'Teach Yourself Italian' is the course for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Italian with confidence. Although aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing knowledge or refresh rusty language skills for a holiday or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 25 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to using the phone and talking about work. The course covers all structures required for GCSE level and beyond. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. This edition retains the tried-and-tested structure of the lessons but has been updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro. New features include an English-Italian vocabulary to go alongside the existing Italian-English vocabulary and four tests for learners to check their progress. Contents - learn to speak, understand and wite italian; progress quickly beyond the basics; explore the language in depth. Includes two 60-minutes CDs.
