Italiano per modo di dire presents a wide range of idiomatic expressions, proverbs and sayings commonly used in the Italian language. The book's 14 thematic chapters (body, food and drinks, space and places, crying and laughing, life and death, animals, religion, etc.) approach language through exercises of presentation, analysis and use of idiomatic expressions and common forms of spoken language; the intent here is to develop and improve the students' communicative abilities and to provide them with practical and authentic language tools.
