A rare find in foreign language grammar books! Instead of rehashing the same material and glossing over exceptions or easily made errors, this book condenses the basics and focuses on the tricky stuff that more intermediate and advanced students cover. I appreciated the attention to detail and the author's keen sense of what the reader really needs to know.

A workbook for anyone studying the Italian language. It contains grammar exercises for all parts of speech and verb tenses. There is an answer key at the end of the book. There is nothing to help with pronouncing the words and phrases.
