Welcome to the DAY12 Phrase Book
ITALIAN
Compiled
for The
DAY12 Phrasebook
by Silvia
Lollobrigida (Italy)
The
DAY12 Phrase
Book has been
lovingly compiled by Day12
readers from around the world to arm you with a few words
and phrases for your next destination. From
basic vocabulary such as 'Yes',
'No' and 'Thank-you',
and simple structures like, 'Where
is the..?' and 'How much is
this?' to the more advanced, 'I'm
bored of talking. Shall we
go to bed?' and 'Is that a
ghost?!', The
DAY12 Phrase
Book will help
you get by with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of fun.
Enjoy,
or as they say in France,
'Cafe
au lait!'

Pronunciation:
With only a ouple of exceptions Italian is a beautifully phonetic language which means that you say exactly what you can see. However, you really need to pronounce it like you mean it!
So why not have a local (and there are some very good looking ones)
talk you through the correct pronunciation? And
if they suggest any useful phrases, let us know and we'll
add them to the list.

you speak a language that doesn't appear here? Email
us at info@day12.com
and we'll send you the template for this page. You
can also get in touch if you have ideas for any words or
phrases we've missed.
