Barron's AP Italian Language and Culture: With Audio CDs [With 3 CDs]

If you have studied Italian for some time and are familiar with several verb tenses, then you are ready for this book. I teach Italian and was desperate for audio exercises, until I found this book. It's just perfect. Students listen to the track selected. And answer a few questions regarding the content, which are blessedly multiple choice. It also has nice verbal exercises as well. I use this book very week.

I recently purchased this book to help prepare my students for the AP Italian Language and Culture course and I love it! Being that the AP Italian program is still in its infancy there are limited resources out there to prepare the students for the exam. This book is exactly what I (and I'm sure other Italian teachers) have been waiting for! I found the listening exercises challenging but not impossible for the students and appreciate the feedback the book provides for each section's answers. Also, the diagnostic test and the two sample tests in the book were extremely helpful the last few weeks in preparing the students for the exam in May. I recommended to my department supervisor that we buy a class set of this book for the students in the class next year. E' davvero un libro da non perdere!
