Review:
“Its strength lies in its ability to bridge the gap between first year textbooks and a more advanced intermediate level. It has a jovial quality, a freshness and playfulness that make it an engaging tool that enables to create a dynamic classroom environment.”
“...the two Grammatica sections are extremely effective as they allow to introduce sections of the vocabulary more systematically and with immediate reinforcement.”
“I like very much the reading selections, the level is appropriate and effective for writing and conversation skill development.”
“CF is a creative, thorough, and culturally up-to-date textbook with excellent communicative activities and a strong grammar focus.”
