Say “There’s an elevator over there.” (pp.52–3)
Ask “Do I need…?” (pp.92–3)
What is the Italian for “mouth” and “head”? (pp.90–1)
2 Useful phrases
All’ospedale
At the hospital
It is useful to know a few basic phrases relating to hospitals for use in an emergency or in case you need to visit a friend or colleague in the hospital. Emergency departments will treat all urgent cases free of charge, but citizens of non-EU countries need to sign a payment declaration.
Familiarize yourself with these phrases. Conceal the Italian with the cover flap and test yourself.
