Product Description
The second edition of the Oxford-Paravia Italian Dictionary' is the most complete and up-to-date Italian dictionary available. It covers contemporary terms such as aid worker, climate change, and life coach, and includes specialist EU terminology such as acquis and revolving presidency. The 7,000 most frequently used words in Italian are highlighted to help you learn essential vocabulary. This edition also features cultural notes that provide lively and interesting information on life in Italy, and a guide to correspondence, which includes sample letters, emails, CVs, and help with text messaging. There are notes throughout the A-Z text to warn of politically sensitive vocabulary, to alert you to key differences between Italian and English, and to show how words such as with and before are used in different contexts. This edition retains such popular features as quick-reference verb tables, and lists of vocabulary on topics such as seasons, rivers, sports, and more. It is an essential reference tool for all serious students of Italian at university level and beyond, and for those who need an authoritative and comprehensive guide to Italian.

I am really impressed with this Dictionary. Besides the general layout, which is incredibly clear, it has every word I can think of in it! An unmissable aid to Italian language students. In the centre of the dictionary is a section giving invaluable aids such as numbers, dates, times and even examples of job applications, references, complaints for bad workmanship etc. It is Simply the BEST!!

It is easy to use and I have found everything I have needed for reference purposes in this dictionary, plus lots more. There are many detailed entries and plenty of examples to help you use a word or phrase in the correct context. I have been studying Italian for a year but would say this dictionary would be suitable for complete beginners to the more experienced linguist.

There are many expressions in it.
For Italian lerners, who are not English native speakers,
is it very useful and you can look for
the suitable words and expressions which you want.
Lean Italian with it,
and you must come to the marverous Italian language world.
