It can be hard sometimes to speak only in the foreign language we're learning with our teacher. Especially when we have a basic level and don't have a lot of vocabulary.
DON'T WORRY: these four lifesaver questions will help you keep the conversation in italian going.
(Also, your teacher will really appreciate the effort you are doing in speaking the second language)

ex. (your teacher is speaking at the speed of light and you miss some words)
Student: Puoi ripetere per favore?
2. COME SI DICE _____IN ITALIANO? = HOW DO YOU SAY _____ IN ITALIAN?

ex. (your teacher is speaking in italian, and suddenly say something incomprehensible or that you simply don't know the meaning of)
