Colloquial Italian 2: The Next Step in Language Learning

[The Barrens]

ReUploaded by arcadius 27.05.2015

Colloquial Italian 2 seeks to follow the spirit of Colloquial Italian: to guide the independent learner to surer grasp of Italian. You need some knowledge of Italian to use this book but not necessarily gained from using Colloquial Italian. You may have used another book for beginners, attended an evening class, or
perhaps visited Italy often, lived there maybe. Whatever your experience, you have some knowledge and want to build on it. This book helps you to do that. The book may well be of interest to more advanced learners: it is often helpful to meet points presented in a different way or simply to read new material.
Colloquial Italian 2 contains materials on a variety of topics; all the materials are authentic, either captured in conversations with Italian speakers or taken from articles from Italian newspapers. In two cases Italians have written material for the book on specific subjects at our request. We have edited where we thought necessary, but you will find the material ranges from the straightforward to the challenging. Each unit focuses on a particular topic and several give you glimpses of life in Italy at the start of the twenty-first century. Much of the material is also recorded, so that you can work on spoken Italian too. In addition to that, there is a web site to support the Colloquial courses. At http://www.routledge.com/colloquials/italian you will find extra exercises as well as links to sites that build on the material in the units.
The dialogues and texts are followed by notes to help you with potentially difficult points. Each unit explains a number of Language points, often going over points you may have met, always a valuable activity, since each time you find you understand and remember better. Some Language points will be new to you. The Language points are usually backed up by exercises to help you learn the new material. And we also make Language learning suggestions based on our rxperience as language learners ourselves, as well as language teachers. Not all will suit you-language learners differ just as people generally do. We hope you will find some which are helpful to you.
The units probably contain too much material to be covered in one session, so don’t be afraid to break them up-perhaps the text one day, a Language point and an exercise the next. Much depends on the time you have available-and on you, what sort of learner you are. Just do it your way!
Language learning is challenging and at times we all feel we are not making progress. Try not to get downhearted. Try to keep finding the time, moving forward a little. You will get better. And that will open windows for you on to new experiences. We hope you will be able to enjoy at first hand the fruits of your efforts by a visit to Italy. Travelling to a country whose language you know, however imperfectly, is a pleasure that is not to be missed. Italy is a country that has been a magnet for travellers since the days of the Grand Tour and has much to offer. Beyond the obvious, such as the beautiful and varied scenery, the art
treasures, the food and wine, and the cordiality and generosity which you will find when you make Italian friends, there is a complex and fascinating nation. And even if you can’t visit Italy yet, it is something to look forward to and you have unlocked the door to a new and rich culture, to new and interesting people to meet. Enjoy your studies!
