This book is bright and cheerful. It is loaded with pictures to capture the attention of the young person interested in Italian language. It's a fun book for the entire family. Full of photographs labeled in Italian and with a glossary that gives the English word, Italian word AND Italian pronunciation. For a children's book we were impressed with the details and tips on pronunciation. Our friend who speaks fluent Italian was so impressed, she purchased it for her American-born children.
Do you want to learn Italian? If you want to begin to master this beautiful language, then I suggest that you acquire this fun approach. This book is for kids, but anyone who is studying a new language needs graphics to see what the words are. This book is a perfect way to visualize Italian nouns ( persons, places, or things) in the home (kitchen,bathroom, bedroom living room stairs, etc.) in the yard, in the workshop and garage, on the street ( anything you can think of), in the toy store (OH, no!), in the park, at the zoo, at the airport, in the country, on the farm, at the ocean, in school ( a scuola) in the hospital ( il gesso e le grucce ), at a party (la festa), in the grocery store ( il negozio ), food to put on the table, parts of the body, clothes, occupations, family members (zio ?) then action words, opposites, story characters, pet favorites, weather ( il tempo ), seasons (le stagioni), sports ( il calcio), colors (verde e bianco), shapes and numbers, the circus, and an amusement park. This book also teaches the masculilne, feminine, plural, and singular form of nouns, aids pronunciation, and has a large list of other useful words. In addition, the picture words are indexed in the back of the book with a pronunciation guide for each book. A must for your Italian language library!
My daughter enjoys learning italian through this book! It is very colorful, funny and interactive. This is a great guide for my 2 year old daughter who is learning three languages.I also bought one for my niece and she is 5! Highly recommended.
I had the same book in French so I thought I'd get this so that I would have the same book. This book is useful because I wanted to learn more on stuff I haven't seen in my visual dictionaries. Thumbs up
Increase your Italian vocabulary with this picture book. The book will be most useful to adults and high school students who want to learn Italian nouns, even though it is a children's book. Each double-page illustration shows words related to a topic such as La cucina, Il laboratorio, and La campagna. Drawings of features such as a bridge, an owl, and a river are shown with the noun identified only in Italian. A word list at the end of the book shows each word, its pronunciation, and its translation.An internet link allows access to a program which has a person pronounce each word. The book's drawings also illustrate about four dozen verbs and four dozen adjectives.The book would be suitable for a parent to use with a child who is interested in Italian. Usborne publishes several other similar books. All allow an easy path to adding to descriptive Italian vocabulary.
This book is great! I teach Italian as a second language and I recommend it for all of my students. This book is not just for children, adults will delight in the beautiful imagery of this book. The best part about this language learning book is the internet link tool to reinforce the Italian language pronunciation at home.I love this book!
On the first page, "sapone" (soap) is spelt as "saone"; on the second page, "camera da letto" (bedroom) is spelt as "camera do letto" and "telefono" (telephone) is spelt as "telefone". No, I did not bother to check the third page and beyond. And they claim to have an Italian language consultatant (sic) for this book... I just wonder how long would its corrigendum get?
This is a great book! It's unfortunate that Usborne Books has decided to no longer publish this language learning book here in America. Shame, shame.Because I am an Usborne Consultant, I bought all remaining 29 copies and this is what's left. When they're gone, they'll be gone.The images are clear and fun and there's an internet link too! We are all visual learners so this book makes it easy to learn dozens of words specific to home, travel, classroom, etc.;also including numbers, careers, colors and lots of other words. Memorize the words in this book and you are officially fluent in Italian. To speak 500 words in any language is considered fluent---so go to it!
