Non é sempre la solita storia: Dal nord al sud (Italian Stories Level 3) helps students explore the language and culture of Italy in a meaningful, up-to-date context. Readers engage in and learn from the story of two brothers who embark on an adventure across Italy and explore some of the most beautiful regions. As they travel across the boot of Italy, the Stivale, they discover that their adventure is much bigger than they had expected!

An immersion text, the language, grammar, and cultural instruction come together seamlessly. A visual dictionary provides pictorial clues to new words in the texts. True/false questions after each reading allow students to immediately check comprehension. Target vocabulary and grammatical structures are recycled throughout the text for review and to function as building blocks for new language and conversational skills.

Non é sempre la solita storia is designed to be a companion reader to standard textbooks. It is appropriate for intermediate Italian courses in university programs, and can also serve as a review and refresher for students at the advanced level.
