Made up of thirteen interviews relating to contemporary life and civilisation in Italy, "Viva Voce" helps intermediate level students improve their oral skills by listening to authentic spoken Italian, with some examples of its regional variations.

The book expands on the linguistic and cultural themes mentioned in the interviews. Each unit is divided into six activities: listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, detailed comprehension, discussion on the topic of the interview and oral or written production.

Two reference books, one for verbs and one for idiomatic expressions , are also available.
