Customer Reviews

Easy Italian Phrase Book
As a teacher of Italian language and literature, I was quite impressed by this little book. The phrases, transliterated for those who do not know Italian pronunciation, are those you will use if you are traveling to Italy or teaching the language. There was a surprising amount of information in this book, which was well worth its low price. I suggest you purchase some other titles if you are traveling to Italy, as it does not contain an exhaustive listing of Italian conversational terms, but it makes a valuable contribution.

The Best Buy for Italy
I bought all kinds of books, maps and even an electronic translator for my travels. I am not joking when I say this was the one item that was most helpful, easy and fun to use.

Pretty bare bones phrase book
This was the cheapest phrase book that I saw offered on Amazon.com and, as trite as it is, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for the most basic of interactions with Italian speakers and are only planning on staying in tourist hotels and shopping in tourist markets, then this might suffice. However, if you are planning to interact with native Italian speakers in a less superficial way, or if you want to be able to express yourself with somewhat more sophistication, I would recommend another phrase book.
