The book has really short stories, and important words and phrases are boldfaced. After the story, there's a short recap and a translation of the boldfaced words, followed by a questionnaire where you choose the correct answer. The concept is really good; the stories are written the way everyday italians speak (i.e. mio padre entra in camera mia, vs. mio padre entra nella mia camera, which is how you would learn it in Duolingo, both correct but here you learn to think and speak like a native.)
