A good starter grammar

This book will provide you with a good overview of Italian Grammar, but for the serious student interested in attaining fluency it just isn't detailed enough. Many grammatical topics are entirely omitted, topics of extreme importance if you are interested in using the language for more than...

Great companion.

I had always wanted to learn to speak Italian and decided to finally start learning with the Rosetta Stone program. While Rosetta Stone itself is wonderful and very easy to understand, I feel that Ms. Ragusa's concise book on Italian grammar complements the program very well. This book has...

Not for beginners

The only grammar book you really need

I love the entire Dover Essential Grammar series, and I actually own most of them. I used Ragusa's Essential Italian Grammar in my language preparation for a trip to Italy last year, and it works extremely well.It isn't going to teach you enough vocabulary for true facility with the language, of...
