As a complete work in and of itself, this book makes learning Italian grammar really come alive! Review for Conversational Italian for Travelers - book and website. - January 2017 A methodology created by a student of Italian, as she herself learns. But, this student is not only passionate about learning Italian, she is a scientist - a truly unique combination! Kathryn Occhipinti has created this book and the many fabulous add-ons to the series, in a truly comprehensive and practical format. Working her way through the language, building bit by bit, she is always mindful of the conversational, and idiomatic way that Italians think, and speak. Grammar is explained as needed - and comprehensively: an important solid base on which to build. I heartily recommend this to students and travellers - and certainly to my own guests, some of whom are travelling to Italy for the first time. Although most are already studying Italian, they are not so well equipped when it comes to day to day speaking. Their practical knowledge of useful phraseology is often lacking, but this is what they need the most to enjoy their holiday.

And here they are, all laid out clearly, with one topic per page, easy to read explanations, like a friend was talking to me, and real-life examples. And tables that make it so easy to remember the rules visually and are easy to find when I leaf through the book. I'd even buy the book just for the many color photos from all over Italy which make a nice travel album. -John Bezirganian Learn Italian as I did, with my Conversational Italian for Travelers series of books!
