Eccoci!: Beginning Italian

Eccoci! (Here we are!) is a comprehensive beginning Italian program that features innovative student-oriented materials and learning goals. Grounded in what we believe is the most effective methodology, Eccoci! has been conceived and developed to provide sound language learning, dynamic interaction, and flexibility.

Because students learn best from materials that are fun, interesting, and relevant, the activities, readings, and authentic documents in Eccoci! foster creativity and encourage the use of Italian in meaningful, everyday situations while promoting cultural awareness and appreciation. Student learning, in fact, is supported throughout the book. Eccoci! is the first Italian textbook structured for manageable teaching and learning at different institutions. Its innovative presentation of grammar—in separate sections called Grammatica and Espansione grammaticale—offers both fundamental structures and optional, expanded grammatical explanations.
