How about learning one of the most interesting languages in the world?

This book is all about teaching beginners the Italian language so that they can improve their vocabulary and become more adept at speaking and writing in Italian.

One of the first things that people ask whenever they attempt to learn a new language is: "IS IT EASY?" And in this case, the simple answer would be YES. Whilst Italian has many different dialects, unique accents, and words that might seemingly be too complicated to pronounce, once you get the basics down-it should be very easy for you to continue and learn the rest.

Yes, it can be daunting at first, but trust me when I say that this book will help make things much easier for the beginner to digest. I have outlined the basics as well as more advanced phrases that you can use, not just during travels but also if you intend to become more fluent with the language. Consider this your gateway into becoming a more adept Italian speaker.

We begin with learning more about the Italian language. It comes from one of the most interesting cultures in the worlds so learning more about its origins and history will be a good first step into the language itself.

Next, we go through the different everyday phrases you can use. In this book, I have provided you with the formal and informal versions of certain key phrases--- making sure that you're always speaking appropriately whether you're talking to someone older than you or someone much younger. This is essential and many beginners tend to forget that when using a foreign language, manners is still very important.

Moving beyond the usual greetings and conversation starters, I have also provided you with plenty of phrases that you can use whilst tasting Italy's world-renowned dishes. From ordering your food at restaurants to giving compliments to the chef. We also tackle the different varieties of meats, wines, and dishes so you know exactly what you're ordering.

After that, we tackle how to navigate the city. Whether you're walking from one tourist spot to another or driving around to appreciate more of the views, you'll find plenty of useful phrases that should help guide you through your trip. I have also provided you with the necessary conversation keys to help you when it comes to finding or checking into your accommodation. Remember, not all of the establishments in Italy have English speakers in their staff so knowing bits of the local language should help move things along much smoother.

I have also listed all the essential shopping phrases-from guiding you on how to find the right items you want to bargain for the prices. You'll find all of the key phrases you need within this book. The same goes if you ever find yourself in an emergency during your trip. Many people tend to forget the importance of knowing health and medical related phrases-but not this book I want to make sure that you're armed with all the essentials.

Lastly, we have a mini introductions to the 4 most popular dialects in the Italian language: Venetian, Florentine, Neapolitan, and Romanesco. This way, wherever you might find yourself in the country, you'll be able understand and also be understood by the locals.

After all, traveling is best done when you're as immersed in the local culture instead of remaining a foreigner to it. The same can be said for learning a language; be one with the culture and you'll learn much, much quicker
