Centered around practical, engaging themes, the Elementary Italian Student Activities Manual is designed to accompany the textbook Elementary Italian.

The activities manual features homework assignments and supplemental exercises suitable for first year students of Italian. The progression of the material is tried and tested, and begins with an introductory lesson on the alphabet and pronunciation, greetings and salutations, numbers, days of the week, and months of the year.

It emphasizes the most important grammar points covered in the main text, such as verb tenses, pronouns, comparative and superlative adjectives, and prepositions.

Student friendly and extensively class-tested, the Elementary Italian Student Activities Manual was written for college-level beginning Italian courses that meet three days a week over a fifteen week semester, but it can easily be adapted to a quarter system.
