Great Italian phrasebook. Fits in a shirt pocket. Like all the DK books, this one is well formatted and well thought out, with good graphics and fonts and layout that are easy to read in all sorts of lighting conditions (like a restaurant, or a train car at night).
This book alone is a great beginner's course in Travel Italian. Read it cover to cover first, and you'll be surprisingly well equipped to communicate and understand once you arrive.
A great little guide, much more than just a simple phrasebook, and a great choice. Mine's been enormously helpful, and there's nothing about it I would change.
Hope this is helpful. Enjoy Italy!

Very helpful.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2005
This little book helped us get through our trip to Sicily. The menu and driving sections were of the most use. When we used the book, most people understood us since there is a phonetic guide under each phrase. The only thing I noticed is that there are probably some dialectical variations in Sicily because certain words or phrases were not understood when we used them. It could have been our pronunciation too, I can't rule that out! It is small and compact too, so you can be discreet if needed.

Really helped when traveling
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2009
this little book (ideal size for travel)seems to have an easy way to find words in Italian to make yourself comfortable moving about small villages where English speakers may not be found. Haven't used it yet but we anticipate good things.

I bought this a few years ago when we visited Sicily. It came in very handy and we used it the whole week as well as reading it before we arrived there. Would recommend.
