Upgrade Your Italian Reviews

For A-level (or equivalent) students pressed for time this is the best possible aid to revision since it concentrates on identifying the most common basic errors and the most useful vocabularly. It is obvious that it has been written by a first rate teacher who knows all about whetting her students' appetites and then not overfeeding them. The 30 One day-at-a-time chapters were just perfect for me. And I am still learning a lot from this, my constant companion.
