The course is designed to give the traveller enough verbal skills to get by in Italy by train, plane, car, bus, bike etc. You will be able to manage even though you have not studied the grammar and language in depth.
You will learn something about Italy and the Italians and their very different habits – especially regarding things like family and food, the two most important things in every Italian’s life. You will learn how to meet and greet Italian people, acquire enough courtesy phrases to endear you to the locals who will reward you handsomely for the effort you have made.
Areas to be covered are: transportation, finding accommodation, how to understand a menu and order food in cafes and restaurants,; recognising road and signs and other important pointers (toilets, ticket office, etc), money and banking, emergencies (medical, police etc.) shopping, sightseeing, asking directions, numbers and heaps more!
The course will respond to specific needs of participating students.
Maximum number: 12
