La Strada

La Strada (the street) is a guide to Italian culture with hints of Italian language. Based on real life situations and with audiorecordings by a voice-over specialist (CD sold separately), the course is a vital tool for everyone who loves Italy. Divided into 11 Modules (104 pages), the book presents facts about Italian lifestyle, etiquette, manners, do’s and don’ts, phonetics, and useful information about Italy (travelling, health system, food and drink, legislation). There is also a chapter (L'insegnante risponde) where the questions of previous students have been answered by Italian experts (for example: what is the origin of the word "Mafia"? or "what is the meaning of "prego"?). The course is developed by language company Williams Language Solutions.
