Filled with creative activities and grammar-busting tactics, Grammar Buster equips foreign language learners with all the tools they need to learn the language, while still keeping them in their comfort zone. Not simply about grammar, Collins Grammar Buster is about transforming attitudes towards language learning. Conventional methods go out the window as learners are encouraged to "think outside the box," making it possible to master even the most challenging aspects of Italian grammar with a series of simple exercises. Rhymes and crosswords, mind maps and puzzles: these will not only dramatically improve written and spoken Italian but will increase learners' confidence when approaching grammar in the future. From complete beginner to intermediate learners, Grammar Buster is the ideal companion for any language course. Divided into 30 colorful units, it tackles one grammar point at a time, reinforcing the basic principles with Tony Buzan's famous memory techniques and handy verb wheel to ensure that they are firmly fixed in your mind.

Review:

Reviews of Collins Language Revolution: Beginner "I am astonished and proud to say that I feel I have a good grasp of Italian and can speak comfortably on everyday subjects. I find that the vocabulary I'm looking for seems to pop up in my head rather than deliberately absent itself as it has done in the past." The Times, Body & Soul "This is a great, fun way to learn. What makes it different is the interactive side; there is more to do and more of an opportunity to use creativity. I'll definitely use Mind Maps in future for learning any other languages I decide to study." The Times, Body & Soul "This really does do what it says on the box. It teaches you French that you really remember. Forget all these other courses, go for this one! I couldn't recommend it more." Amazon reviewer
