Easy Learning Italian Complete Grammar, Verbs and Vocabulary (3 books in 1): Trusted Support for Learning (Collins Easy Learning Italian) Paperback – 14 Jan. 2016

I'm learning Italian via an app, but I need to understand why, can't just learn by immersive technique. This book is well laid out and is exactly what I want. It's perfect for the academic side of learning, so complements the app.

I started a beginner conversational Italian course six months ago and was recommended this book by another member of the group. This is so helpful I am referring to it all the time. Particularly useful is the middle third with the conjugation of the verbs set out so clearly. I've also used the reference section a lot right at the front to explain so many terms of language I am hearing on my course and which I didn't learn in English at school (over 40 years ago!). Best reference book for anyone from beginner like me to those with more advanced language skills like the person who recommended it to me.

Well presented

very useful for beginners and teens especially since lots of it is based on the Italian GCSE specification, there’s a verbs table in the middle that also looks really useful

Brilliant though somewhat overwhelming book due to amount of information contained.If you are studying Italian in a class this is quite an essential book - the Verb Tables are second to none, and if you are at advanced Beginner Level and beyond you will really appreciate this book.There is an awful lot to sink your teeth into and gives practical examples on use based on the context the words are being used. Italian is a somewhat completed language with many words having several meanings and a different verb word for plural, singular, me, you they etc.If studying on your own it will be hard not to get overwhelmed by this book and the amount to learn. If studing in a class, I strongly advise only look at the information in context of that weeks study work and take your time to understand it all. My cousin-in-law is Italian and I have been advised that it can easily take 2 years minimum to really grasp the nuances of Italian. I see what they mean.I am using it as a companion to my class studies and find it valuable.

Very clear guidance. Easy to navigate and all in one book.

cheap paper but generally clear and helpful

Part of my collection of Italian grammar books but for reference not learning conversation
