My godmother, Dobby, brought me this book from Italy. It makes it easy and enjoyable to learn Italian. Arrivederci!

I thought about not including this on my list of books read, because it is a kind of text book bought specifically for my NSSEB partner. It wasn't on her wishlist but a couple of other learn Italian type books were and this one struck me as straightforward and rather fun. As a result, I couldn't resist reading through the cartoon strips when I got home. There were one or two words thaat hadn't quite made it to my active vocabulary: criceti may not be that uncommon in language books aimed at children, but to find uno fantasma in one this brief was a surprise. So I have read it, was impressed by the clarity and brevity and will probably add the German one to my own wishlist when I remember.
