Editorial Review:
Designed for both classroom use and as a text for self-teaching language learners, this book consists of 30 work units, an extensive Italian-English and English-Italian vocabulary list, idioms, and dialogues, all focused to build proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and understanding Italian. Word-completion and multiple-choice exercises, word games, and entertaining stories in dialogue form are supplemented with photos of Italian landmarks, cartoon-style illustrations, and reproductions of Italian classical art that give students something of the flavor of contemporary Italian culture. Italian Now! emphasizes practical, functional use of conversational and informal written Italian but also offers solid foundation in Italian grammar, verb forms, and correct sentence structure.

Rating:  - Very good book!
In general this is a very good book to learn Italian. Other reviewers have commented on how it is organized and layed out, so I won't repeat that here. Comments to add though are that it does build nicely upon itself, so in Unit 10 for instance, it will re-emphasize something important that you may have forgotten from Unit 7.
I really like the crossword puzzles as I find that a very effective use of really testing my comprehension. Unfortunately there are the occasional errors in the answers, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent for Beginners Like Me Who Want to Learn Italian!
I was looking for an Italian language resource that was both introductory in nature, but not so rudimentary that it could not serve as a building block for future mastery.
Italian Now! is an entry level/college-high school first semester course designed to give the Italian student a solid foundation/introduction and a springboard to intermediate study.
I was impressed by the facility with which the dialogues utilize the vocabulary and the applicablity for daily life. I'm about ... Read More
Rating: - Very effective
I started learning Italian by myself using the Pimsleur (listen only) method and reached a point where I needed to learn how to read and write Italian and also grammar, etc. I tried a few books, but Italian Now! is the only one that I stuck to. It is fun, the lessons are organized in a very effective way; it makes it easy to memorize new information and understand the grammar, without seeming overbearing.
Rating: - Good Italian textbook for beginners
Well I just began to study Italian by myself at home and I bought this textbook. Its a very good starting point to learning Italian. Learn basic expressions, pronunciation, and grammar. I recommend anyone who wants to start learning Italian to buy this textbook.
Rating: - Great Learning Guide for Italian Grammer
I'm currently half way through this book, I hack away at it bit by bit in 1hr or 1 1/2hr segments everyday day or so. I'm an Italian destination specialist that is moving to Italia in one year. So of course I must learn the language. I do agree with another poster that on its own you can't learn the language with this guide. I started learning Italian August 2006, with the Rosetta Stone level 1&2, that took me 9 months to complete. It took me so long because I hand wrote and translated each and every ... Read More
