"...covers a good variety of topics and grammar and is ideally suited for someone who's starting to learn Italian to use on holiday, but covers the grammar in enough detail to form a good base for future GCSE and A-level studies. "
Amazon reviewer (Contatti 1 Second Edition)
"This book was recommended by my tutor and actually it is really good for people who have never learnt Italian before. The structure of this book is clear and easy to follow."
