Book Reviews of Italian: Lonely Planet Phrasebook

Book Review: Good if you are seriously trying to learn the language.
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is very compact and basically organized, however, for 2 weeks in Italy I really only needed to know about 10 key phrases. I wasn't able to use the book to talk to anyone, (no one has patience for that) I just used the book to master a few phrases leaving about 90% of the book unused. This book might have come in handy in a pinch if I had to communicate a lot with someone in Italian, but I didn't have to.
One more thing: it is imperetive that travelors learn key phrases in the language of the people were you are visiting. It will make your trip a lot smoother and frankly could help you avoid conflict. Learn to say "excuse me", "water", "Thank You", "Where", "WC/Toilet" and so forth. Often times, if you don't try to communicate in their language, they won't try to communicate in your language and you just come off as arrogant and hostile and this may anger them.

Summary of Italian: Lonely Planet Phrasebook

I thought I spoke Italian but the only thing I could think to describe the Sistine Chapel was 'Mamma mia!' Then I opened my phrasebook and entered a world beyond the Italy I though I knew.
