| Language Books - Anyone want to trade Italian books, courses etc., electonic format? Bart | |

| - I don't want to trade, I don't know how that's possible-trading books online. A really good Italian learners' book to buy is the Berlitz Self-Teacher e è molto bene. | |

| - if you want to do self-study..i suggest "Italian made simple" by Christina Mazzoni..it is very conversational, has the same running story throughout all the chapters etc so it's interesting to read, has basic grammar...you can find it online if local bookstore doesn't have it. for much faster grammar: "Italian, a self-teaching guide" by Edoardo Lèbano is good. Better in the sense of more exercises to practice but less explanation. Both of these were far better than the awful textbook "Ciao" we were forced to use in class. | |
