About this title

Review:

"I find everything in the chapter very interesting, the format the presentation of the material, the topic, the presentation of grammar and the conversational aspects. I certainly would use it for my classes." "The materials are interesting, pertinent, and relevant. The cultural topics address many of the issues that are arising in the 21st century. The issue of immigration is an important, and one that will affect future demographics of Italy in many and different ways." "I welcome enthusiastically the new Vivere in Italia and A voi la parola sections. It's wonderful to have culture presented conveniently, in passages whose length won't scare off the students." "the order in which the various components of the chapters are presented is effective the approach is cultural, and not grammatical, and that works!"
