This leading introductory Italian text features a balanced, flexible four-skills approach to communicative competency, cultural awareness, and language structures.
Overall great service. The only problem was with shipping. I paid for 1 day because I needed the book in a hurry for an exam, but it took longer than the approximate delivery date posted. They were kind enough to refund my shipping completely which was great. The book itself was in the condition stated so I was very pleased.
Many mistakes in the book. Incorrect and not clear lessons questions.
The lectures are not well organized. Not easy and not understandable questions or each lecture.
For beginners is not approachable book at all.
I will never recommenced this book.
Oggi in Italia was suppose to come with a CD and I DID NOT get that.
The book itself was fine but I was dissappointed in not getting what I thought I was ordering.
I always prefer classroom textbooks to a more casual phrasebook or language learning CD (usually geared toward the casual tourist). And in that regard, Oggi in Italia does not disappoint. I learn tons of vocabulary and grammer in an easy fashion. I highly recommend this book for any learner of Italian.
I'm currently using this book to learn Italian and I feel that some of the lessons come before the vocabulary. So, it's like you're expected to complete sentences with vocabulary that hasn't been introduced yet.
If I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't use this book.
