Reviews for Contatti 1 Italian Beginner´s Course 3rd Edition: Coursebook

I have just started a part-time Italian course. This is the course book and is one of the best I have come across in my many attempts to master Italian. It is straight forward, easy to follow and seems to incorporate the grammar in a very easy way to take on board.
