Parliamo italiano! offers a communicative, culture-based approach for beginning students of Italian. In addition to the four skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—Parliamo italiano! has made the fifth skill of cultural competency an integral part of learning Italian. Instead of taking for granted that students will assimilate cultural information while studying language, we have made cultural competency one of our primary goals.

Featuring a fresh, magazine-like design, Immagina captures students’ interest right from the start. Lesson content and themes are clearly outlined, and are designed to engage students while integrating thematic, cultural, and grammatical concepts throughout the entire language learning journey.

Building on the success of earlier editions, the main goal of the Third Edition is to encourage students’ active and creative use of Italian in meaningful communication. To promote this goal, Crescendo! reviews and expands on all important grammatical structures and supports the acquisition of vocabulary while stressing the use of Italian in meaningful contexts. Chapters are thematically organized; the vocabulary and grammar reinforce students’ ability to express their thoughts on the featured topics.
