Italiano per modo di dire presents a vast range of idiomatic phrases, proverbs and idioms in common use in the Italian language.

The text aims to satisfy the curiosity of students interested in the living language and its many facets, often revealing profound aspects of culture, history and tradition.

Structured in 14 thematic chapters (body, food and drink, space and places, crying and laughing, life and death, animals, religion, etc.) the volume explores the Italian language through presentation exercises, analysis and use of idiomatic expressions and typical forms of speech, in order to develop and perfect the student's communicative competence and to provide him with a practical, authentic language that can be used immediately.

Particular attention is paid to the language of the means of communication (newspapers, television, cinema) from which terms, expressive formulas, constructions and idioms that have entered everyday use derive.

Italiano per modo di dire is supplied with keys and can be used both in class with the teacher and in self-study.

It is suitable for both elementary and intermediate and advanced level students, with an offer of exercises covering levels A1, A2, B1, B2 of the Common European Framework .
