Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The materials are interesting, pertinent, and relevant. The cultural topics address many of the issues that are arising in the 21st century. The issue of immigration is an important, and one that will affect future demographics of Italy in many and different ways."
"I welcome enthusiastically the new Vivere in Italia and A voi la parola sections. It's wonderful to have culture presented conveniently, in passages whose length won't scare off the students."
"the order in which the various components of the chapters are presented is effective… the approach is cultural, and not grammatical, and that works!"
"I find everything in the chapter very interesting, the format the presentation of the material, the topic, the presentation of grammar and the conversational aspects. I certainly would use it for my classes." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent grammar book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Da Capo (Text/Tape Package) (Paperback)
I bought this a few years ago for an evening class. The class wasn't too good, but I worked my way through the book and found it excellent. The explanations are clear and straightforward, the vocabulary is useful, and you can actually learn a lot about how to use the subjunctive and the conditional. It also has useful information about troublesome cognates and word usage. I would recommend this quite highly for anyone trying to learn Italian. It's a review grammar so in theory you should already know a little Italian, but if you have some knowledge of French, Spanish or Latin, or if you just have a positive attitude, you should have no problems with this book.

Mi piace bene!,

This review is from: Da Capo (Text/Tape Package) (Paperback)
Having started Advanced Italian lessons, I find Da Capo an excellent review of the grammar structure and a good vocabulary enhancer for those who have had a comprehensive overview of Italian through beginning and intermediate classes. It starts off at a steady pace that allows students to review rules and those pesky exceptions. It maintains a good level of interest, espcially important since it main task is to review previously learned materials. Although I find the book a bit pricey, especially for a paperback, it is a great way to master previously studied material and bridge the gap from familiarity to fluency in the Italian Language. Bravo!

Great content, unfortunate binding,
By
This review is from: Da capo, Sixth Edition (with Text Audio CD) (Paperback)
I used the softcover version of this text in a class a few years ago, and it's great. It's truly unfortunate that the publisher has decided to upsell the book my reintroducing in hardcover format. I wish I could recommend something better, but I can't. My advice is to find a gently used copy for the softcover edition.
