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.
I’m happy I got this book and would buy it again
Son was so into his new language class in school, he wanted this book. He absolutely loves it and takes the time to use Italian words in regular conversation.
I was hopeful that this book would give me the essential phrases we would need when visiting Italy. Unfortunately, I found only a few helpful pages.
Very helpful
Useful.
Easy to use and some useful language for those of us who didn't learn from Noni and Papa.
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!
