(the one in 3 volumes A1-A2-B1 and the one in compact edition A1-A2 / B1), leading the students up to an advaced level of Italian.

  • 10 units divided in the following sections: Italian to smile: songs, games, and everyday expression introduce the theme of unity, allowing you to get to the heart of Italian language in a natural and surprising way; Italian among the texts: an authentic text (story, article, poem …) to allow to work on the real language and on the different type of writing, both from the narrative point of view and from the didactic point of view; Italian to speak: an authentic dialogue (taken from a film for example) helps you to enter into the mechanisms of speech, bringing the student to a profound awareness of true, everyday Italian; Italian between uses and structures: re-elaborates and harmonizes what has been learned in the unit, focusing on grammatical, lexical and structural points proposed.
