The Rosetta Stone method is supposed to be be the best. I don't know if it is or not, I just saw a commercial last week. It looks pretty good.

if you know the basics, i think you'd be ok with just that...

these are informal phrases...

buon giorno- good morning(actually translated to "good day")

buona sera- good evening(but they usually start saying this after about 2 PM)

buona notte- good night

arrivederci- goodbye

per favore- please

grazie- thank you

prego- you're welcome

come stai?- how are you?

scusa- excuse me

Non c'ÃƒÂ¨ male.- not bad

sto bene- i am fine

che cosa ha detto?- what did you say?

ho capisco- i understand(depending where you go in italy, though...some say ho capito instead)

mi chiamo...- my name is...

sono di...- i am from

Parli inglese?- do you speak english?

non parlo italiano- i dont speak italian

non so- i dont know

lo so- i know

come?- what?

Va bene- ok

ho fame- im hungry

ho sete- im thirsty

ho freddo- im cold

ho caldo- im hot

PuÃƒÂ² aiutarmi?- Can you help me?

There's no way of learning Italian that quickly, but you will learn some words.
