Simple reading in Italian for beginners

“Delitti di Mare” includes five crime short stories that you can read in any order. Each page of text includes an explanation of difficult vocabulary in the footnotes. However, words that are similar to English are left out for the sake of simplicity. If needed, you can find a list of all vocabulary words in the book with the corresponding English translation, eliminating the need for a dictionary while reading.

The exercises at the end of each text review important beginning-level Italian vocabulary and grammar structures (corresponding to level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). They allow you to immediately train and consolidate the knowledge you have refreshed. The solutions to all exercises can be found in the appendix.
