desertcart.com: Italian Short Stories for Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories to Learn Italian & Grow Your Vocabulary the Fun Way! (Easy Italian Stories): 9781790261024: Lingo Mastery: Books

Review: Excellent, well-structured book for learning Italian! Also, not boring. :-) - I LOVE this well-designed teaching tool with its engaging vignettes & useful vocabulary from everyday Italian life. Each story reinforces vocabulary and Italian cultural tidbits from previous stories, while adding new words and scenarios for you to savor and enjoy. Many word meanings are given with each story; but I, even as a beginner, could figure out many of the unlisted words too. That's how well these stories are crafted to aid learning! The author(s) chose each story's theme and vocabulary to boost, not to overwhelm, the beginning student of Italian. Now I seek an Audio version of this gem of a study-book to give me the correct pronunciations, as well as to practice listening to & repeating what the native Italian-speaker is reading to me. I highly recommend this Italian "reader"! You will learn useful and interesting things of Italian language and life in each chapter.
Review: Cute little stories - You definitely learn and progress in your Italian from these short stories, especially if you combine them with the audio version available. Beware though that this is definitely not beginner lever, rather intermediate. I'd say upper A2 or B1 even.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Beginner's Reader
*by M***L on February 23, 2021*

I picked up Italian during the pandemic. After three and a half months of intensive, daily self-study with grammar and exercise books, I was at a level where I was able to read this book fairly easily. This book has 20 stories, all three-pages long with pretty large text. The final story is only two pages long and seems almost like a draft that didn't quite make a deadline, but no matter. The story is followed by a paragraph synopsis with English translation below, and a glossary of words bold-printed in the story. Then there is a short multiple choice questionnaire with answer key. What is in the vocabulary section can sometimes seem arbitrary, the definitions sometimes poor, and there are a lot of editing mistakes in the book, and one of the answer keys is just flat off. But these didn't really detract from my experience, personally. I set a modest goal of one story a day, and was able to do that with ease. It was a huge boost of confidence, an incredible way to learn vocabulary and grammar by coming across the words in the wild, so to speak, rather than in exercise books and flash cards. The stories range from the imaginative (one is told from the point of view of discarded socks) to the mundane (eg a student looking for a flat), but each has enough to keep your interest for its brief duration. There is a second volume of this, and an Intermediate volume as well, for continued reading practice. While half way through the book, I was confident enough to start into some children's books (Il piccolo principe, Roald Dahl), fairy tales (Calvino), and Italian comics. But I have purchased the other books and am interested enough to go through them. Highly recommended!
