The Penguin Italian Phrasebook

Fourth Edition

About the Book

A stylish, pocket-size phrasebook perfect for business travelers, backpackers, sightseers, and anyone who wants to keep their Italian close at hand
 
Penguin’s Italian phrasebook includes a wealth of useful words and expressions essential to travelers of all kinds, spelled out phonetically and arranged in sections to help you deal with specific situations and needs as they arise. After a primer on basic grammar and a quick pronunciation guide, you’ll find statements and questions like:
 
• Does the hotel have wi-fi? L’albergo ha il sistema wi-fi? (lal-bair-go a eel see-ste-ma wi-fi)
• My luggage is lost. I miei bagagli si sono persi. (ee myay ba-gal-yee see so-no pair-see)
• How much does the tour cost? Quanto costa il giro? (kwan-to kos-ta eel jee-ro)
• May I see the wine list, please? Posso vedere la lista dei vini, per favore? (pos-so ve-dair-eh la lees-ta day vee-nee, pair fa-vor-eh)
• Does anyone speak English? Qualcuno parla inglese? (kwal-koo-no par-la een-gle-zeh)
 
Some of the Italian phrases are marked with an asterisk, giving an indication of the kind of reply you might get to your questions, and of questions you may be asked in turn.
 
With an elegant cover and easy-to-read design that are the hallmarks of Penguin Books, this essential reference will have you feeling at home no matter where your travels take you.
