No. First Italian Words for Kids is a digital activity book supplied as printable PDF files. No physical book will be shipped.
What is included in the download?
The download contains four printable PDF files. The activity book is supplied in both A4 and US Letter formats, with a complete black-and-white edition and an edition featuring a colour cover and black-and-white interior pages for each paper size.

How many pages are included?
First Italian Words for Kids includes 56 printable activity pages featuring vocabulary, colouring, tracing, matching, counting and early language activities.
What age is the book suitable for?
The activities are designed primarily for children aged 4–7. Younger children may need support from an adult, especially when reading instructions, cutting out flashcards or using the QR code. Older beginners can also use the book to discover their first Italian words.
Does my child need to speak Italian already?
No. The book is designed for complete beginners. Italian words are supported by clear pictures, English meanings, simple activities and pronunciation recorded by a native Italian speaker, allowing children to learn one word at a time.
What kinds of activities are included?
The book combines colouring, tracing, matching, counting, vocabulary review, numbers from one to ten, flashcards and other playful activities. It is designed to help children see, hear, say and remember their first Italian words without introducing complex grammar.

Your secure download link is valid for 30 days and allows up to five downloads for each available format. We recommend saving the files to your device after downloading them.

What do I need to open the files?
You need a device that can download and open PDF files, a current web browser or PDF reader, and a compatible printer if you want to print the activities. Internet access is also required to download the files and use the Audio Library.
What paper size should I use?
What paper size should I use?
The download includes both A4 and US Letter files. A4 is the standard format for the United Kingdom and most European countries. Choose the version that matches the paper size and settings used by your printer.
Do I need to print the entire book?
No. You can print the complete book or select only the pages and activities you want to use.
Can I print the book more than once?
Yes. You may print multiple copies for members of your household. If you are a teacher, you may also print copies for students in one class that you teach directly.
What paper and print settings do you recommend?
Standard printer paper works well with crayons and coloured pencils. Heavier paper may be more suitable for felt-tip pens or cut-out activities. Select the PDF that matches your paper size, check the print preview and print one test page before printing the complete book. Results may vary depending on your printer and settings.
How do I access the audio?
Scan the QR code inside the activity book using a smartphone or tablet. If your access needs to be verified, enter the email address used for the purchase and follow the secure access link sent to you. You can then choose a category, select a word and press play.
Is access to the Audio Library included in the price?
Yes. Access to the complete Audio Library is included in the purchase price. There is no additional subscription fee.
Does access to the Audio Library expire?
The Audio Library is provided without a predetermined expiry date. The web address, interface or access method may change over time, but legitimate purchasers will continue to be provided with a reasonable way to access the audio content included with their purchase.
How many times can we listen to the words?
You can play the audio as many times as you wish. Children can listen, repeat each word aloud and return to the corresponding activity in the book.
Is the pronunciation recorded by a real person?
Yes. Every word is recorded by a real native Italian speaker. The Audio Library does not use an AI-generated voice.
Why is only one word available on the public Audio Library page?
The public Audio Library page includes a free pronunciation sample, allowing you to hear how the audio works before purchasing. The complete Audio Library is reserved for customers who purchase First Italian Words for Kids.
Can teachers use the book in a classroom?
Yes. One teacher may use the book with one class that they teach directly and may print copies for the students in that class. A separate licence is required for use by additional teachers, classes, schools or organisations.
Can I share the PDF or Audio Library access with someone else?
No. The digital files, secure links and Audio Library access credentials are personal and must not be forwarded, published or shared outside your household or authorised single classroom.
Can I sell or redistribute the files or printed pages?
No. Your purchase provides a limited licence for personal, household or authorised single-classroom use. The digital files and printed pages must not be sold, redistributed, republished, uploaded online or used to create products for resale.
