The last couple of weeks we’ve been promoting a selection of seasonal Italian ‘easy reader’ ebooks, first ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ (about Christmas), then ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ (New Year). They’re both still half-price, if you missed them. See the P.S. below for more details and links.
But attenzione! ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ and ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ are both for upper-intermediate or advanced students, so might be too much of a challenge for many of our readers.
To remedy that, this week’s (final) seasonal ‘easy reader’ ebook choice is the A2/B1 (pre-intermediate/intermediate) -level ‘Il calendario di Laura‘.
Laura finds weekdays a bore but loves public holidays! And Italy has plenty to enjoy, each with its own traditions.
Read how she and her husband like to spend each ‘giorno festivo’, from Epiphany on January 6th, through the spring, summer, fall and winter months, to the climax of the Christmas holidays, New Year, and then, to begin all over again!

How do I access my ebook?
When your order is ‘completed’ (normally immediately after your payment), a download link will be automatically emailed to you. It’s valid for 7 days and 3 download attempts so please save a copy of the .pdf ebook in a safe place. Other versions of the ebook, where available, cannot be downloaded but will be emailed to people who request them. There’s a space to do that on the order form – where it says Additional information, Order notes (optional). If you forget, or if you have problems downloading the .pdf, don’t worry! Email us at the address on the website and we’ll help. Also, why not check out our FAQ?
P.S. Two More Half-Price Italian Easy Readers!
Two weeks ago our ‘Half-Price Ebook of the Week’ was the very seasonal B2 (upper-intermediate)-level ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.
Because we’re still feeling Christmassy, we’ve left it at half-price until the holidays, to give you a chance to grab your copy at a discount: ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.
Ditto with last week’s seasonal Italian ‘easy reader’, the B2/C1-level ‘easy reader’, ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘, a New-Year murder mystery, perfect for improving your Italian reading/listening skills over the holidays.
N.b. Both of those are for more advanced/confident learners of Italian. If that sounds like you, check out the free sample chapters (don’t forget to try the online audio, too – the link is in the free sample):
- https://easyreaders.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Natale-a-sorpresa-SAMPLE.pdf
- https://easyreaders.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Giallo-a-Capodanno-SAMPLE.pdf
Read/listen to one or both of these over the next week or two and you’ll improve your Italian comprehension skills, consolidate the grammar and vocabulary you’ve studied, and get into the festive mood.
Get them while they’re still half-price!
