Format:Paperback
I use First Thousand Words in French with my private tutees, and I thought I would experiment on myself what it is like to learn vocabulary from this series, so I got the Italian version.
The small format version make it more handy to carry around and more suitable for use by adults. The redesigned cover won't embarrass you in public places.
One can learn the words thanks to the little labelled pictures in the margin, then ignore these, look at the central scene and spot and name the objects in situation. Easy, effective and a good way to utilise spare minutes.
The pronunciation and stress guide provided for each word in the glossary is easy to understand, but the paragraphs giving the general rules of pronunciation and stress are brief and sketchy. I have had to read on that somewhere else.
Definitely not a self-contained teach-yourself method, but a practical accessory for building up basic vocabulary easily.

Format:Paperback
The pictures in the First Thousand Words series are attractive, colourful, and very detailed with lots of humourous action to talk about. I got it for my toddler, and she saw it on her bookshelf and wanted to look at it and talk about the pictures straight away. It's entirely suitable for any age group for conversation practice. With a thousand words it's good value for money.

What can I say? Have been buying these books in various languages for different children in the family for years. They're a great tool for extending vocabulary using I spy or similar games, and having words in themed pages can be helpful for homework for the older ones.
They can help adults too!

This is a book of colourful pictures with the Italian word next to the picture. It is easy to learn the word because the picture is a great help.

Beginners Italian
I bought this book based on web write-up. Unfortunately it is more a childs book rather than for an adult wishing to learn Italian. It would be lovely for a young child. Read more

Highly recommended
My twin boys who are now 21 months old have just started using this book and they love it. My only gripe is that it isn't a board book and so they try to rip the pages. Read more

A book for teaching adults
I bought this book as an aid for adult teaching - it has been a great success - the simplistic pictures take the emphasis from 'hard work' to 'learning thro play' Excellent value
