Lingua ItalianoYou don’t need to speak Italian to enjoy Florence, but you’llbe glad to know a few words and phrases.PreparationsTake LessonsIt’s probably best to look for short courses in Italian, eitherfrom continuing education programs or private instructorsschools. Here’s a sampling: BC Continuing Ed offers Italian for Travelers.Learn FundamentalLanguage Skills Nuovo Centro Italiano on Capitol Hill offers a classthroughout the year: Italian for Travelers.Self-Directed PracticeYou can get apps and learn on your own. Depending onyour tolerance for their motivational tricks – or lack thereof– many people recommend this approach.Duolingo and Bravola are good apps to check out.Google Translate is indispensable. It uses a sophisticatedA.I. algorithm to make very accurate translations from textyou type, signs and text you capture on your camera, orfrom speaking directly into the phone.
