Improve your Italian - Sylvia Lymbery

"Teach Yourself Improve your Italian" is the ideal way to extend your language skills if you already have some knowledge of Italian. Whether you've completed "Teach Yourself Italian" or any other beginners' Italian course, either by yourself or at evening class, this course should build on your existing knowledge and improve your spoken and written language. The book covers a wide range of topics of the sort you will want to talk about when in Italy and teaches you the kind of everyday language and features of speech that will enable you to communicate with confidence and feel comfortable taking part in conversation with native speakers of Italian. The choice of material aims to give you something of the flavour of Italy today and each unit is based around a single theme with lively interviews and conversations on the accompanying recording. The units are divided up into sessions manageable chunks that will help you to organize your learning and there are tips on language learning throughout. There are activities based on the interviews and texts to help you remember what you've learnt and put your knowledge into practice.
