Highlight or underline unknown words, phrases or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases and write them down in a notebook or on flashcards to help you remember them later. Use the translations to read the story one final time. This allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations and explanations. 5 minute Italian short stories for beginners This book includes 25 short stories which cover everyday topics.
