About this title

From the Publisher:

One sold every eight seconds! Over the last 100 years, Collins' renowned Gems have become the best-loved and best-selling small dictionaries in the UK. The Italian Gem contains all the basic terms you need to make yourself understood in Italian, and a great deal more - around 75,000 words in all. We are constantly monitoring new terms in Italian and English with the aid of our innovative and
extensive Language Banks, which means that the content is kept as current as possible.

The Gem has the twin benefits of being compact and portable - perfect for taking abroad with you or carrying round in your pocket! - yet easy to read, with a clear and distinctive layout. All the headwords appear in bold, making it simple to quickly scan a page for the word you are looking for, and the different senses of a word are marked by indicator labels to ensure that the correct translation is chosen every time.

The Keyword sections highlight important or frequently-used words such as "get", "do" and "in" and give them in-depth treatment. Added to this, the culture box feature provides helpful information about local culture and customs, for
example "ferragosto" and the "carabinieri". Whether you intend using this dictionary for work, travel or study, it couldn't be easier to make yourself sound like a native!!
