Author Description

Designed for the young and hip, this best-selling language series is packed full of the language really spoken by locals; it's not the Italian you learned in school. Learn the lingo on: Love, Sex, Extreme Sports, Video Games, Fashion, Body and Gross Bodily Functions, Internet, Text Messaging, Gossip, Entertainment, and Partying. Also exposed in Hide This Book are hilarious language mishaps, social trends, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Icons indicate how "hot" language is, so you know when an expression is totally offensive, completely inappropriate, but really worth knowing! Listen to the foreign language online, or download the audio to you iPod(R) or MP3 player. Entertaining as well as enlightening, this is one Italian book users will want to read from cover to cover!
