This set includes access to online audio recorded by a native Italian speaker, English translations printed at the back of each reader, and bilingual word charts printed on the inside front cover. No prior Italian knowledge is needed.

    Set 1 is perfect for after-school learning, weekend fun, or as a gentle introduction to Italian. Grandparents, relatives, and friends often give our sets as gifts to introduce children to their heritage language. Many homeschooling families use it too. Our sets are also a wonderful way to introduce languages at an early age to prepare kids to learn languages at school.

    Note about Italian language variations
    Everyday vocabulary in Italian can vary with region. The words in our books have been carefully selected by our team of editors, but they may not be the words you normally use. We encourage you to use the vocabulary in our books and to teach other words you may know. This will expand children’s vocabulary and introduce them to the rich, diverse world of Italian.
