Customer Reviews

Practical, compact and great for beginners

Let's face it, grammar is hard enough in your native language. It's even harder in a foreign language-you don't need a thick complicated book covering every nuance of the language when you're staring out. This teach yourself book is well organized and not overwhelming like many other grammar books I've tried.Each chapter is a few pages long and covers a couple related grammar concepts. The topics are very practical for everyday situations. The topics get more difficult as you progress through the book.I've taken this book to Italy twice now and use it in conjunction with a dictionary and the Pimsleur audio course. It's great for travel because it's compact and easy to find the derivations of words you hear people use.

Practical Italian grammar

This book has a knack for explaining tricky points of grammar succinctly in simple, easier-to-understand terms than most Italian grammar books. It also throws you the lifeline of some pretty decent examples of how words are used in a grammatical context. This book I depend on daily. Grazie per questo libro.
