Use the Nuovo CILS series (by Simone Scafi) – it offers slightly better explanations for self-study than the standard "Quaderni." These are exercise books designed to prepare students

Most versions include an answer key in the back, allowing self-study. This is rare for official exam prep materials, which often require a teacher’s guide. You must hunt for the audio files separately

Unlike academic textbooks, these levels focus on real-life tasks: filling out a hotel form, reading a train timetable, ordering food, or writing a short postcard. This is very practical for beginners.

Even if the PDF doesn't come with the MP3 files (a common issue with pirated PDFs), it includes the transcripts. You can use these to practice reading comprehension or to have a friend/teacher read the listening parts aloud. Cons ❌ 1. No Grammar Explanations This is a practice book, not a textbook. If you don't know the difference between passato prossimo and imperfetto (for A2), or how to conjugate andare (A1), this book will not teach you. You need a companion grammar book (e.g., Nuovo Espresso , Una grammatica italiana per tutti ).
