ANECDOTE

Katie's Short Copenhagen Story

  • Katie mentions she's been to Copenhagen and found it a bit cold.
  • That brief travel story sets up the lesson context about places in town.
ADVICE

Use L' Before Vowel-Starting Nouns

  • Use L' before words that begin with a vowel for both genders to sound natural in Italian.
  • Replace il/la with l' (apostrophe) when the noun starts with a vowel to avoid awkward pronunciation.
ADVICE

Memorize Key Town Places

  • Memorize common public places: ospedale, ufficio postale, agenzia di viaggi, università.
  • Practice their pronunciation and stress, e.g., università stresses the last syllable.
