This impressive book presents a series of synoptic tables which gradually and accurately introduce the grammatical and lexical elements of the Italian language to beginners. Each chapter then develops the points that have been covered to an intermediate/advanced level. The CD contains audio material to complement the phonetic sections.

The text is aimed at beginner level students who would like a complete guide to grammar rules, vocabulary and sentence structures, as well as for those who wish to recap what they have learnt so far before further developing their knowledge with the "approfondimenti" sections. The tables are also a very good resource for teachers/future teachers as they offer a complete guide to the material needed to teach Italian.
