Due Amiche e Una Bufera di Neve: a Short Story in Simple Italian (A1-A2): Easy Italian Reader - Paperback

Due Amiche e una Bufera di Neve is an easy Italian graded reader for beginners and lower-intermediate learners (A1-A2 CEFR), with a free downloadable audiobook in slow, clear Italian.

Set in the Valle d'Aosta, in the Italian Alps, this short story follows Costanza and Anna as they travel to a beautiful mountain home for a quiet house-sitting stay. Through a simple, warm story you can actually follow, you'll build confidence with Italian vocabulary, grammar, and everyday dialogue in context.

This beginner Italian reader is designed around comprehensible input: instead of memorising isolated grammar rules, you learn by reading natural Italian at the right level.

Inside you'll find:

• 16 short chapters in simple, natural Italian
• High-frequency vocabulary and real-life dialogue
• Bilingual Italian-English word lists
• Comprehension questions and exercises
• Cultural notes about the Valle d'Aosta
• A free downloadable audiobook in slow Italian, so you can read and listen together

Great input for your conversation class, too: ask your tutor to summarise or discuss one chapter at a time.

Part of the Due Amiche series, this graded reader follows two friends across Italy's regions. Each book stands alone and can be read in any order, so you can start here or with book one, Due Amiche e un Album di Fotografie.

Written by Serena Capilli, an experienced Italian teacher with over a decade of teaching adult learners, Due Amiche e una Bufera di Neve helps you turn beginner Italian into an enjoyable reading habit.
