Features: Italian is a textbook designed for Italian majors in higher education institutions 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 integrating 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, annotations, grammar, and exercises. The texts are primarily dialog-based to facilitate listening and speaking training. The content progresses from simple to complex, is diverse and lively, and provides essential vocabulary and expressions commonly used in daily life. The annotations help students understand the texts by explaining difficult vocabulary and grammatical phenomena. The grammar covers basic and commonly used grammatical knowledge, with each lesson highlighting key points while also noting the intrinsic connections between them. The exercises focus on grammatical phenomena, combined with the text content, and aim to achieve proficiency through repeated practice. Volume 4 is primarily lesson-based, with a total of eighteen lessons, suitable for one semester. This volume gives more weight to texts, significantly expanding vocabulary and language expressions through the texts to enhance listening and speaking skills, as well as strengthen writing, reading, and translation training.
