Summary: Great Italian quick guide! 2010-07-22
Comment: Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book is a great quick guide resource to learn the basics in Italian. If you are looking for a book that's small enough to take along with you on a trip to Italy, this is the book for you. The book is split up into easy to find sections with common and not so common phrases that are easy to follow and learn. I'm using this guide along with a selection of Italian Phrase Podcasts that I downloaded to help me learn enough Italian to make my way around Italy on my next trip this year.
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Very Helpful! 2010-07-13
Comment: Wow! I bought this book because I thought it would be good to have while traveling to various cities throughout Italy. I was surprised how much I actually had to use it! This book is organized very simply and I was able to have decent conversations with non-English speakers rather efficiently.

If you're "on the fence" about purchasing this book, get it! You WILL end up using it at some point.
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Phrases Galore! 2010-06-26
Comment: The way the phrases are sectioned by activity is a great help! When I'm at the train station or airport there is a section perfect to assist me. When I'm shopping in the plaza, I can get to what I need in a hurry. When I'm at the restaurant and want to verify what I'm ordering, that too can be found easily.

Rick Steve even tells you numbers, money, time, days of the week, months, and even some common verbs and their conjugations. This really is the hitch hikers guide to italian phrases. If you're planning a trip and want to prepare, or even if you have no time and are using this only as a pocket companion, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Useful and fun to read 2010-06-24
Comment: Purchased this guide with the other Rick Steves guides for Italy (Venice, Rome, Cinque Terre & Almafi Coast) and found it to be very useful while we were on vacation. It has the phrases you need to know (vino della casa rosso) with pronunciation and then some phrases that are just funny. It was also very useful for interpreting the menu (for things other than pasta). I highly recommend.
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: This will help me tremendously 2010-05-28
Comment: I am hoping to go to Italy later this year. This book is a MUST if you cannot speak Italian. It is easy to phonetically speak the words and phrases. It is categorized according to specific topics such as traveling, money, how to check into a hotel etc.
