Sono le 9 di mattina. Entri in un negozio. Cosa dici?

This course is for people who know nothing about Italian. With Marco, your teacher, you learn the first words you really need: greeting people, saying your name and where you are from, counting from zero to twenty, ordering a coffee and understanding the price.

Each lesson takes about ten minutes. You get simple words, real everyday dialogues and a translation of every word into English, French, Romanian and German.

At the end there is a short test with easy questions. Pass it and you receive an ApprendoLab certificate of completion.

  • Introduce yourself: name, origin, job
  • Count from 0 to 20 and understand spoken numbers
  • Order a coffee or a drink at an Italian bar
