Product Description:
Italian Survival Guide is a down-to-earth, bare-bones introduction to Italian that aims to make a trip abroad as smooth and enjoyable as possible. This information-packed mini-course concentrates on preparing readers to travel in Italy in a limited time by focusing on what is most useful or interesting to travelers and cutting out unnecessary vocabulary and grammar. This Survival Guide helps readers communicate in the Italian language and culture. It prepares travelers for what to expect and how to deal with it, what to say and when to say it. It's like three books in one--a phrase book (so you know what to say), a grammar book (so you know how to say it), and a culture book (so you understand daily social expectations)--all focused on a traveler's needs. Learn how to greet people and introduce yourself in Italian, how to line up lodging, order food and pay properly, how to shop and ask for directions in Italian, how to drive a car or take the train in Italy, how to get help in an emergency or talk about your family or discuss the weather, and much, much more! Get key insights into Italian social conventions: how to talk to people, how to avoid taboo subjects, how not to look like a tourist, how to tip, how to have good table manners, how to be a gracious guest, how to discourage unwanted admirers, how to overcome poor customer service, how to avoid petty crime. Discover the fine points of city buses, grocery stores, train stations and coffee shops. Read how to achieve la bella figura--the style and classiness Italians prize. Learn gestures and geography and how to pronounce Giorgio. Italian Survival Guide is packed with culture notes, study tips, travel hints, and reality checks galore. It includes optional exercises for practicing material from the lessons, Italian-English and English-Italian dictionaries, and inside-the-cover Survival Summaries travelers can use on the spot. In addition, Italian pronunciations are written throughout the book, so users always have guidance on how to pronounce new words and phrases. Includes an extensive index to help readers find the topics they want, fast. All this packed into one volume small enough to tuck into a bag and take along. |

Product Description:
Ranked first in About.com Italy's Top Ten Travel Guides, the highly portable Italy: Instructions for Use is the only handbook concentrates solely on the practical aspects of Italian travel. With revisions for 2007 that include a larger typeface, it keeps all the insider info that other guides have neither the space nor expertise to provide at your fingertips...without weighing you down. Written by an American who lives in Venice, organizes traveler's time there, and is fluent in the language, Italy: Instructions for Use foregoes dense destination descriptions. A concise, in-depth, palm-sized compendium containing all the information that's impossible to memorize as you prepare, (and that would make no sense without an Italian frame of reference) it instead provides expert answers to the questions that occur as you travel, at the moment you need them. An elegant, color-illustrated guide designed for easy reference, it's packed with the most current, pertinent advice available. Updates include revised information on trains, cell phoning, and more. No matter what your destination, you'll find info on: . Eating, drinking, ordering, tipping
. Driving, including color road sign illustrations)
. Phoning (local, international and cell calls) and getting online
. the Italian train system
. Shopping, shipping, VAT refunds
. Vocabulary in context, Italian to English, and vice-versa
. Tourist information
. Keys to language pronunciation
. Extensive appendix and index Attractive as it is useful, Italy: Instructions for Use is indispensable, ideal companion to any destination guide. Read the Instructions before you go (perhaps a page or two each night), scan it again on the plane, and then keep it in your handiest pocket to consult for every what-now travel situation. And remember: when all else fails, read the Instructions! |
