🇮🇹 Italian · Beginner Level 1

PART 1 · LESSON 10 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Brava

On the last day of the course in Bologna, each student cooks one dish for Signora Ada, and Laura cooks the first recipe in her grandmother's notebook, a pasta from the mountains that the teacher has to read to her. Then the goodbyes. Ask why and answer because, say something is easy or difficult, big or small, ask how something went, say it was delicious, and wish someone good luck, the Italian way.

THE STORY

It's Friday, the last day of the course in Bologna. Each student cooks one dish for Signora Ada, and Laura has chosen the first recipe in her grandmother's notebook. But it's in an old hand, and she can't read it. At one o'clock, the teacher tastes. Then it's time for goodbyes. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
