It was 1982 when your Italian Language Expert began teaching Italian as the youngest guy of the pack (even if the legend wants him as a 3-years old, teaching Italian to some Swiss baby sitters).
This book was already old at that time, and in few months, at the school I worked we did not use it anymore – officially. But we teachers kept on making good use of it for many years, and at Scuola Toscana you can meet with some of its pages still today – as you know, learning and teaching a language has a lot to do with sensations and feelings, so you have to like the tools you work with…

Moreover, some of the exercises you find were quite revolutionary for the times, and are quite creative still today – can you figure out how they work ?

… some books never get old, do they ?
