Summary: Lots of words, but no English to Italian Section
Comment: This book is great if you can hear Italian natives speak, and actually understand what they have said, otherwise it's useless with no English to Italian section. Sure you can pick a random word and find out what it means in English but who wants to do that?

Summary: Non Italiano Mio (Not My Italian)
Comment: This is a very nice book that serves as a delightful and often humorous introduction into colloquial Italian. However, I suspect this book cites the Italian of Italy - the pennisula and not that of Sicily or Sardenia - dialects that would appear to be distinct languages in and of themselves. I say this because my grand parents came from Sicily and Calabria in southern Italy. This book DOES NOT list of any the expressions or words I heard growing up, which were used by my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and assorted friends and relatives.
The book is easy to read, but it lacks the accents and euphemistic twists put on the words by locals as have come from Calabria, Sicily, Basilicata, Naples in the Campania and other wonderul regions. Italy as a nation is lest than 200 years old. Thus so, the language varies from region to region like the cooking. I have heard many wonderful dialects by Italians from New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and Los Angeles from people who came from various parts of the mainland. But I have not found much of what I heard in this book. The book educates those who are not of Italian or Sicilian descent on some expressions of the old country, but to someone like me who grew up with Italians, it is not thorough.
