion things to read; oh yeah, I thought it would be fun but books, deadlines and my attention span? WAKE UP - and I really want to finish it but I can't as long as I see this book on my currently-reading shelf. My mind is not in the right place to absorb another language for now. Maybe in a couple of weeks, reading just this one.
