Features: Italian is a textbook designed for university-level Italian majors and can also assist a broad range of self-learners of Italian. This textbook caters to the characteristics of Chinese students learning Italian by adhering to the principle of combining theory with practice. Through repeated exercises, it enables students to master the fundamental knowledge and skills of using Italian, as well as develop preliminary abilities in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation. The book is divided into four volumes, suitable for first and second-year students. Volumes 1 to 3 include an eight-lesson pronunciation course and a fifty-lesson basic course, covering three semesters. The pronunciation course focuses on learning phonemes while also covering basic intonation. While emphasizing listening and speaking, it also cultivates students' abilities in reading and spelling, and introduces some basic grammar concepts. The basic course consists of texts, vocabulary lists, notes, grammar, and exercises. The texts are primarily dialogues to facilitate listening and speaking training. The content is designed to progress from simple to complex, covering a wide range of topics in a lively and engaging manner, providing essential vocabulary and expressions commonly used in daily life. The notes help students understand the texts by explaining difficult vocabulary and grammar points. The grammar section includes basic and commonly used grammar knowledge, with each lesson highlighting key points while also emphasizing the intrinsic connections between them. The exercises focus on grammar points, combined with the text content, and are designed through repeated practice to achieve mastery. Volume 4 is primarily lesson-based, with a total of eighteen lessons, suitable for one semester. This volume gives more weight to texts, as they significantly expand vocabulary and language expressions to enhance listening and speaking skills, while strengthening writing, reading, and translation training.
