This book has proven to be a fine test of what I have learned so far while studying italiano using duolingo everyday for almost a year now. I know 85% of the contents of this book. What I do not like about the book is that every italian word is phonetically spelled out, which I think impedes the learner causes it creates a bit of a cheat.

Es como un libro de texto, pero mucho más entretenido. Te enseña de todo: pronunciación, vocabulario, conjugaciones, determinantes, pronombres, plurales, etc. Un poco desordenado, pero con muchos ejemplos. Una vez leído es cierto que se aprende bastante. Muy satisfecho.

Helpful to learn basics but don't expect to totally understand the language from this book alone.
