There are many reasons behind the decision to learn Italian: from having Italian relatives to wanting to travel to one of the most beautiful countries in the world. However, there is no need to make hypotheses--if you are reading this description, you have been led here by your desire to learn this language.

The purpose of this book is to present itself as the best solution for those approaching Italian for the first time. This is not a booklet with a handful of sentences already built or a two-thousand-page manual on how to become a Neo-Latin linguist.
