Let's face it: you can't really learn Italian from grammar books. Conversation is the key to mastering a foreign language. In this book, you will find some typical conversations that Italians have when they meet someone, when they get up in the morning or go out for dinner; when they answer a phone call or book a room in a hotel. Real situations. Real reactions. Real phrases. Every conversation is followed by the English equivalents of the Italian key words and expressions used in the dialogues. Enjoy it ? and remember: we can't help gesticulating when we speak!
