Gimmick I: Italiano Parlato

Perhaps I should begin with what a Gimmick is not. It is not a serious scholarly book. It IS the answer to your problems in speaking and understanding Italian - a method of acquiring an international vocabulary. Italian as the Italians speak it, including hundreds of current idioms. How to be angry. How to fall in love. How to be polite. What not to say. A book for Americans who want to brush up on Italian as it is spoken today.
