Practice phone calls in Italian before your trip
Heading somewhere people answer the phone in Italian? The calls you make on a trip, like confirming your hotel, booking a taxi or reserving a table, are often harder than talking face to face: no gestures, no menu to point at, and people speak fast. A little practice in Italian before you go makes those calls much less stressful.
Useful Italian phrases for phone calls
| English | Italian |
|---|---|
| Hello (opening the call) | Buongiorno. |
| I'm calling about my reservation. | Chiamo per la mia prenotazione. |
| Could you speak more slowly, please? | Può parlare più lentamente, per favore? |
| Could you repeat that, please? | Può ripetere, per favore? |
| A table for two at 8 pm, please. | Un tavolo per due alle otto, per favore. |
| Thank you, goodbye. | Grazie, arrivederci. |
Tip: say your name and the date of your booking slowly and early in the call, and keep a pen ready for times, prices and confirmation codes.
