Reviews

[Hunter Johnson]

Italian Grammar by Marcelo Danesi. Picked it up while crashing into Italian for a job interview. Apparently not a great grammar, according to Amazon reviews, but I discovered many interesting facets of Italian through it.

Excellent account of Italian grammar, pocket-sized but fully comprehensive.
