Ready to dive into the dolce vita? Our short course in everyday Italian is like a whirlwind trip through Italy, where you’ll pick up the language essentials to navigate la bella Italia with confidence and style! It is offered free of charge to the students who participate in the Regional Qualifiers or the World Finals.

Picture this: You’re strolling through Rome, gelato in hand, chatting with locals like you’ve lived there your whole life. Or maybe you’re at a cozy café in Florence, ordering an ice cream like a pro: Un gelato, per favore! This course will give you all the phrases, gestures, and charm you need to make every day in Italy feel like a true adventure.

We’ll cover everything from:
– Simple greetings (because you’ve got to start with a friendly Ciao!),
– Introducing yourself (so you can make new friends),
– Italian gestures (moving your hands becomes your secret weapon),
– And the best ways to say Arrivederci when it’s time to say goodbye—but only until your next Italian adventure!

During this fun and interactive class, despite it being short, you’ll be speaking and laughing like an Italian in no time. Whether you’re meeting locals or just want to impress your friends, this lesson will turn everyday Italian into your new favorite language.

At the end of each class, you’ll get to participate in the Hippo Staff Challenge, where your Italian skills will be put to the test in a fun and engaging way. Best of all, you could win a special prize, awarded to you on stage during the awards ceremony! It’s a great way to boost your Italian while having a blast!
