About the Book

Naples is a city of soul, sun, and stories. To truly connect with its vibrant heart, you need more than just a guidebook; you need the language of its people. This book offers a unique window into the Neapolitan way of life through the power of storytelling, designed to take you from a curious beginner to a confident reader. This collection serves as an effective graded reader, meticulously structured to guide your learning process. The first ten stories are written at a CEFR A1 level, using simple sentence structures and essential vocabulary to build your foundation. As your confidence grows, the next ten stories advance to a CEFR A2 level, introducing slightly more complex narratives and grammar. The core of this learning experience is the parallel text format. By placing the Neapolitan story directly alongside the English translation, you can instantly understand the meaning of every phrase without the frustration of constantly flipping a dictionary. It is a seamless dual language method that keeps you immersed in the plot while you absorb the language naturally. Before you dive into the tales, a comprehensive introduction covers the Neapolitan alphabet and phonology to set you on the right path. To ensure you can speak with the famous musicality of Naples, every single line of the stories includes pronunciations with english letters, making reading aloud intuitive and easy. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with a key vocabulary section, isolating 20 essential words to reinforce your memory. Your journey begins with the A1 stories, capturing the humor and warmth of daily life. Start with The Morning Coffee, where a coffee lover faces a tragic caffeine-free morning, and smile at The Love Letter as a romantic gesture goes humorously wrong due to a mistaken floor. Join a desperate man in The Unlucky Fisherman who tries to fool his wife with store-bought sea bass, and watch a chef panic in The Perfect Pizza when a food critic rejects the city's staple ingredient. Laugh at domestic chaos in The Dog and the Ragu when a hungry pet ruins Sunday lunch, and ride along in The American Tourist where a taxi driver discovers his passenger is actually a long-lost cousin. Experience the stress of The New Car as a simple leak causes a meltdown, and feel the roller coaster of luck in The Lottery Ticket when a winning ticket turns out to be expired. Witness a romantic blunder in The Serenade at the Balcony involving a bucket of water, and sympathize with fashion pain in The New Shoes as a wedding guest loses her footwear. As you progress to the A2 section, the stories delve deeper into Neapolitan customs and irony. Meet The Curious Neighbor who mistakes a secret romance for a burglary, and see the irony in The Wrong Numbers when a lottery obsession leads to a mix-up. Hunt for riches in The Ancient Treasure only to find a legacy of family recipes, and solve a spooky mystery in The Ghost of the Shop that turns out to be a hungry cat. Warm your heart with The Secret Date where a husband and wife unknowingly plan the same surprise, and chuckle at The Switched Suitcase where a vacationer ends up with a child's homework. Sit down for Sunday at the Table to see how pasta resolves a family feud, and appreciate modern art in The Colored Boat where a flashy paint job saves an old vessel. Finally, witness a mother's prayers answered in unexpected ways in The Grace Received, and find comfort in a cold night with The Night Stop through a song by the sea. Immerse yourself in the culture, laugh at the twists, and master the language. This book is your key to the true spirit of Naples.
