Parliamo Italiano! (2nd ed)

A culture-based introduction to Italian, the second Edition of Parliamo Italiano!

Instills five core language skills by pairing cultural themes with essential grammar points and organizing units according to situations, functions, and regions of Italy.

As an active part of the learning process, students use culture-the geography, traditions, and history of Italy-to understand and master the language.

New! In each unit, a new Incontro takes the form of an email, interview, diary interview, diary entry, or a combination of realia and conversation.

New! The immagina e parole, or capstone, contains a cultural reading related to the theme and region of Italy discussed in each unit.

Odd-numbered units feature an authentic reading, and even-numbered until include writing strategies and instructional guidance.

New! At the end of every unit, a list of active vocabulary as a reference and review tool.

The 60-minute video features stunning on-location footage of various cities and regions throughout Italy such as Firenze, Sardegna, Genova.
