SMALL, BUT MIGHTY

This mini Italian dictionary is versatile. It is compact and up-to-date. Every word it translated is well-defined. Even special entries on both Italian slangs and culture were included.It is a handy companion that one can depend on while travelling or studying. Users will appreciate how it conjugated many of the irregular verbs that are used in contemporary Italian.It is a valuable pocket reference for learners and travellers alike.

compact and colorful

This book is really neat. I love the COLOR, it makes things so much easier. It doesn't, however, have a section for slang phrases or anything like that, just strictly definitions. Now if you are like me, and are really new to Italian, sometimes it's hard for me to understand the meaning, because I haven't learned all of the forms of the verbs, but it does get me by in a pinch. Either way, I'm glad I bought it.

great pocket reference

two-color is very helpful (i was skeptical at first); the gamesin the center are [not great]..., but passed the time on the plane, and did reinforce vocabulary.for the price you can't go wrong.

Kudos to this hand-sized dictionary!

I bought this dictionary as was required by my Italian language school, and I have just been using the heck out of it! What surprised me was that for such a small dictionary it has had almost every word I've needed to look up. Let me tell you, I've had to find some pretty off-the-beaten-path words! Besides the amazingly eye-friendy blue coloring of the main words, I've appreciated the accurate expressions and idioms in addition to the standard definitions. All around, this book has been indespensable! It's been my money's worth and them some! Though I personally haven't had need for the games and puzzles, I still recommend this selection to anyone who needs a great portable dictionary.
