This week’s half-price, easy-reader ‘eBook of the Week’ offer is the B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced)-level ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘.

“Sbrigati Alida, o arriveremo in ritardo alla festa di Capodanno!” ripete nervosamente Martina alla sua compagna di stanza. Alida sta sdraiata sul letto con un libro di Agatha Christie fra le mani. Si toglie pigramente gli occhiali da lettura e guarda fuori dalla finestra: “Nevica ancora, che incubo!”

It’s New Year 1970 and Martina’s all dressed up for the party, determined to enjoy it! But her roommate, Alida is more cynical:

“Ascolta: siamo bloccati dalla neve in un collegio in cui viviamo tutto l’anno. Dei duecento alunni che frequentano la scuola, solo sette (sette, porca miseria!) hanno dei genitori che non li vogliono tra i piedi nemmeno durante le feste. E noi siamo tra questi sette. Quindi puoi anche vestirti come Marilyn Monroe… ma rimani una disgraziata!”

Alida would rather read detective thrillers than pretend to have fun with just six fellow students. But who knows? Perhaps something interesting will happen?

The story is suitable for students who already have some experience reading in and listening to Italian, or for those who have studied the language for a while and would now like a challenge!

Take a look at the Free Sample Chapter (.pdf) to verify that the level is suitable for you, and that you know how to open and use the .pdf format ebook on your preferred device.

Normally £7.99, Giallo a Capodanno is half price this week, so just £3.99!

For that, you get:

• .pdf e-book (+ audio available free online)
• .mobi (Kindle-compatible) and .epub (other ebook readers) available on request at no extra charge – just add a note to the order form or email us
• 8 chapters to read and listen to

This week’s 50%-off, easy-reader ‘eBook of the Week’ offer is the B2 (upper-intermediate)-level ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.

Matteo’s supposed to be writing a book – he has a deadline coming up – but he’s suffering terribly from writers’ block. All he can do is stare at a blank computer screen. He’s recently out of a relationship, which hasn’t helped…

Worse, it’s December and Christmas is coming! Normally Matteo spends the festive season with his family, but this year they’re visiting relatives in Australia. So it looks as if he’ll be celebrating alone.

Then he has an idea. He’ll call his best friend Filippo, who’ll surely be able to help! Perhaps they can spend Christmas at Filippo’s place in the mountains, or take a trip somewhere…

The story is suitable for students who already have some experience reading in and listening to Italian, or for those who have studied the language for a while and would now like a challenge!

Take a look at the Free Sample Chapter (.pdf) to verify that the level is suitable for you, and that you know how to open and use the .pdf format ebook on your preferred device.

Here’s a final reminder to snap up your free online Italian/Spanish/French/German lesson, if you haven’t already done so.

There are only about 36 hours remaining of our Free Trial Online Lesson offer, which ends tomorrow night (Sunday November 7th 2021).

This offer is for new students only. The Free Trial Lesson offer is limited to one free online lesson per person.
