here the grammatically correct version.. you will look like a local!!!
Sì. No. Per favore. Grazie. IN CHE DIREZIONE E' 3 birre per favore. PER FAVORE AVETE UNA STANZA? (La) - vostra figlia è bella. PER FAVORE METTA GIU' LA PISTOLA (I am sure it will not happen..!!)
Jeff is right, you probably will not have a lot of problems... people will try to communicate in English.... not like the French :-) (I am giving hard time to Tonio today!!!..:-) )
"I'm sorry for the football mate, you played well but we were better.."
I really don't think you will need to know this sentence in Italian as It will not happen.. :-) .... !!!!
I would add:
QUANTO COSTA? - How much it is (moneywise) BUONGIORNO - Goodmorning BUONANOTTE - Goodnight (after 8 PM..) QUANTO TEMPO E' NECESSARIO PER.... - How long is going to take for....... LA DUCATI E' LA MOTO PIU' BELLA DEL MONDO - the duke is the most beautiful bike of the world... SONO UN MOTOCICLISTA - I am a Motorcycle rider .....
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 !
