 Best Italian Phrase Book Available - Even Better With Behind the Wheel Italian December 17, 2008
Rick Steve's is 'right on' with his Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary. I actually used this book on my trip to Italy last summer and I loved it.
I learned to speak Italian by using Behind the Wheel - Italian 1 CDs on my commutes to work and while jogging.
I recommend you buy both because they work so well together.
This Italian phrase book works October 13, 2008
This Italian phrase book offers far more than it promises, is easy to use, and quickly seems to offer precise solutions to the problem of the moment, whatever it may be. My wife and I made extensive use of it.
A lifesaver! September 1, 2008
I don't speak any Italian, so this guidebook was a bit of a lifesaver. I don't like to refer to books when I'm trying to experience the culture, but it was nice to be able to review this at the end of the day or in the morning before we started the day. I tried to learn a few important phrases and feel my way through the rest. We visited Venice, and most people in Venice do speak English. While I can confidently speak French, Italian is quite different (more akin to Spanish). I love the pronunciation guides; they were most helpful.
Everything you need to travel to Italy August 10, 2008
Has all the phrases you could ever want/need while traveling to Italy! The phrases are written in both English and Italian and include phonetic pronunciations for each word and phrase.
I would highly recommend buying this for your travels to Italy.
