App Description

There is a lot of talk about pasta, pizza and antipasti. But the true champs of Italian cuisine are gelato, tiramisu, cannoli, Neapolitan and other signature Italian Desserts. If the Italian Dictionary is alien to you and you don’t have an Italian best friend, how would you know that? But when you rapidly pick up Italian, thanks to the Italian Pretati translation app, you can have conversations in Italian to find out that Italians are the Flattery, Dessert and Sports Car Kings of this planet. Your wish to be able to chat in Italian by learning everyday words and phrases from their dictionary is now a reality. Italian Pretati is a one of a kind language translation app utilizing video and voice lessons to help travellers like you from all over the world easily learn and communicate in Italian. And there is more. The Italian Pretati translation app has an inbuilt Italian dictionary containing over 500 important handpicked phrases and words that travellers, businessmen, food lovers and language enthusiasts will find priceless when visiting Italy or when chatting in Italian!

For each phrase, there is a video of a Italian native speaker clearly pronouncing each word, plus the Italian script and also the phonetic pronunciation of the phrase. For added convenience, the phrases are grouped into categories for the most common travel situations including Getting Around, Eating & Drinking, Italian expressions, Health, Problems, Numbers, Time and Date, Meeting People, Shopping, Money and even the necessary Italian survival phrases. Other first of their kind features include the ability to playback each Italian phrase in slow mode, mark favorites for quick reference and even copy the phrase to send via SMS or email to your friends back home. You can quickly share these to your social media circles too! While the app is primarily targeted towards travellers, it is also a great learning tool for those who desire to start learning the basics of the Italian language in an easy, fast and fun way.

The app is a onetime download and works completely offline so you never have to worry about expensive international data costs or searching for an open WIFI network. You can focus on the dessert in your plate instead.
