As society becomes more international in nature, knowing a few words in other languages has become more useful. Perhaps you travel frequently abroad, or your business requires you to travel overseas. Perhaps you have friends and neighbors who speak other languages, or you want to find out more about your heritage by learning a little bit of the language your ancestors spoke. Whatever your reason for wanting to learn some Italian, Italian For Dummies is the right book for you. Written in partnership with Berlitz – experts in helping people learn foreign languages – this book gives you the skills you need for basic communication in Italian, and it will get you well on your way to becoming fluent. Just think what you′re family and friends will think when you order off the menu at your favorite Italian restaurant! Italian For Dummies covers not only ordering at an Italian restaurant, but also these topics: Basic spelling, grammar, and numbers Meeting and greeting, and making small talk Shopping, shopping, and even more shopping Going out on the town Business situations Traveling, checking into a hotel, and planning a trip Handling emergencies Top Ten lists with advice on how to pick up Italian quickly, things you should never say in Italian, and favorite Italian expressions The best thing about this book is that you can learn at your own pace; for example, if you′re planning a trip to Italy next year, sit down once or twice a week with this book and go through the chapters that you′ll think you need for your trip. That′s a lot easier than dragging yourself to a class twice a week – not to mention a lot more fun, too!

I have bought several Italian language products from books to CD's and this little book is by far the best of all! Very easy to comprehend and learn at your pace. Well organized, with emphasis on most important aspects of the language pointed out very clearly. I love this book for learning Italian for my travel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon at it's best

I wanted this book for a long time because I think it does a great job in teaching people the language in the most effective way. But please be careful when buying the used version because it might not have a CD. I had this problem when I bought the book from a third party supplier so I wanted to return the book but the supplier never got back to me. Amazon did a really good job in responding to my complaint about the supplier. They refunded me the money and told me to keep the book if the supplier doesn't get back since I wasn't sure where and who to return the book to. I recommend the book and I think Amazon is the best place to buy it from. Very good prices for a very good book.
