A book to always keep next to other Italian books and courses. It will help you while learning the Italian language, either if you study by yourself or if you take a class. Here is the basic idea of this English speaker oriented manual: The horizontal format on two columns (with English parallel text) lets you discover the tricks of learning the language directly in Italian as well Tony Buzan’s mind maps (http://www.buzanworld.com/). By studying the books of this English psychologist, “the most important researcher in the fields of learning, intelligence development and memory”, the author, an Italian teacher Ditals certified, gets inspiration to create and draw several mind maps showing frequent Italian words and basic grammar. Thanks to the internet and multimedia, “The secrets of the Italian language” can be heard through the real author’s voice. The book is divided in three parts.
