This guide is geared toward parents and caretakers who want to give their child the gift of the Italian language but they don't know how to go about doing it. Most Italian classes and workbooks are geared toward the traveler and teach how to find a train, where to eat, how to order, how to exchange money. However, parents need to know an entirely different set of information. This guide provides a compilation of resources to jump-start your journey into the Italian language with your baby including: common parenting phrases, applicable vocabulary for babies and toddlers based on age-appropriate activities, book and audio-visual recommendations, and most importantly where to go when you need more resources on your journey. Everything you need to get yourself organized and dive right in to the Italian language!
