[Eamonn]

Only drink cappacino in the morning (it's a breakfast drink)

In the afternoons/evenings only have Expresso (the king of coffee) - resorting to an 'Americano' (a watered down Expresso) is for wimps !

When asking for something start with :
Vorrei del - I want some ......
or
Vorrei un - I want a .....

Numbers 1 to 10:
uno
due
tre
quattro
cinque
sei
sette
otto
nove
diece

The letter 'c' is always pronounced 'ch' when there's a vowel after it - so cinque is pronounced 'chin-kwey'


If you try to talk in Italian, the Italians will often try to respond in English.... You can have a great time both talking in languages that neither are very good at !

HTH, and have a great time !
