Universo Italiano Books and Book Series

About our publications

We are passionate about our Italian heritage and want to help others in their endeavors. I know in my own experience it was difficult to find support materials to learn the language for me or my kids in a fun, enjoyable and effective way!

So, my native Italian husband and I started creating our own children’s books. And as for me as an adult, there came a point where it was difficult to find material at the level I needed. I wasn’t a beginner, but wasn’t yet at a point that I could comfortably read and/ or stay interested in complex books written entirely for native speakers; I was squarely intermediate.

We know how difficult it can be to find learning materials that are effective, genuinely enjoyable. and more engaging than a traditional textbook. That’s where we saw a need we could fill and what made us decide to add books for intermediate learners. Of course we aren’t the only books available, but we tried to make ours unique, coming from a student and a native speaker working together to create a unique synergy with cutting-edge features to keep you engaged, and your journey supported.

We have books of varying ages, levels and styles with the higher levels having increased support materials (such as transcripts, glossaries and video dialogues on each chapter), to really keep it fun and engaging. Learning becomes a byproduct of this fun experience!

We will be adding new volumes as well as other offerings for all ages. Tune back in for more!

This guessing game format not only makes learning Italian interactive and fun but also supports cognitive development while providing a contextual understanding of the language- in the most natural way possible.
