Some of our teachers use this book when teaching Italian and find that it works very well. It teaches grammar almost painlessly while teaching how to communicate effectively.

This textbook with accompanying CD is VERY EASY to follow, giving many excellent real-life experiential samplings for converational Italian, along with the all-important grammar, vocabulary, etc. I am enjoying it as an accompaniment to the Converational Italian class I'm currenty taking at university. Ciao, amici! See you in Italia...:)
Excellent for Beginning Italian

I used this book after it was required both for first and second semester Italian at UC Berkeley. The appraoches to grammar and vocabulary are ecxellent. Important grammatical points are highlighted and are easy to find when needed to refer back to. As a student planning to study abroad in Italy next year I highly recommend this university level textbook.
