Overview

Learn Italian the way you actually want to: through a real story. If you studied Italian at school or in an app and now you want to read a real book, but every novel feels too hard - this book was written for you. Nick e Rossella is an engaging story set in a small town in Southern Italy and in the working-class heart of Naples. It tells a love between two teenagers whose families have hated each other for generations. The writing is clear, the dialogues are natural, and the vocabulary is the one intermediate learners already half-know. What you get in this book: - A complete novel of around 15,000 words, divided into six chapters - Bilingual vocabulary lists at the end of each chapter (key words explained in plain English) - A separate section on authentic idiomatic expressions used by native speakers - Five practical exercises per chapter: reading comprehension, articles and prepositions, verb tenses (passato prossimo vs imperfetto), vocabulary matching, idioms in context - Six creative writing prompts at the end of the book, with the author's model answers - A complete answer key for every exercise Perfect for you if you are: - A self-taught learner who finished Duolingo, Babbel or a beginner course and wants a real reading experience - A student preparing for a CILS, CELI or PLIDA exam - A teacher of Italian looking for a ready-to-use classroom text - A heritage speaker who grew up with Italian at home and wants to read in Italian again Why this book works: The vocabulary is carefully controlled: the narrative uses the core 7,000 words of the language plus a few hundred carefully introduced new terms, all glossed at the end of each chapter. The story is set in a real cultural context - a small town in the South, a family feud, a boxing gym in the Rione Sanità of Naples, a coma that changes everything - so you absorb culture at the same time as language. No dictionary needed. Everything is explained in the book. Start reading today and discover that the language can be beautiful, emotional and readable - all at the same time.
