Italian Short Stories for Beginners: Engaging Short Stories to Learn Italian and Build Your Vocabulary - Includes Phrases For Everyday Use and Travel

Are you looking for a stimulating tool that will allow you to make progress towards achieving your linguistic objective while having fun?


Many of the books for native speakers are too long and difficult for most language students to understand. Despite this, I realize how important it is to listen in the target language to improve one's linguistic competence. As a teacher, I always encourage and support those who strive to learn. That’s why I produce simplified books in Italian for foreigners because I want to make learning Italian easy, interesting, and enjoyable.
