Clelia Boscolo is Language Tutor and Coordinator of Italian Language Courses at the Department of Italian Studies and at the Centre for Modern Languages, University of Birmingham, UK
For A-level (or equivalent) students pressed for time this is the best possible aid to revision since it concentrates on identifying the most common basic errors and the most useful vocabularly. It is obvious that it has been written by a first rate teacher who knows all about whetting her students' appetites and then not overfeeding them. The 30 "One day-at-a-time" chapters were just perfect for me. And I am still learning a lot from this, my constant companion. -- Victor Bleaze A reader from Belfast 20060206
