Multimedia course of Italian language for foreigners (A1).
Arrivederci! is a modern and communicative language course for adults and young adults (ages 16 and older) with or without previous knowledge of Italian language. With a slow and gradual progression, Arrivederci! is also suitable for students who have never studied a foreign language. It consists of three volumes covering respectively levels A1, A2 and B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Each volume includes the Student’s book, the Workbook and the audio CD. For the first volume (level A1) the audio CD is offered in both “natural” (attached to the book) and “slow” version (available on our web site) and therefore easier to understand.
The book contains a personal code that gives access to the digital version of the exercises (in total 202) and to innovative study tools, on the i-d-e-e platform.
