Why not Assimil, may I ask?
Surely there'd be French and Spanish books designed for an Italian audience, no? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Since Spanish and french are so close to Italian , i plan to get into real content in about 2 months , i think
assiml is a better investment for more difficult languages . 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There must be something in Italian which caters for this.
Would it be ill-advised to jump straight into native material, mastering everything (phonology, vocabulary, syntax etc.) along the way? Let's hope another native Romance speaker can help you out instead of a native English speaker who thinks he knows everything. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There are some great - cheesy, but great - video courses from the early 90s for both Spanish and French. They're
available for free online. I went through all 52 episodes of Destinos, and it really helped me progress in Spanish. Destinos (Spanish) French in Action 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There are many more resources. I'd suggest you looked at the Italian based ones as well. They might help you use your native language advantage much better than English based ones.
Other than that, there is a lot more. Some of the monolingual courses aren't bad, if you are willing to use a dictionary right from the beginning. Alter Ego does have good follow up volumes, even though the first one or two are quite the standard you can find among works by the French publishers. But you might like to use the Grammaire progressive and Vocabulaire progressif among your sources as more than just a supplement to anything else. And you don't need the same approach as if you were learning a totally unrelated language as you have already got a lot of passive knowledge for free. I think you might actually totally skip the textbooks as your native language. Perhaps you might profit the best from a book and its audiobook. Not necessarily the full LR method but intuitive work with such a combination might be an awesome way into the language. 1 person has voted this message useful |
