What it actually is
If you take a course in Italy or at an Italian cultural institute, this is very likely the book on the desk: communicative units, audio, and a workbook in one volume per level, with an access code for the digital edition. Monolingual by design, so it pushes you to think in Italian from lesson one. That also makes it harder to use alone at A1 without a teacher or a video course alongside — pair it with Rai Scuola or ALMA TV.
