Since I've been living in Italy, 15 years now, I sometimes discover words and phrases that I never heard during my Italian courses, probably because they were too unimportant. Hard grammar was always the focus when learning the language! But often such little things are just very interesting to know and important in everyday life to avoid ridiculous or embarrassing misunderstandings.

In alphabetical order, this book offers a multitude (77) of possible stumbling blocks in learning and using the Italian language, with one or more short anecdotes and a cartoon for each letter. Officially, the Italian alphabet has only 21 letters: Except for loan words, the letters J, K, W, X and Y are not used at all. For this reason, I could reasonably have limited myself to just 21 letters. however, not wanting to be lazy, I have added some anecdotes about the letters K, W and X.

Glossary of over 250 Italian words included.
