Parliamo italiano! A Communicative Approach

This text is an unbound, three hole punched version. Access to WileyPLUS sold separately.

Parliamo italiano!, Binder Ready Version, Edition 5 continues to offer a communicative, culture based approach for beginning students of Italian.  Not only does Parliamo Italiano provide students learning Italian with a strong ground in the four ACTFL skills:   reading, writing, speaking, and listening, but it also emphasizes cultural fluency. The text follows a more visual approach by integrating maps, photos, regalia, and cultural notes that offer a vibrant image of Italy. The chapters are organized around functions and activities. Cultural information has been updated to make the material more relevant. In addition, discussions on functional communications give readers early success in the language and encourage them to use it in practical situations.
