Pioneers in dictionary publishing since 1819
very helpful book!In January I purchased "Collins Easy Learning
Italian Conversation" as my husband and I had a trip to Italy
planned for April. We have just returned from our travels, and I
wish to let you know that what I learned from this book was very
helpful. The subjects covered in the lessons were useful and
practical, (greetings, transportation and getting around, meals,
shopping, health concerns, various problem situations etc). Also,
the information pertaining to grammar provided a good foundation
for understanding "the workings" of the language and allowed me to
communicate more effectively than if I had simply been reciting key
tourist phrases. From studying your book, I was very pleased with
how much I was able to speak and understand spoken Italian, and
with what I was able to read as well. I will add that I speak
French, so having this background was very helpful for learning
Italian.
I also found the "Lifestyle Tips" at the end of each chapter to be
very relevant and informative. On a number of occasions we came
across lifestyle/cultural practices which were exactly as had been
described in the book, and it was great to have been familiarized
with them beforehand. Thank-you for putting together a most useful,
current and easy to use basic guide to Italian. "Collins Easy
Learning Italian Conversation" was definitely an asset during our
visit to Italy. Willow Edwards
