It's not the Italian you learned in high school. Learn the lingo on love, sex, extreme sports, fashion, gossip, partying and much more. Also exposed in "Hide This Book" are hilarious mishaps, social trends, and cool cultural features. Thermometers indicate how “hot” language is, so you know when an expression is totally offensive, completely inappropriate and downright nasty! Hear the foreign language online, or download the audio to you iPod® or MP3 player. Entertaining as well as enlightening, this is one language reference you'll enjoy reading cover to cover.

Another in a great series of street language books.

ByRandolph W. Lievertzon December 22, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is another in a series of books that consists of one in each language. I find them particulary useful to learn the street language and to recognize the occasional insult thrown my way. This book also helps if you visit a pub or bar, especially if you meet a potential lover there (or elsewhere). This book definitely helps you to round out your language skills and go above & beyond the "proper" words you learn while studying or reviewing your new language.

Fantastic!

ByOutlawPoetTOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon January 1, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is indeed a fantastic little book. It contains all the colloquial Italian you could need for a short visit or even a long stay in Italy. I just returned from a langauge school in Rome and I wish I had this book with me. It's Italian as the natives speak it - not as they teach you in school. I found a lot of phrases I had to discover on my own from Italian friends.

One warning - If you are a complete beginner, this book does not contain pronunciation guides for the words/phrases. You'll want to supplement this with a beginning Italian text that includes basic pronunciation. Otherwise, this book is a dream!

I love all of the "Hide This" books

ByShannon Quinnon October 30, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love all of the "Hide This" books, and the Italian version was no exception. I gave this to my brother, who is in High School, has a birthday present, and he loved it, because he is in his 4th year of Italian. This way, he gets to learn slang for when he studied abroad.

What They Can't Teach You in School...

ByDawn M. Beston December 12, 2005

Format: Paperback

Any student of the Italian language is sure to get a rise out of "Hide This Book: Italian". As with the rest of the "Hide This..." series, this volume teaches those of us without a native tongue what (not) to say in the presence of normal society in Italy. It is as much for beginners as it is long-time bookbusters wishing to evade the inevitable social rebuttals of mispronunciation and assumed innocence of vocabulary. Not for children. Not to be passed up!

pretty fun

ByMaryon October 30, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

It helps to have had a little study on the language before visiting the country, so a semester of Italian plus this book REALLY WORKED OUT GOOD!!! I didn't use much fromt the shopping section but everything else was really useful and wortht he $! The only downsize is it gives you the correct italian spelling for italian phrases, but no english pronunciation key. Iyou don't already know how the italian alphabet works you won't know how to pronounce alot of the words right, but it wouldn't take much extra study with a normal phrasebook to learn that part.

Great tool for throwing off your Italian speaking friends...

ByLovlySingleon April 23, 2009

Format: Paperback

This book is a lot of fun. It's got some interesting words and phrases for those who are just learning the language. But, it's even more fun to use the items learned in this book to throw off your Italian speaking friends who don't think you know "slang" or other custom Italian phrases.
