First Thousand Words in Italian (First Picture Book)

Summary: An outstanding resource, even for adults!
Review: Do you want to learn Italian? If you want to begin to master this beautiful language, then I suggest that you acquire this fun approach. This book is for kids, but anyone who is studying a new language needs graphics to see what the words are. This book is a perfect way to visualize Italian nouns ( persons, places, or things) in the home (kitchen,bathroom, bedroom living room stairs, etc.) in the yard, in the workshop and garage, on the street ( anything you can think of), in the toy store (OH, no!), in the park, at the zoo, at the airport, in the country, on the farm, at the ocean, in school ( a scuola) in the hospital ( il gesso e le grucce ), at a party (la festa), in the grocery store ( il negozio ), food to put on the table, parts of the body, clothes, occupations, family members (zio ?) then action words, opposites, story characters, pet favorites, weather ( il tempo ), seasons (le stagioni), sports ( il calcio), colors (verde e bianco), shapes and numbers, the circus, and an amusement park. This book also teaches the masculilne, feminine, plural, and singular form of nouns, aids pronunciation, and has a large list of other useful words. In addition, the picture words are indexed in the back of the book with a pronunciation guide for each book. A must for your Italian language library!

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a great book, great pictures, great for object recognition. The only drawback is that the pronunciation guide is at the back of the book. So for each word you have to look through the list of words till you find the word and it's pronunciation. It would have been better if they had done it like they did in, I believe the Russian book, where they put the pronunciation under the word.
