Italian lesson?   2010-05-27
By Mary H. Caracoza (Alta Loma, CA)
This is a good book but I found it more helpful to listen to the phrases and read them so I purchased a book with a few chapters on a CD.
Good Stuff!   2009-09-26

Very impressed with this little book, just the right size, very practical, very user friendly, good for beginningers - one of the best phrase books available in the market right now.
Low phrase count makes product nearly useless   2009-08-28
By Charles Mason Shunk Jr.
The title promises 770 basic phrases. Easily three quarters or more of these "phrases" are simply the same phrase repeated, with only a word or two difference. An example from page 34: Phrase #424 is "I should like to have [some cake]." Phrases 425 - 430 then tell you how to say you want pie, cheese, cookies, custard, chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream. Hm, couldn't I just have consulted a pocket dictionary? Meanwhile, the section on "Difficulties and Repairs", (i.e. situations where you might really need a phrase book), there are a mere 13 phrases! I found this book nearly useless for my purposes. There aren't nearly enough phrases to rely on the book as an on-the-spot, pocket communication tool, largely because it substitutes too much vocabulary for phraseology. And yet it doesn't have nearly enough vocabulary to make me feel like I could get away without having a pocket dictionary.
Extremely helpful   2009-05-28

Haven't gone to Italy yet but will this summer....this book is easy to understand and has all the right phrases I will need to get by and then some.
Not The Best   2009-03-28
By STEVEN DEFALCO (Bloomfield, NJ)
Each phrase has a "pronunciation" after it. Very confusing and some aren't even correct. The book would come in handy if you visit Italy and already know some Italian...other than that, it's not for someone that doesn't know any Italian at all.
