Italian (Globetrotter in Your Pocket) - Softcover

Globetrotter's "In Your Pocket" series features easy-to-use phrase books complemented by two-way dictionaries. Each book includes a section on etiquette that gives a few pointers on the customs and manners of the people in question - in this case, the Italians - together with information on the differences between some of the nations that speak the language. The phrase book section offers enough basic grammar to get you talking, and understanding, the language, together with a handy guide to pronunciation. It is arranged by subject matter, and features useful phrases for specific situations. The categories are: booking hotel accommodation; ordering a meal in a restaurant; shopping and managing money matters; transport options; sightseeing and activities; and matters of health and safety. The dictionary is divided into English to Italian, and Italian to English and the books are colour coded and enhanced by illustrations.

Inside this handy, pocket-size guide book you will find useful phrases for specific situations, from booking a hotel room to finding a hospital; a handy two-way dictionary that will help you understand as well as being understood.
The guide also includes basic grammar, pronunciation, etiquette and general information about different Italian-speaking countries.
