The Savvy Diner gives you all the words and phrases you'll need when you want to get the most out of one of the most memorable experiences of your trip: enjoying the celebrated foods of la bell'italia and dining as the Italians do.
The Savvy Diner is the ideal companion to help you learn to pronounce the words that make you understand in almost any dining place where Italian is spoken--in a modest cafe, a trattoria, or country traverna in Tuscany, or maybe even in a celebrated restaurant frequented by the rich and famous of New York.
You'll probably know the meaning of minestrone, pizza, salame, prosciutto, provolone, and scaloppine on the menu and be able to pronounce the words easily. But, how about i frutti di mare, l'abbacchio, le acciughe, la cassciagone, bollito misto? You may want to order these with authority and it will not be difficult with The Savvy Diner.
Native speakers have recorded this food and dining program on two CDs or cassettes which you can listen to at home, in the car, on an office break, or while doing something else. The little booklet of words and phrases you have learned makes a handy reference for "carry-along."
The Savvy Diner is a fast, easy, and effective way to learn all the Italian you'll need while dining italiano.
