Con Fantasia: Reviewing and Expanding Functional Italian Skills

Con FantasiaReviewing and Expanding Functional Italian Skills, 4e, allows readers to use their prior knowledge of Italian as a basis for expansion and practice of more complex linguistic and cultural topics. Each chapter is built around a thematic focus, and the book's activities are related to these themes. Each chapter features four main parts, each consisting of the same elements, sections, and overall flow--a unique organization of the lexical, grammatical, communicative, and cultural material that distinguishes CON FANTASIA from other intermediate Italian textbooks. The Fourth Edition presents readers with numerous opportunities to express themselves--an approach designed to encourage confidence from the very start.
