Composed of 60 units supported by 5 appendices, "Conoscere l'italiano" is a clear and simple textbook aimed at teaching beginners those difficult grammar rules present in the Italian language. Each unit uses the same structure - outlining the grammar point on one page and then using a multitude of original exercises to support it. The appendices included in the volume are summaries of the 'essere, 'avere' and modal auxiliary verbs; brief explanations of problems regarding phonetics; difficulties that may occur with accents and finally, rules regarding adjectives.

"Conoscere l'italiano 2" uses exactly the same format as the first volume but it is aimed at intermediate and advanced level learners of Italian. This volume is subdivided into 27 units and again includes 5 appendices tackling the more difficult grammar points such as clauses and the hypothetical tense.
