This semester we tried something new: four classes of survival Italian, a nice occasion to learn a bit of this rich and beautiful language and to practice it while going out all together. At the beginning we started with grammatics, and some of the basic vocabulary concerning how to get food, how to ask for information, while at the post office and while doing shopping. Besides, we spent some time on the outside, going to the supermarket, to the tabacconist, eating in Roman pizzerias and ice-cream shops. The guys practiced their Italian in different contexts and were very proud of their results!
All in all, it was a very nice experience and a beautiful occasion not only to explore the Italian language, but also to get to know the Italian culture through direct experience.
