You enjoy the challenge of looking up words you don't know in a dictionary.

I am a native Italian from the picturesque island of Sardinia.
My mission? Making language learningfun. As you immerse yourself in each game, you'll effortlessly absorb new Italian vocabulary, while also reinforcing words you may have learned before.
By integrating the words within a specific context, I have designed a learning environment that makes it easier for you to remember and apply your newly-acquired knowledge.
But I didn't stop there. I went above and beyond to ensure a comprehensive, well-rounded learning experience by grouping these puzzles into themed books.

My family and I love these puzzle books. We get to practice our Italian and learn (or remember) new words. I especially appreciate the variety in the types of puzzles. I can pick up the book and flip through the pages to find a puzzle that speaks to me. I live in the U.S. and the book arrived promptly and in great shape. Grazie mille per questi libri!
I bought this puzzle book for my partner who’s learning Italian.
He loves it and sometimes we even do the word searches together, it’s so much fun.
It’s a different way to learn Italian from the usual workbooks.
He says that it doesn’t feel like homework at all, and it’s a great way to pick up new Italian vocabulary 😊
Took it on vacation. It’s a great book. You’re doing a wonderful job. Please don’t take me off of your mailing list. I am a very early beginner at Italian and I’m actively trying to learn Italian because i I plan to live there with my daughter who’s already living there with her husband. I need all the help I can get 😊 very nice job on the book. I’d love to try the Italian – English book, but I really don’t think I’m ready for that yet. When I get better at Italian, I will. I really love your products but I do think I need to learn Italian a little bit more before I can put them fully to use. I’m only doing the word search right now but every little bit helps. Thank you again.
I am taking Beginning Italian but am between sessions. This book has been a fun way to stay involved with the language and learn new vocabulary. I enjoy the variety of activities and the fact that they are not huge time commitments.
We are moving to Italy and really working on our Italian. I purchased the puzzle book for my husband's birthday and he loves it! When he gets going he can't stop! This is going to be a wonderful and fun tool in helping us improve our skills. Grazie mille for this creative way to learn Italian!
Really fun to do and it improved my Italian vocabulary at the same time. Very much worth it for those with some knowledge of Italian hoping to learn more.
Both books - the World and the Family -are full of great vocabulary - so much work has gone into putting these together. I gifted one to an English friend who is s member of an Italian conversation class. He says they all love it!
Home and Family is the second of three books I bought recently from Play Italian. The book is packed with a great variety of puzzles which are all laid out clearly, one per page. As an intermediate learner of Italian I have found the puzzles to be both fun and challenging. The solutions at the back are most helpful! In a short time I have increased my vocabulary and knowledge of Italian thanks to this set of books - Grazie mille!
