Grocery Shopping at a Supermarket in Bologna
NEW · Speaking Mode: Tap Start speaking and wait for “Listening”. Tap Stop speaking when you finish your answer. Then review the transcription and check your response. Help reveals words, a starter and finally a model; help is recorded. Short pauses are allowed.
Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic grocery-shopping trip in Bologna. Choose or say the reply you would actually use in Italian.
Some replies are clear, practical, and natural. Others confuse supermarket vocabulary, queue numbers, weights and quantities, produce rules, loyalty-card promotions, payment language, or what appears on the receipt.
When communication breaks down, repair it with phrases such as: “Mi scusi, non ho capito”, “Dove trovo…?”, “Quanto fa un etto?”, “Quindi devo pesarlo qui?”, “La promozione vale anche senza carta fedeltà?” and “C’è un problema con lo scontrino”. At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- You are staying in an apartment in Bologna and are shopping for breakfast and a simple dinner with a few local products.
- You need to find products, use the deli counter, order realistic quantities, understand cheese aging, weigh fruit, read a promotion, choose water, handle checkout questions, and check the receipt.
- Your goal is to communicate naturally in Italian and repair misunderstandings before they lead to the wrong quantity, a missed promotion, confusion at the register, or an unresolved charge.
Guided Speaking
Listen to the other speaker and use your own words to achieve the goal. Tap Start speaking, wait for “Listening”, then tap Stop speaking. Review your transcription and tap Check my response. The task check may ask for a missing detail.
This mode checks task-specific details in your text, not pronunciation or all grammar. Unfamiliar wording can need teacher review. If your phone joins spelled letters into a name, retry or mark the goal for teacher review.
