I've been studying Italian for years and still lack conversational skills. I'm currently working my way through the Duolingo course, but wanted to supplement that rote learning with some easy reading. This was perfect. This is not great literature, but the stores are short and interesting. They were just challenging enough to keep me interested, but not so challenging that I gave up. There is a brief 5 question quiz at the end of each chapter to ensure that you really understood it. This book would only be of interest to somebody who wants to improve their Italian language skills. I did not purchase the audio version of the e-book.

I enjoyed reading these stories, which are about at my level.
I had read some of them earlier—in Spanish—but that wasn't too much of a problem.
However, there were occasional errors with the glossary, and in one, there was a complete mix-up of several words. Also sometimes words were glossed that were very clear for an English speaker, while others I needed were not. I'm wondering if the same words are glossed for the different languages.
Nevertheless, there is a great need for reading material at easy levels, and these stories are usually interesting and soometimes exciting.

Buenas historias para principiantes

Con historias cortas, a veces demasiado cortas, vas aprendiendo más y más vocabulario y avanzas en el entendimiento del tema de la historia, el método sugerido por el autor es muy provechoso.

Mi piaceva molto questo libro! Era molto facile ma anche interessante

I give this 4 stars, not for the quality of the literature (which is at times dire), but for the effect it is having on my learning and understanding of Italian. I like that it uses numerous idioms (although these are not always fully explained -e.g. dormire con un ghiro). In any event if you read this out loud it sounds, as Italian always does, wonderful - even the Italian for hyperspace jump (which I am sure I will never need).

This was a good read overall however the quality was not the same as the previous book ie lack of illustration text that was hard to read and inconsistent in places. The stories themselves were interesting and good for my level but overall the presentation was not as good as his last book. Perhaps because it was published by Amazon. Nonetheless I will reread several times before inevitably buying his short conversations in intermediate Italian.

Another excellent book by Olly Richards. His chapters are just the right length as are each short story (3 chapters for each short story). After each short story there are vocabulary words, a summary and a few comprehension questions at the end. I bought the Kindle edition which allowed me to highlight words or phrases to study later. This is an excellent series for Italian language learners.

Like in the first volume, the stories here aren't very good. We get more tenses in this one (including the remote past, which is much more useful than the present for reading actual Italian literature), but overall the formatting is much messier and there is no glossary. Overall, it's a great tool even if the collection still leaves much to be desired.

Another interesting way to learn Italian. This follows the same format - 8 stories, three chapters per story with vocabulary at the end of each chapter. This one concentrates more on the past tense.

Great for learning Italian... I'll read again and again.
