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 dinner at a busy family-run trattoria in Naples. Choose or say the reply you would actually use in Italian.
Some replies are clear, polite, and natural. Others use literal English, misunderstand local menu words, miss pragmatic cues, or turn a small restaurant problem into a bigger one.
When communication breaks down, repair it with phrases such as: “Mi scusi, non ho capito”, “Che cosa c’è dentro?”, “Quindi la genovese non è al pesto?”, “Credo ci sia un problema con il piatto” and “Mi può controllare il conto?”. At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- You have arrived at a busy trattoria in the historic center of Naples. The reservation is under the surname Parker.
- You need to confirm the reservation, choose where to sit, understand local dishes, ask about ingredients, react when a dish is unavailable, handle a wrong plate, understand the coperto, and solve a real mistake on the bill.
- Your goal is to communicate naturally in Italian, understand common restaurant language and local Neapolitan food references, and repair misunderstandings calmly and effectively.
