Italy Travel Ready
Italian for Travellers
Online Evening Course
led by Giulia Sorrentino
A relaxed evening course designed for people travelling to Italy who want to feel comfortable in real situations. From the very first lesson, the focus is on communication: greeting people, ordering food, asking for directions, checking into hotels, and handling everyday situations with confidence.
Lessons prioritise pronunciation, useful expressions, and the vocabulary you are most likely to need while travelling. Grammar is introduced only when essential, helping you understand how the language works without slowing down communication.
Through practical role plays, guided conversations, and short situational activities, you will gradually build the confidence to interact with locals and enjoy your time in Italy more fully.

FAQs
01
Do I need to speak Italian already?
No — this course is designed for beginners and lower-level learners. We focus on what you actually need to communicate in Italy.
03
Will I have to study a lot of grammar?
No. This is a practical, communication-focused course. Grammar is introduced only when it helps you understand and use essential travel phrases, so most lesson time is spent listening, speaking and practising realistic situations.
02
What will I be able to do after the course?
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to handle real travel situations such as: - asking for directions - using transport - checking into accommodation - ordering in cafés, restaurants and bars - shopping and chatting with locals - dealing with simple problems or emergencies
04
What if I miss a lesson?
You’ll still receive all materials, and we’ll do our best to help you catch up so you don’t fall behind.
