6 reviews for I racconti di Canterbury (B2/C1)

  1. Roger D (verified owner)

    I’ve always intended to read the Canterbury Tales and always want to improve my Italian. By reading the ebook I’ve been able to kill two birds with one stone.
    I found the level not too difficult and had to resort to the dictionary only occasionally.

  2. Debbie (verified owner)

    I’m really at B1 level not B2 but I wanted to try it, knowing some of the Tales quite well in English, So I started with the Prologue and proceeded through the Tales I knew in English and that’s as far as I’ve got so far. But I plan to read the rest, It’s not been easy going all the time so far so it might be a lot harder as I continue. But I’m getting most of it which I’m pleased about.

    Loved this book! I am encouraged now to buy my next level B2/C1. The audio file is also a great way to practice my listening comprehension.

  4. Donna K. (verified owner)

    I just finished reading I Racconti di Canterbury, and I really enjoyed the experience. At times I was challenged with the Italian but was greatly rewarded with the experience of reading and emerging myself in an entertaining tale! By the way, I had never read Canterbury Tales in English, which is my native language, so I found this even more rewarding.

    Highly recommend.

  5. Lynn Swanson (verified owner)

    I enjoyed this a lot. I found I could understand quite a bit of it. And of course it is an interesting tale! The whole idea of these EASYREADERS books is brilliant!

  6. David Wedderburn (verified owner)

    Really enjoyed reading this book, even surprised myself by understanding most of it. Need to concentrate on the accompanying sound track now.
