build on what you know
learn italian as it is spoken today
increase the range of your vocabulary

Teach Yourself Italian Vocabulary is a completely new book, incorporating the most up-to-date language learning techniques. Unlike a phrasebook or a dictionary, it will take your existing knowledge and build on it systematically and organically, so that you will increase your vocabulary and at the same time expand your range of expression.

At the beginning of the book there is a section to help you with your pronunciation, followed by a short and simple grammar summary. The main part of the book is arranged in topics, such as 'Work', 'Travel and Accommodation' and 'Food and Drink', and concentrates on the vital and most current words and expressions, listing those which you might already know and then extending the coverage to teach you those you probably do not know.

At the end of the book, verb tables give you a quick-and-easy reference guide to the tenses and forms of the most common verbs.
