Travelling to Italy
Travelling tips from Anna
Learn practical Italian for your trip
Planning a trip to Italy is exciting, and knowing some Italian can make your experience richer, easier, and more enjoyable. From ordering food and asking for directions to connecting with locals, a little Italian goes a long way.
At Speak Italian, I help travellers learn practical, real-life Italian that you can use with confidence while exploring Italy. If you’re travelling for the first time or returning to places you love, learning the language helps you experience Italy beyond the tourist layer.
As a family, we have travelled with two pre-teen children, teenagers and without children, so I am happy to provide travel tips to everyone attending classes. My family and I have travelled abroad and very fortunately visited my homeland and other parts of Italy in 2008, 2011, 2017 & 2019.
We all exchange our experiences and learn from one another. We have all had good and not so good experiences so good to share and use some useful tips for your safety and travelling advice.
Come to Italian classes and learn conversational Italian.
Yes, many Italian cities have menus and hospitality staff that can understand English but experience the “real” Italian experience and visit some of the smaller towns and hamlets and use what you have learnt. Italians will love you when you test your Italian vocabulary with them.
