Language that travels with you
Tourist phrasebooks give you sentences. This course gives you the flexibility to handle situations that do not appear in any phrasebook - a delayed train, a market negotiation, a dinner invitation at someone's home.
Culture is part of the language
Italian communication is shaped by regional customs, social expectations, and unspoken rules. We cover those alongside vocabulary. Knowing when not to speak is as useful as knowing what to say.
Scenarios covered
Accommodation check-ins and complaints, restaurant ordering beyond the basics, transport and navigation, medical situations, shopping at local markets, and social invitations. Each scenario is practiced through role-play with recorded native speaker dialogue.
Who this suits
Anyone planning an extended stay, a working holiday, or a sabbatical in Italy. Also useful for people with Italian heritage who want to reconnect with the language before visiting family.
This is not a survival course. It is preparation for genuine participation in Italian daily life.
