The essence of any language lies not in its timehonored dictionaries, but in its slang. Streetwise Italian Dictionary/Thesaurus provides Italian students with today’s most accurate, accessible, and up-to-date reference to current Italian slang and idiomatic expressions. More than 2,500 terms and expressions are conveniently arranged into alphabetical topics, and then―unlike most resources of its type―marked for register to prevent the embarrassment of inappropriate usage. Extensive example sentences, together with their English translations, provide helpful context. Valuable for all, but particularly those planning travel to Italy, this comprehensive reference reveals the true language of Italy.

In questo testo molte delle idee, degli esempi proposti e molti degli "idioms" sono ottimi e riportati in maniera eccellente.Purtroppo pero' in vari capitoli ci sono troppi errori di grammatica ed espressioni che non ho mai sentito usare prima.Trattandosi di "Italian slang" e' naturale aspettarsi espressioni che si discostino dall'Italiano grammaticalmente corretto e data la diversita' di dialetti parlati in Italia e' normale scoprire a volte nuovi modi di dire.Tuttavia, in molti degli esempi riportati nel testo, l'espressione Italiana (quella che per lo meno io avrei usato) si discosta spesso e di molto da quella proposta nel testo, che in aggiunta presenta errori grammaticali. Per questo motivo ritengo che il contenuto di alcuni capitoli richieda un'attenta revisione.
the translations are somewhat different from other texts but I still enjoyed comparig current current everyday Idiomatic phrases with other students in my class.
Not what I was looking for... My teenage son was mildly interested. I would not recommend this book for those who are trying to engage in polite conversation. This was a waste of money..
