Customer Reviews

Description for the product described a textbook, however, what I received was a workbook.

I should have looked closer at the photo, because it did not match the description.

Great condition!

This book was delivered to me very fast, just in time for my quiz. The condition on the book is excellent and I really didn't have any problems with the delivery or the purchase itself. I'm very happy with it.

So cheap

I lucked out and received a used book that was in VERY good condition for very little money. Great for my 10 week class.

Great Intro to Italian Book!

I am currently using this book for my intro to Italian class in college. I did not have any background in Italian before and this book has been so helpful. It is very clear in its explanations and provides several examples for each grammatical point. The chapters are arranged logically and split up into smaller sections. Each section teaches only one grammar point, allowing you to master it before you move onto the next, and each section has exercises for you to practice with. The information is not overwhelming, laid out very carefully, and very easy to understand. My Italian professor is an ok teacher, but I was able to understand 99% of things by just looking at the book. I HIGHLY recommend Prego!, other language textbooks should take note of this format!

Prego! A fine introduction to the Italian language.

This workbook is filled with excercises that challenge the introductory Italian student without intimidating them. It provides a solid foundation in Italian grammar as well as presents modern terminologies one may not generally find in a textbook.

You Need This Book!

This book has proven the most helpful language book that I have ever used. The grammar is clearly presented and the text is interesting. Most importantly, it teaches italian as it is spoken in italy. Finally, there are numerous realistic and clearly helpful excercises at the end of each chapter. Yes, the price is high but I believe that one would need to use several other books in combination to achieve the level of this book. It will continue to help even advanced students of italian.
