Wait - you're not gonna tell me now that you've just booked a holiday in Italy but you're afraid of speaking Italian?! Right, I'll forgive you just because your quick fix is here. A fun video-course to explore five potential scenarios you'll have to deal with - at the market (buying fruit, vegetables, fish, cheese and cold cuts: yummy!), at the cinema/theatre/opera, at the flower shop, at the rent-a-car, and at the beach (how Italian!).

So have your shopping trolley and your sun-cream handy, and enjoy these five videos, where every activity is introduced, explained and corrected, and you'll challenge yourself with a variety of pronunciation drill, matching activities, fill-in-the-gap exercises, dialogues to work on, and so much more, like the Spazio culturale at the end of each video-session with tips and curious facts about some Italian habits:.

Why are the "pigeons' seats" so longed for in an Italian theatre? Which flowers shouldn't you buy as a gift as they're used in cemetries more than at parties? Why can't poor Italian children take a swim after lunch?
