Easy Italian Phrase Book: Over 770 Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Language Guides Italian)

Great little book!!! Perfect for what I was looking for. Just simple and practical phrases to get around Italy. Easy to understand and follow!

Handy little book when you don't speak the language and need to get around

This book contains the essentials. It is divided into categories so you can locate the phrases quickly.It will not make you an expert but was perfectly adequate for my 16 day vacation trip to Italy.

It is helpful

As some other reviewers noted, this book was first published in the 1950s! So, while it provides handy references for things that don't change (numbers, months, seasons, food, and how to say Happy Birthday) it only gets 3 stars due to some of its more dated references.Do I really need to know how to ask for nylon stockings these days? Or for camera film? Or how long it will take for the telegram to arrive? Or how to avoid starch at the dry cleaners?So for the low price, you get a small, light reference book, although expect the old 'newspaper-like' paper. It's just not a very compelling book, albeit only a couple of dollars.

Me ayuda a aprender italiano y a la vez ingles

I am planning a trip to Italy later this year, and wanted something that would give me the basics to get around - this booklet will do that. Not a lot of frills, you may need to get a basic CD if you have difficulty sounding out words from the phonetics (although this book does a good job of explaining them).If you jump in and just read, you will likely retain very little, but if you pick it up and just try to learn a few then put it down, with repetition, you will be able to do ok. Also, with the booklet being so handy to carry, you can also refer to it quickly in whatever situation you find yourself in, as it is easily indexed for reference.I am happy to have purchased this book!

I bought this guide because I will be taking an Italian vacation in April’24. Although nothing beats hearing the language first hand, this guide is a very convenient reference for basic Italian conversation. The book is organized well and includes phonetic pronunciation. I would recommend for someone who does not rely on a smart Phone for everything and anything.
