Product Description

Product Description

Unlike a phrasebook or a dictionary, teach Yourself Italian Vocabulary will take your existing knowledge and build on it systematically and organically, so that you will increase your vocabulary and at the same time expand your range of expression.

At the beginning of the book there is a section to help you with your pronunciation, followed by a short and simple grammar summary.

The main part of the book is arranged in topics, such as 'Work', 'Travel and Accommodation' and 'Food and Drink', and concentrates on the vital and most current words and expressions, listing those which you might already know and then extending the coverage to teach you those you probably do not know.

At the end of the book, verb tables give you a quick-and-easy reference guide to the tenses and forms of the most common verbs.

This is an ideal companion if you are a language student or if you are wanting a systematic, easy-to-use tool to increase the range of your vocabulary and improve your ability to express yourself in a wide variety of situations, either on holiday or on a business trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best Italian vocab book I've yet seen., 7 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Italian Vocabulary (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
This is an excellent vocabulary book to assist you in learning Italian. The book is organised into 46 sections covering almost every non-specialist topic you are likely to need at basic and intermediate levels. Each category is further divided into sections and illustrations, exercises and proverbs/sayings are sprinkled through it. The result is a page layout where the vocabulary lists are mostly in smallish blocks that can be used as units to learn, rather than the long lists that one finds in some vocabulary books that are so daunting. The proverbs/sayings give an interesting insight into the language.

The range of topics covered includes law, politics, business, and the church as well as the more touristy topics.

I found this to be the easiest to learn from of the Italian vocabularies I looked at.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, 15 Nov 2004
By Mrs. E. R. Braun "elisabeth_rb" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was a really good buy. Italian resources are improving these days and this certainly is a valuable addition to the collection.
The core vocabulary of any language is said to be about 3000 words. This book contains 4000 - 5000 from my estimates, so if you manage to pack this lot away in your memory, you will be a competent user of the language.
Some great features are the introduction which contains useful tips on remembering vocabulary, info about Italian spelling, punctuation etc and also how to look for patterns and similarities to reduce workload. The next section, 'Toolbox' gives an brief but clear intro to the main features of Italian grammar including common verb forms and tenses, adverbs, possessives, (a bit more complex in Italian than many other languages.....), then gives vocab lists of common concepts such as colours, number, time, measures etc.
The main chapter headings are: Personal matters, Family, Work, Education, At home, Food and drink, In town, In the country, Hobbies and sport, Clothing, Travel, Tourism, Body and health, The world, Government and society and the media. Some sections include features on 'false friends' (words you think will mean one thing, but mean something quite different), and the book ends with a useful 'Taking it further' section.
In short, a great resource for up to about A level study that only leaves room for one or two improvements, (putting all the vocab lists in alphabetical order would be good, as would audio of all the words). I've already added the French and Spanish editions to my wish list!

3.0 out of 5 stars Thourough and comprehensive but with a dull layout., 10 Jul 2008
I study A-level Italian and I think that "Teach Yourself Italian Vocabulary" is one of the most detailed Italian vocabulary books available and worth buying if you study the language at an intermediate or advanced level.
I've found the somewhat lengthy introduction very useful; it contains a lot of practical hints on learning vocabulary, Italian spelling tips, and a pronunciation guide. This is followed by a "Toolbox" section witch explains basic grammatical concepts.
Within the sixteen chapters of the book the words and phrases are segregated into different parts of speech (i.e. nouns, verbs, and so on).
On the other hand, every time I use this book I feel that the layout is decidedly monotonous: there is no colour, it's printed on slightly grey paper, etc., but nonetheless I would recommend this book to those seeking to expand their vocabulary in Italian.
Before buying it take a look at the Italian-English Visual Bilingual Dictionary, which I prefer to use most of the time.
