Overview

More than just a phrasebook with a sense of humor, Wicked Italian is a cultural survival guide. Confronted with a forgetful innkeeper you'll do better than mumble an apology by learning to say Allora dormiamo nella lobby. (""In that case, we will sleep here in the lobby""). Forced to wait for your dinner you'll say: Bisogna essere Primo Ministro per essere servito qui? (""Must one be Prime Minister to get service here?"") Women traveling alone will finally have the phrases they need at their fingertips, such as Contento tu (""Dream on""), Guardi che chiamo la polizia (""I'll call the police""), and Neanche se fosse l'ultimo uomo sulla terra (""Not if you were the last man on earth""). On the other hand, a chapter on ""Making Love"" teaches the delicate language of amore. Wicked Italian is the next best thing to being named Marcello or Sophia. Ciao!
