## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good practice but some of it is written in dialects
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020*

This is a good book for some practice, but be aware some of the stories are obviously written in dialects, which is not modern Italian. The way I have been using the book is when I come across a word I do not know, I search online for the translation rather than use the books translation to add to my learning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Relatively modern Italian with literary conjugations
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020*

It was a gift for friend who had just finished level 10 of Duo Lingo; she loved it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great format for Italian study
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015*

This is a great format for my study of Italian -- I can read real, serious examples of the language at its best, and check over when I'm unfamiliar with a word or phrase (which is all the time). I'm copying some of the stories out by hand to get the language really in my head. I like this format and hope they come out with more of them -- Calvino's novels would be terrific to read this way.
