When it comes to learning languages, textbooks and grammar exercises certainly have their place. But there’s something special about learning through stories. When you’re immersed in a good book, your mind naturally absorbs vocabulary and grammar patterns. Before you know it, you’ll remember new terms and phrase structures just by reading them in a story you can’t put down.

The grammar and vocabulary used in this book are suitable for all intermediate Italian language learners (A2, B1, B2 CEFR levels).

Piazzetta è fantastico per tanti motivi. Certo, è interessante imparare la cultura e le tradizioni italiane. Prima di leggere un articolo, chiudo gli occhi e ascolto l’audio. Quanto ho capito? Poi leggo il testo ad alta voce per la pronuncia e per esercitarmi. Poi verifico la mia comprensione con gli esercizi. E, cosa importante, torno a leggere le vecchie edizioni di Piazzetta per ripassarle. Che prezioso strumento di apprendimento!
