LEARN SICILIAN / 'MPARAMU LU SICILIANU
Presented by Prof. Gaetano Cipolla
This is the first comprehensive course in Sicilian designed ideally as a classroom textbook, but it will meet the needs of those who wish to learn the language by themselves. This book represents a total departure from other Sicilian grammars written in Sicily or in the United States, because it is not a reference book, but a teaching tool, created to develop a good Sicilian pronunciation and gain command of the language as well as of the culture of the island. The book contains readings on customs and traditions of Sicily, information on the major cities, on Sicilian poets and writers, attractions and daily living, as well as Sicilian proverbs, sayings and even tongue twisters. In short, the book is a complete course on Sicilian language and culture that all Sicilians and Sicilian Americans ought to own. The readings are very funny, easily understood, and very informative. They are written by Professor Gaetano Cipolla who has devoted his career to promoting a better understanding and appreciation of his homeland.
