Question

I am traveling ti Italy and speak only English. Will I have a problem anywhere??

Answer 1

if an italian came here and spoke italian would he have any problems anywhere? its funny how in the us when people speak other languages they get the "this is america we speak english here" but yet when they travel they expect people to speak english there too... Thankfully italians are not ingnorant and speak differnet languages.. and if they dont they have the manners and try to understand them!

Answer 2

you should be fine.  just buy an italian phrase dictionary.  will help  u in asking for directions and such.

i went with a group of fellow students some took latin some took italian.  but few of us knew italian great.  but we managed to get by with the stuff we knew.    most places atleast someone can help with translation.

Italians are wonderful. Many if not most speak English, and those that don't have at least a broken English for tourists. It would be nice if you pick up a few phrases just to be polite but you won't have to.

Have a great time. Beware of scooters. Wonderful people, terrible drivers.
