Italian is one of those languages that many people want to learn due to its geographical and cultural proximity to ours. However, this similarity forces us to make a greater effort, since the similarity of the words does not always correspond to their exact meaning. For this reason, the author has taken special care when dealing with all those cases in which similarities in syntax or lexicon allow for faster and more efficient learning, as well as in those that may cause error or confusion. The vocabulary, the syntactic rules, the models taken from the most common conversations, and the exercises and the phonetic transcriptions will facilitate the learning of the language.
