Great Book! Better With Behind the Wheel Italian!
I love Rick Steve's travel programs and now especially his Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary.
What I most like is the practicality of the vocabulary, and the easy-to-access phrases that every traveler to Italy needs most.
Alone, Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary is a great bargain, loaded with useful information.
I have personally supplemented this phrase book with a fabulous Italian audio course called Behind the Wheel Italian. Behind the Wheel - Italian 1
They work beautifully together since the categories are similar and the CDs teach you how to form sentences.

Exactly what I needed
Have traveled to Italy several times, and always wanted something fast and easy to learn some key phrases while
flying over the pond.

This Italian phrase book works
This Italian phrase book offers far more than it promises, is easy to use, and quickly seems to offer precise solutions to the problem of the moment, whatever it may be. My wife and I made extensive use of it.
