well-organized text book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
At the moment I'm using this textbook in an intermediate Italian course. So far I've found the arrangement of the book helpful. The book is arranged thematically, with chapters like "The House," "Italian Regions," "Work," and so on.Grammatical points are introduced in small reading passages, and afterwards expounded upon with more detail. Bold type indicates these newly-introduced grammatical points. The end of the chapters have readings taken from "real" Italian sources, like websites and newspapers. My instructor seems to find fault with certain outdated forms contained in the book, like the formal "Lei" and "Loro."
Good accompaniment for the textbook!

This lab manual is a great accompaniment for the textbook "Ciao"! I found that the exercises are very helpful. They emphasise the grammatical points made in the textbook very well. The only problem with it is that if you use it to teach yourself, and are not in a classroom situation, you can only do half of the exersises, as no tape or CD is included for the laboratory half of the book. I think it is still worth buying, inspite of this flaw!
What a help!

This workbook as tremendously helpful in supplementing the work from the textbook and classroom exercises. It brought together all the activities and lessons as an additional reinforcement. I would definitely recommend purchasing this workbook/lab manual.
