Book Reviews of Italian Stories: A Dual-Language Book (Dover Dual Language Italian)
Book Review: Good for learning Italian
Summary: 5 Stars
OK I haven't read much italian literature, but the italian stories I have read mostly seem to follow this rule:
You start with a problem...people work towards solving that problem...things end up much worse than you could have ever possibly imagined...
so its like American stories just instead of a happy ending, something terrible happens...or they just don't really end, the author just seems to stop writing...
but I digress...this book is a great tool for learning italian...I learned a lot, especially about conjugating verbs and such...vocab as well...even though I didn't like some of the stories, they weren't that bad and some of them I thought were entertaining...the one by Machiavelli, "Belfagor" I really liked...but the real great thing about these books is you are learning Italian w/o realing studying it...you know what I mean? Its not fun to sit in class but it is fun to read stories...you will be learning a lot more than you realize...sometimes I will try to read a whole story w/o looking at the translation, other times I will look at the translation for each line...its fun to go back and see how close you were to figuring out what really happened...
OK my favorite parts about this book were the vocab section and questionnaire at the end...the questions check to see if you understand what is going on, and the vocab has a many words, most of which I had never heard before...A great book...
