stationed in italy, July 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Italian - English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)
I am currently stationed in Italy and I am taking Italian lessons through an Italian instructor. She advised me not to get this book because it has alot of words that are misspelled. Other than that the book is okay. But when you are learning a new language it is important to be able to pronounce them correctly. One letter off could mean something different for example casa is house, cassa is case or box, and caso is chance.

Un Libro Favoloso, January 18, 2000
This review is from: Italian - English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)
A fabulous italian dictionary that is extremely easy to use and is very helpful when looking for certain phrases or figures of speech! I took this book to Italy with me, and without it, I would have been utterly lost... wonderful book!

Poor choice!, June 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Italian - English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a poor choice for any concievable use. I have found it to lack appropriate translations and gives no aid in specifics of pronunciation. It is very minimalist, and seldom useful. I am going to try the Webster's next.
