It's not the Italian you learned in high school. Learn the lingo on love, sex, extreme sports, fashion, gossip, partying and much more. Also exposed in "Hide This Book" are hilarious mishaps, social trends, and cool cultural features. Thermometers indicate how “hot” language is, so you know when an expression is totally offensive, completely inappropriate and downright nasty! Hear the foreign language online, or download the audio to you iPod® or MP3 player. Entertaining as well as enlightening, this is one language reference you'll enjoy reading cover to cover.
My Italian friend was not amused. This, however, was due to my atrocious pronunciation and not so much about what I was saying :P The author states that this book is intended for students taking Italian courses. Yes, you would benefit that much more. But why not pick it up anyway? A friendly Italian will come to your rescue, I hope.
