studying wih easy readers
Read!
Few hours in the language classroom are not enough. The things you learn rest strange, isolated, it feels as if you would never go on.
If you want to feel at home in the foreign language instead, if you want constant progress, you need daily contact.
With Easy Readers, you will not depend on the teacher any more.
You will enrich your vocabulary working autonomously, get used to new structures ..., and be motivated to go on.
Get adventurous!
Adventure and murder, loyalty and faith: Faust and Siegfried, the lives of Martin Luther or of women like
Marlene Dietrichand Hedy Lamarr, the murderous nun from Monza and the famous robber
Carmine Croccowill bring new life in your imagination.

Do you remember war films where the Germans are the bad guys? Have you seen horrible documentaries about German concentration camps?

Italy: Poverty, Politics and Crime
In Italy, life in the 19th century was hard, and long has been the road to national unification. Students ought to know something about the origins of the political problems of the country. And they will be moved by the narration of Carmine Crocco's life.
