This textbook is used in many college Italian language classes, and the publisher has periodically revised it to keep it current. I like the basic material that is presented at the beginning, and the building block approach used in introducing new, advanced material as the chapters progress. The vignettes about Italian life, food, sports, etc., along with the photographs and drawings are interesting. The exercises follow nicely with the text, although I would prefer if the book would include the answers somewhere. Unless you are currently enrolled in a class or working with a private tutor and can have your answers checked, you don't know if you answered the questions/exercises correctly. This is also a comment on the student workbook, which has the same lack. However, I still highly recommend this book and the workbook. I purchased this because my college class uses this textbook. In a general search of other Italian language texts, I believe Prego stands above the others, for its material and the presentation of it.Read full review
Great condition! Surprisingly no writing inside. Much less expensive than my class offered it for,
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The seventh edition updates this high-quality college-level Italian language text with current usage trends and information about Italian culture. McGraw-Hill offers some free on-line resources. There are also supplementary materials (work book, lab manual, CDs) available for additional fees. A great book for anyone who is serious about learning the Italian language.
I bought this textbook as a requirement for my Italian 101 Class. I like how this textbook provides pictures that tie down with the learning process. It's kinda like the Rosetta Stone of Textbooks. The material is presented thoroughly and clearly. An audio track is also available to supplement the learning experience. 4/5 Stars.
I bought this book for to use at my language school, where they sold the book for almost 70% more. It is the best Italian textbook I have ever used.
