Brilliant though somewhat overwhelming book due to amount of information contained.
If you are studying Italian in a class this is quite an essential book – the Verb Tables are second to none, and if you are at advanced Beginner Level and beyond you will really appreciate this book.
There is an awful lot to sink your teeth into and gives practical examples on use based on the context the words are being used. Italian is a somewhat completed language with many words having several meanings and a different verb word for plural, singular, me, you they etc.
If studying on your own it will be hard not to get overwhelmed by this book and the amount to learn. If studing in a class, I strongly advise only look at the information in context of that weeks study work and take your time to understand it all. My cousin-in-law is Italian and I have been advised that it can easily take 2 years minimum to really grasp the nuances of Italian. I see what they mean.
I am using it as a companion to my class studies and find it valuable.

Collins ‘Easy Learning Italian Complete Grammar, Verbs and Vocabulary’ is a true ‘3 books in 1’ as described. Well set out and explained, it is ideal for complete beginner to advanced, providing a quick reference to support other learning, or adhoc guidance. I have also bought versions in two other languages, and they follow the same format.
