Discover Italy: A Traveler’s Roadmap to the Perfect Trip!
The goal is to give all the necessary information to enjoy a trip to Italy avoiding all the misunderstanding due to a lack nor imprecision of communication.
The courses is divided into 3 parts of 3 lessons each. The first is focused on what to learn before the departure: basic grammar and reading in the proper way, basic sentence structure and essential propositions, the best way to use the verbs “essere” and “avere”.
The second part will be based on practical role plays: how to introduce yourself, how to ask for help and or some information, how to rent a car, take a bus a taxi or train, at the restaurant or coffee shop, gift or fashion shop.
The last part will be focused on practical tips and information to avoid inconveniences i.e., regarding your documents, visa, medical insurance, bank and exchange currencies, public transportation, food, museum, driving related problems.
