Easy to read and work through. This book is ideal for building vocabulary in the Italian language one subject at a time. Highly recommended for college students and others who have a desire to increase their italian vocabulary by 500 commonly used words.
This is an excellent aid to development of Italian vocabulary. Although directed at children, it is useful for older students as well. The act of coloring in a figure while focusing on the word helps many people learn more easily.
Best way to learn vocabulary for any language. have this for Spanish, German and Italian. Think of the word while coloring the item. I scanned and printed it four times, coloring each set and keeping in a binder for review. I have just started on the Italian but I am certain the results will be the same. I also listen to Italian language CDs and online YouTube movies in Italian while coloring.
But not terrific either. This is not a very good book for children as it is very detailed, very cluttered (especially the city scene and the supermarket), and frankly very confusing.On the other hand... while there are certainly words in there that seem a bit silly to learn (I doubt birdbath is a commonly used word!), I would recommend it for college students who want to have a little fun while building vocabulary... It's easier than memorising a vocabulary list, and the words stick in your memory better after colouring a visual image.
I bought this for my 5 year old nephew in the hopes it would ignite an interest in learning Italian. My family is from Italy, and he is already familiar with some basic terms. It was one of many Christmas gifts, so of course, that day it got tossed to the side. I was delighted when my Mother told me that my nephew approached her and said, "Where's that Italian book that Zio got me?" She said they sat and learned words together and colored the pictures. This is a great book to review basic Italian vocabulary with children - being able to color and complete activities makes the book more enticing to open, again and again.
basically a coloring book, with small words in Italian. Don't expect more than that!! Good for parents to practice/learn words, but not for a small child to read on his own.
This coloring book is wonderful! The pictures are very nice and every object is labeled in Italian. Since the pictures are so detailed and complex it is meant to be colored by an older child.
great beginner book. The students were shocked at how easy Italian was since many already speak Spanish. What an eye opener.
