Trade Review
"This textbook covers a good variety of topics and grammar and is ideally suited for someone who's starting to learn Italian to use on holiday, but covers the grammar in enough detail to form a good base for future GCSE and A-level studies." * Amazon reviewer (Contatti 1 Second Edition) *
I have just started a part-time Italian course. This is the course book and is one of the best I have come across in my many attempts to master Italian. It is straight forward, easy to follow and seems to incorporate the grammar in a very easy way to take on board. * Amazon reviewer (Contatti 1 Second Edition) *
