I'm Italian and got this book for my English partner who wish to practice his Italian. The book has a nice chapter on pronunciation and several prepared sentences that are supposed to be useful in every day life...of a student visiting Italy for the very first time. It's good if you have others book to rely on, but if you wish to use just one book and you're not a student, I'd look for something else.

This was a very helpful read on the plane to Rome, we used a handful of phrases from the book whilst there and found it helpful to understand some of the written signs around Rome. Would recommend for anyone who cannot speak Italian

I love the layout of the book and the chapters are set for everyday use. Easy to refer to. Not small enough for a hand bag but a medium size bag will be just the trick.

Quite a good phrase book but could be a bit better

Good

This book is false advertising - it is clearly done using Google translate or AI. Best case scenario, it was poorly proofread before publication. It includes 'translations' for such phrases as "Can you take the head for the soup?" (pg.55, total nonsense in English and the Italian translation actually means 'have you decided on the soup') and "I want to exchange dollars for yen" (pg.116, will be very useful in Italy, which obviously uses the Euro). I have no confidence that any of these translations or pronunciations are accurate - do not waste your money, time, or luggage space on this book.

Lingo Mastery continues its highly successful mission – to make Italian more accessible to a wider population. In the Introductory Note the goal is stated well: ‘If you have finally decided to visit one of the most beautiful countries in the world, then you can’t help but consider the words, phrases, ways of saying that you will use in certain situations, which you must know before leaving. Thanks to this book, we will see how to deal with many situations that can be simple, complicated, funny or even not funny at all. All those real situations that a tourist will experience when, for example, they want to drink a coffee, order a good amatriciana, or simply tell the waiter what they have just eaten has not been to their liking…Most of the time, a translation with the vocabulary at your fingertips is the best solution and therefore, why not take precautions and study a few phrases that could amaze your fellow travelers or you interlocutors?’ What follows, before the phrases placed here to learn, is a fine lesson in pronunciation of vowels, consonants, and then the supply of valuable lessons begins – colors, numbers, medical, ordering food, emergency, apologies, the weather, hotel, directions – all spelled out in accessible format with Italian to English translation to correct pronunciation for learning. And so it proceeds with one of the more accessible adjuncts to mastering the Italian vocabulary in a manner that places words in context and thus – easy to remember! The technique is solid and the lessons well taught. This is a very fine introduction to Italian, appropriate for all age levels, Grady Harp, February 20
