Synopses & Reviews
Specially designed for beginners, this essential volume is not merely a scaled-down version of a larger Italian dictionary. Every effort has been made to approach Italian from the point of view of the beginning student who may be unfamiliar with the conventions of the more traditional bilingual dictionary, which presupposes a basic knowledge of the language. The Oxford Starter Italian Dictionary contains approximately 20,000 words covering everyday vocabulary and core survival phrases. From irregular verb forms to common idiomatic usage, the dictionary provides generous coverage of those aspects of Italian which are less easy to decode for English speakers.
