Overview

Bentornato Welcome Back to Italian

La Mia Vita a Bologna is the second book in the Read Italian Without Guessing series. Marco's adventure continues in Bologna with Luna, Elena, Carlo, Sofia, Paolo, and Nonno Giuseppe.

If you completed La Mia Nuova Vita (A1.1), you are ready. This A1.2 reader completes your foundation and prepares you for CILS A1 / CELI Impatto A1 / PLIDA A1.

Read Without Guessing

This book uses interlinear Italian-English reading: English meaning appears directly with the Italian, so you understand the story while you read.

No guessing.
No dictionary.
Just reading.

Instead of stopping for a glossary, you keep your place, follow the story, and see how Italian works. Repeated words return until they feel familiar.

Why This Method Works
  • Every key word is supported: meaning is visible when you need it.
  • Reading flow stays smooth: no flipping, tapping, or interruption.
  • Vocabulary repeats naturally: daily words return across chapters.
  • Two modes build fluency: first interlinear, then Italian only.
What You Will Learn

Across 12 chapters, Marco explores daily life, family, home, work, shopping, caf s, weather, restaurants, Bologna neighborhoods, and a train trip to Rimini.

  • Introduce yourself: name, age, nationality, job, and city
  • Describe family, rooms, furniture, people, and routines
  • Tell time, discuss weather, compare places, and count to 100
  • Shop, order food, eat out, and travel by train
Grammar Made Clear

This level expands your A1 Italian with practical grammar used inside the story, not isolated drills.

  • Present tense: essere, avere, stare, andare, fare, volere, potere, dovere, bere
  • Regular verbs: -ARE, -ERE, -IRE, plus -isc- verbs
  • Daily patterns: reflexive verbs, possessives, c' /ci sono, place words
  • Useful structures: partitives, comparatives, weather, near future

You will learn approximately 400-500 Italian words, completing your A1 vocabulary foundation.
