Recenzijas

'Together with its companion website, this new edition of Soluzioni constitutes a useful resource for learners at different levels of proficiency. It can function as a reference book, thanks to its detailed and comprehensive presentation of Italian grammar (including an analytical index of forms and topics at the end of the volume). At the same time, the presence of practical exercises (with keys) and explanations of grammatical terms make it suitable for both class use and independent study.' - Dr Alessandro Carlucci, Faculty of Medieval & Modern Languages, University of Oxford, UK



Praise for second edition:



'Comprehensive but not daunting, clearly laid out in table form followed by exercises, this a very helpful tool for those adult learners, specialists and non-specialists, who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding of the language than is possible by simply following a textbook.' - Dr Elisabetta Tarantino, formerly at Department of Italian, University of Warwick, UK



Praise for third edition:



'It is a superb book. I have worked with the 2nd Edition of Soluzioni in the past with great pleasure. The comments in the right-hand column are frankly a delight. It is as if one has one's own private tutor reaching out a helping hand. The format of this new 3rd Edition is much more learner friendly.' - Althea Peterson, retired college Spanish instructor and student of French and Italian
