desertcart.com: Short Stories in Italian for Intermediate Learners: 9781529361445: Richards, Olly: Books

Review: Very helpful, a much more fun way to learn Italian! - I had already read the authors other two books of Italian short stories for beginners and listened to the corresponding audiobooks, so when this book was released, I bought it right away. These stories are definitely more challenging, as they use more sophisticated vocabulary and there is much more frequent use of the remote past tense. I read the whole book on plane home from the Virgin Islands, about five hours, interrupted periodically by the beverage services and a chatty child sitting next to me. I would guess that's the level is about B1-B2. There are more adult themes than in the prior two books, not that the book deserves any sort of a parental advisory, but there is action, violence, relationship struggles, and stalkers. The introduction explains how these books are to be read, a simple six step process to promote maximal comprehension and absorption of the language. I plan to go back and re-read these stories a few times in order to get the most of this book, but with the exception of two chapters near the end of the book where I had to do a little re-reading because I didn't quite grasp the beginning of a story. However, the first two books had so improved my reading in Italian that I found these intermediate stories to be at just the right level, the chapters in short, digestible chunks, and the vocabulary useful to me at this point in my learning. I hope a set of advanced stories comes out next, I would eagerly buy such a product!
Review: Fun reading, different genres in one book. Best way to learn language. - It's my third book by Olly Richards, I read also Italian gor beginners 1 and 2. That's the most fun I had learning Italian. My level is not enough to read Italian books, but the adapted stories of my level are very boring. This book is both fun and adapted to my level. The quality of stories is good , it's proofread very well (have to emphasize this because i've bought similar book by another author and threw it into trash after 3 pages, such bad was the quality of writing). Totally loved this book and would recommend to those who start learning Italian! The stories are all different and interedting, with unexpected twists so it is interesting to read, and the method when you just read it like in your own language without checking each word in the dictionary is really great!!! Thank you Olly Richards! Please publish more stories!
