I'm really enjoying reading this book. It's challenging but not too hard for my level of knowledge. Lots of support at end of each chapter. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ITALIAN BOOK FOR BEGINNERS *by E***S on 15 February 2026* This is a great book to expand your knowledge of Italian. You would need at least 18 months of prior study to benefit from this book. Some great stories to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent extra resource *by I***T on 4 January 2020* Overall a really good aid for me, a beginner who has done some work previously (so working towards A2 on the language levels). First the negatives. The stories themselves are a little dumb and I'm sure that they could have been made stronger without loosing the energy or easy-read aspects. That's about it for negatives. On the positive, I've enjoyed reading and re-reading them. They're well organised and structured for a learner, just the right level to stretch and develop me but without putting me off or making me feel it was a chore. Nice short chapters and move along at pace. Initially i got the book, then I moved on and got it on Audible too. Initially i used the two independently and it was really useful having read the stories once to be able to work on my listening comprehension whilst travelling or just going for walk. Now i've moved on to listening and reading at the same time to improve my pronunciation. They have definitely helped broaden my vocabulary and to re-inforce some the learning I'm doing. Best seen as an additional resource, sometimes you don't want to study but do want to keep moving with your language learning. You can do some of that on the internet, but this is definitely a good extra way of keeping moving forward. Enjoyed it enough to buy the second in the series for Christmas !!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Short Stories in Italian for Beginners (Teach Yourself Foreign Language Graded Readers, 1) - Short Stories In Italian for Beginners Volume 2 (Teach Yourself, 2) - Short Stories in Italian for Intermediate Learners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/95117285-short-stories-in-italian-beginners](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/95117285-short-stories-in-italian-beginners) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
