Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers
£47.70
Ever had a case of stuck tongue + sweaty armpits when starting a conversation in Italian?
You’re sitting in a nice Italian restaurant in the main piazza, enjoying the sunshine.
You scan through the Italian menu to find your favourite pasta dish.
The restaurant where you’re sitting is full cheerful and loud Italian people enjoying their lunch break. “It must be a good one -not a tourist place!” you think.
One little drawback, though: you realise that the staff doesn’t really speak English.
Now, You want to attract the waiter attention but…how do you say “excuse me’ in Italian?
You get your phone out. Type it “Excuse me, I’d like spaghetti carbonara, please!” in Google translator.
You get the waiter’s attention. You read the translated Italian sentence to him -as clearly as you can! and…
The waiter looks at you completely puzzled!
“Scusi?” he asks.
OOPS!! You must’ve said something wrong.
Plan B: you show the waiter the screen of your phone and point at the sentence you wanted to pronounce, and then point at the food you want on the menú.
A feeling of embarassment dawns upon you.
If only you had learned some Italian earlier prior to your trip!
But last time you tried to attend a course your boss decided to keep you late at work and you had to miss quite a lot!
Also, last language class you went to didn’t really work for you. They taught stuff that wasn’t related to what you want to learn (aka travelling!).
Or you’ve realised you’re an independent learner who thrives when learning on her own. You want to be the one who decides what to learn and when (rather than be told so by some random teacher!).
Either way, you really want to learn Italian. And actually speak it. Because you really want to enjoy your trip to Italy.
You want to connect to Italian people.
You want to be part of their world.
And I really want to help make your trip to Italy the best ever.
I created something for you that can help you learn the Italian you actually need for your next Italian holiday!
Something that will help you learn the Italian you truly need on your own terms (whenever you want and wherever you want!).
Something that is a phrasebook, an exercise book, an interactive vocabulary and grammar guide ! 🙂

Testimonial for Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers
” The Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers is very helpful for anticipating typical conversations in several places where tourists will likely practice their Italian: restaurants, bars, hotels, souvenir shops, museums, asking for directions on the street, etc. I love how the conversations also have a checklist for vocabulary topics to review and grammar points to remember. If I were planning a trip to Italy a few weeks or months from now, I would certainly use this checklist to help me focus on what needs brushing up before getting on the plane.” – JONATHAN HUGGINS from Huggins International (hugginsinternational.com)
Who created the Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers?
Hi, my name’s Erminia Pedata, but you can call me Ermy. I’m a qualified language coach and Italian native speaker and the creator of the Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers.
When I first moved to England, my English fluency was fairly limited, so I used to prepare little conversation scripts (either in my mind or on my phone!) to effectively communicate in daily conversational scenarios, such as asking for something specific in a shop or going at the doctor’s. Creating these little conversation scripts helped me build my confidence in speaking English. The Italian Conversation Guide for Travellers stems from this idea. It’s the perfect resource for those Italian learners who are just starting their Italian learning journey and would like to build their confidence in speaking the Italian they actually need to enjoy their next trip to Italy.
