Good Afternoon:
I have enjoyed the Italian Grammar for Beginners Textbook. I tried to attend or take Italian a while ago to diversify my language repertoire but never had opportunity to understand in a better and efficient way Italian grammar. This book offered explicit examples and ways to easily learn new phrases, words and perfect pronunciation. Considering that English and Italian have different tense forms and most of the time you can’t make an exact correlation between these two languages. The grammar of this book shows you how to distinguish , in example present perfect and the simple past and many students find it hard to understand it when to use it.
I loved the idea of exercises and the end of each lesson, to help you remember and reinforce verbs, sentences and correct way to use words and vocabulary.
I liked this book, phrases and sentences are easy to learn. Also layout was really good to separate the reading and listening sessions.

The book is clearly laid out and works through Italian grammar with lots of examples. Some of them are quite complex at an early stage of learning. For example, (Potere) aiutarci ad apparecchiare la tavola? is in Lesson 5. Although you only have to conjugate the verb, I doubt if it is a sentence I am likely to come across unless I have not paid my hotel bill!
The biggest drawback is their failure to maintain the weblink with the audio files. They form a key part of the book and of learning the language. Without it this is just an expensive grammar book.
There are better tools available.

Michael Brajczewski: I bought the book to expand my Italian and my conversational Italian has grown through learning nouns, verbs, pronouns, and other parts of speech that make formulating sentences fun the more I read the book.

Patti M.: I found the lessons to be too vague and fast for my learning style. The audio downloads were ok for pronunciation purposes, but it was hard to keep up with if you wanted to read the paired English words along with it. The workbook lessons at the end of the chapter were too difficult so it didn’t help consolidate my knowledge from the chapter, and was discouraging, which is the opposite feeling of what you want when learning a new language! I was disappointed with this learning tool.
