YES IT IS
by Giorgio Comaschi, Paolo Muran
"lf Michele is an Italian boy who doesn't know English and Shanti an English girl who doesn't know Italian, an unscalable wall can grow up between them. So, the problem is.- if you should learn English in the environment, if you know English - but only at a school level, if you speak English and don't understand it or if you understand it and don't speak it, if they help you, if it's enough to speak using gestures, if a course on tape would help, if the 'book' is or isn't 'on the table'…" (Giorgio Comaschi e Paolo Muran)
