Short Stories in Italian for Beginners: Read for pleasure at your level, expand your vocabulary and learn Italian the fun way! (Foreign Language Graded Reader Series) Paperback – 4 Oct. 2018

I'm a complete beginner this is a really good book to start reading because you don't know everything it gets the words and sentences in your brain quick and Swift all start it also the stories are quite fun and not too serious and they're not too long so you can read on the bus to train or even whilst in the loo

Excellent resource for language learners. Varied and engaging stories. Well thought out narratives designed to entertain and teach the language. Fun and educational.

Overall a really good aid for me, a beginner who has done some work previously (so working towards A2 on the language levels).First the negatives. The stories themselves are a little dumb and I'm sure that they could have been made stronger without loosing the energy or easy-read aspects. That's about it for negatives.On the positive, I've enjoyed reading and re-reading them. They're well organised and structured for a learner, just the right level to stretch and develop me but without putting me off or making me feel it was a chore. Nice short chapters and move along at pace.Initially i got the book, then I moved on and got it on Audible too. Initially i used the two independently and it was really useful having read the stories once to be able to work on my listening comprehension whilst travelling or just going for walk. Now i've moved on to listening and reading at the same time to improve my pronunciation.They have definitely helped broaden my vocabulary and to re-inforce some the learning I'm doing.Best seen as an additional resource, sometimes you don't want to study but do want to keep moving with your language learning. You can do some of that on the internet, but this is definitely a good extra way of keeping moving forward.Enjoyed it enough to buy the second in the series for Christmas !!!

Really enjoying the book very useful for language learning.

Nice sized paperback. Easy to understand instructions. The vocabulary is explained at the beginning of each chapter. Very informative. You learn alot.

It's good but for beginners? I don't know I opened it and didn't have a clue where to begin. I think that's just on me though, I need to know a lot more before trying this. I can see it's a good book I just have to be patient.

Easy to read with highlighted vocabulary- all in Italian apart from the introductory notes on how to us3 the book. I thought I had bought an intermediate level book, having already having an intermediate Spanish volume, but was surprised to find it was for beginners. However, it is still useful, though quite an easy read if you some knowledge of Italian.

This is what beginners in language learning need. Reading books like this help you in every way.To be used and read at your own pace. You slowly learn “word by word and sentence by sentence.”
