Very good, but... - By: C. Caffoor, 03 Oct 2007
I am enjoying this book & finding it very helpful, but think it would be pretty scary for a complete beginner to start with. Often the reader is required to give opposites of words which are not in the text being studied, & often there are words which need to be understood in order to answer the questions, but there is no translation given. I think this is frustrating for the reader. Surely the point of a graded reader is that the student doesn't have to keep reaching for a dictionary, thus breaking the flow of the reading & learning? I am managing by ignoring the words I don't know in order to keep the flow going, as I imagine I'll pick them up at some other stage along the way. Good for very confident post-beginners or pre-intermediates onwards.
italiano comprehension - By: C. Adler, 31 Aug 2007
This book is brilliant! I have just completed entry level business italian & my italian is so basic it is almost non-existent. I actuallly understood most of the first three exercises immediately. I would recommend keeping a dictionary by your side.
