1.0 out of 5 stars Not useful, May 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
I love Rick Steves, but this book is too broken up into categories to use very well. We read all the great reviews on this prior to our trip and bought it - mistake. Any time we wanted to look up a word it wasn't in there (first example coming to mind, BLACK! - it was in the Italian to English, but you'd have to be translating that direction only). It's good for a laugh and has funny translations, like slow down the car or i will vomit, but realistically, will you really use that (OK, in Italy if not elsewhere, but it's not something you'd look up at that moment feeling that way). Impractical is the best description of this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A sense of humour and this book will help get you through Italy, April 15 2009
This review is from: Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary (Paperback)
I bought this book for my recent trip to Italy. It was great to have at hand those little phrases that can get you a meal, pay a bill, order a taxi etc. It was also a bonus to be able to figure out what I was ordering as the extensive menu de-coder is great. I would recommend it for anyone who would like that little extra help in a country where you don't speak the language. I personally liked the phrase that allowed you to tell a taxi driver he drove like Mario Andretti. It seemed to translate as a great compliment. It won't make you fluent, but at least you can order lunch, catch a train, and, most importantly, find a bathroom with some assurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to say - and more, Jun 1 2004

This review is from: Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
Of course, it has the obvious phrases regarding directions, hotel rooms, food, etc. It also has things you really need to say, but that aren't found in standard phrase books. For example, in the "Taxi" section, you can quickly find out how to tell the driver, "If you don't slow down, I will vomit!" There is just enough humor to keep you smiling without wasting your time, and succintly hepful comments throughout. This is the phrase book to get for your next trip to Italy.
