german girl arrives in italy.girl meets cat.girl talks to cat.girl meets boy.girl falls in love with boy after spending one day with him.girl finds gun in boy’s car.girl gaslights herself into believing that every italian owns a gun.girl falls into a deep state of depression because of boy.girl still talks to cat.girl finds out boy is a cop not somebody from the mafia.girl is happy.book finally ends.
Cringe. Insufferable characters with no depth (understandable,considering this book is only 38 pages long). I think that Karen has set back feminism for about 100 years. She’s very considering but i think that she’s only doing this because she wants to find an Italian lover. Claudio is as interesting as a fly on a pile of poo, so i don’t get her pick-me energy towards him. The book would have been better if he had been part of the mafia, because the only thing that justifies this cringe love story would be adding another cringe cliché about Italians.
However to end this review on a positive note, it’s the very first book that i read in Italian, which means that this holds a very special place in my heart. Probably a space very deep and hidden from the outside, but still a place in my heart.

Mi piace molto! Questo libro è abbastanza facile e la pena di leggere per migliorare l'italiano.
A normal dialogue:
- Would you like a cup of coffee?
- Yes, I'd like a cappuccino.
A dialogue in Italy:
- Ragazze, volete il caffè?
- Io sì. Tu Karen?
- No, io preferisco un cappuccino.
(Также там была сцена, где итальянцы, как всегда, были "в ужасе" от того, как турист делает что-то "неправильно", а именно пьет капучино вечером, а не как итальянцы, т.е. на завтрак. Честно, меня раздражает такой снобизм).
I liked that the book has pictures representing the meaning of new words (instead of descriptions). Also the audio for the book is great. It's narrated by different people and a cat.

As advertised, Level 1 and the vocabulary was limited to 500 words, so it was a breezy read. Tourist information on Rome is nicely woven into the tale, along with some gun and mafia intrigue to keep things interesting. Short and sweet. Brava, Signora Blasi.

Yes I’m putting this on goodreads 💀 this was actually quite easy to read, im surprised seeing as ive put 0 effort in studying Italian so far 🤡 interesting story, expected the ending to be a bit more exciting, but what can you do. Also, why the insta love 😭😭

Obviamente es una tontería de libro para aprender italiano pero es probablemente lo que más he disfrutado leyendo este año..! Obligatorio escuchar el audiolibro, es un circo con mayúsculas… esos giros de trama no se ven en cualquier lado.

La storia è abbastanza semplice e anche il lessico.

es un muy buen libro para empezar a aprender italiano, con un lenguaje bastante sencillo y con actividades en cada capítulo. las respuestas salen al final de el libro y eso me parece genial. creo que he aprendido bastante y me gusta la manera en que, en pocas páginas, pasan tantas cosas. 5/5 ⭐️

This is a great book for people that are learning Italian ( beginners level).

Kniha je psána velmi hezky, pro začátečníky ideální, ale ta zápletka je jak z telenovely. Ale oceňuji, jak se díky příběhu čtenář seznámí s nejprovařenějšími římskými památkami.

Not bad. It’s very easy to read for me, who have been studying Italian for two months. But I think that something doesn’t make sense.

Lekker luchtig boekje voor beginners Italiaans over een reis naar Rome, waar Karin uit Duitsland een leuke Italiaanse jongen ontmoet. Die heel wat te verbergen heeft...
