Review
I actually do like this book very much. It is probably best to use this book though with another course, or at least, with a decent grammar supplement. I bought it to reinforce basic vocabulary and practice translation from L2 to L1. What I DO particularly like, and the reason that I have both books, is that the online audio available is EXCELLENT. Although MP3 files, it is a very clean, clear, feminine voice with the entire book's word lists and accompanying dialogs downloadable from their website.
I studied Italian in high school and college, but it has been a long while since I have practiced at all. When my daughter decided to take it at school, I started to look for a resource so that I could brush up and help her. I found the "First Italian Reader" and bought it to brush up on my Italian, and it really helped me remember a lot of my Italian and I learned some new words as well! What I didn't expect but is a huge bonus: it is also an excellent tool for my daughter. She was able to use this book to learn both words and phrases and it really helped prepare her for Italian I at school. She definitely had a head start on her classmates!
This is a superb method to learn Italian in parallel with any standard textbook. For each chapter, I listen to the high quality MP3 while reading the story in Italian. Then, I try to speak the Italian. Then, I read each sentence in English next to the same sentence in Italian. Finally, I read the English version and try to come up with the Italian words on my own.
At the beginning i didn't like the book, the dialogues seemed too simple and boring... but later, the stories become really funny and exciting :) plus now i understood that "boring dialogues" were really helpful in learning language patterns.
