Angie Branaes grew up in Norway, lives in England, and spends her summers in Italy. In Italy, she realised that speaking Italian like a local was essential for daily life -- from chatting with the neighbours, to maintaining the house, and shopping at the market. Disappointingly, she found language apps too touristy, and books too complex and irrelevant for everyday situations.This sparked Angie's mission to create practical language books focused on the vocabulary needed for real-life interactions. Her books emphasise simple language and everyday phrases, empowering learners to communicate with confidence in any situation.

What has also been perceived as positive is the size and the layout of the book. It can be placed in a bag and taken anywhere, to the beach for example or whilst commuting to work or school and also does not give the perception of studying!""- Lest Scuola di Lingue, Barbarano, Italy Fabulous book filled with real life dialogues to build confidence as a foreign language speaker.
