Great for beginners or those willing to know more. Love the grammar and pronunciation aspect within the book. ( )

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. As a frequent traveler, I am always looking for ways to learn foreign languages. I have tried everything from apps to courses and I believe this book is by far the best technique. The author begins the book with the correct way of pronouncing letters and sounds then gives an overview of basic words like colors and numbers. The book gradually moves to short phrases using the words you just learned. Then as the book progresses, the author divides each learning section into common scenerios you my find yourself in while traveling: directions, ordering food, dating etc. Definitely will jot down a few phrases when I eventually find myself back in Italy. I highly recommend this books for first time travelers as well as experienced ones. ( )
