This review is from: Rick Steves’ Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
After several trips to Italy with only a few words in my Italian vocabulary, I decided to get this little guide to give myself more confidence. I find the language is not quite so difficult as I thought and this book helps with the most common situations that travelers must confront. I’m looking forward to trying out my new vocabulary on my next trip to Italy.

This review is from: Rick Steves’ Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
This little booklet provides the appropriate phrases for every conceivable situation; written with Rick Steves’ customary humor.
Among many helpful phrases, I’m not likely to forget how to tell a taxi driver to “slow down or I’m going to throw up.” lol This covers EVERYTHING. and the booklet is small, making it easy to lug around. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 0

This review is from: Rick Steves’ Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
This book covers every item and topic you can think of. Will be very useful for ordering meals and figuring out what something says. The cheat sheet in the back of Rick Steves’ Italy 2014 is what I plan to use first, and use this to figure out things that require more in-depth information.
