Customer Reviews

Good vocabulary builder
All of the Italian "Practice Makes Perfect" books are wonderful as supplements to your learning the Italian language. This book is effective for vocabulary building within topics. So if you want travel vocabulary, there is a chapter on just that. If you want vocabulary for the things you see and do at school, in the doctor's office, etc., you will find chapters that compliment your development of vocabulary in those areas.

Too many mistakes
This latest addition to the family of Practice Makes Perfect books is, like the others, well-organized and potentially useful to students of Italian. However it is marred by many simple errors, particularly errors of gender ( eg'la' when it should be 'il'). Some careful editing would make this a much more useable book. As it is,for a teacher like myself, it is quite frustrating to feel one has to correct the inaccuracies before directing students to the relevant pages.

Practice Makes Perfect : Italian Vocabulary (Kindle Edition)
Practice Makes Perfect : Italian Vocabulary (Kindle Edition) is a good book. I wish I had the hard copy. The book is very difficult for me to use on the Kindle. The word charts are graphics and are very tiny. You can't expand the text for a comfortable read, therefore only 3 stars for the Kindle version.
