Welcome back, viaggiatori!!
So, you’ve landed in Italy 🇮🇹 — and you’re ready to explore! But… wait.
You step outside the station, take a deep breath, look around, and—
you have **no idea where to go!
Don’t worry — in today’s episode, we’ll help you move around town like a true Italian.
Survival phrase #1: “Scusi, dov’è…?"
This will be your best friend sentence when you’re lost.
Scusi, dov’è la stazione?
➡️ Excuse me, where is the station?
➡️ Disculpe, ¿dónde está la estación?
You can replace la stazione with il bagno (bathroom), il museo (museum), or la fermata dell’autobus (bus stop).
🧠 Remember
“Scusi” → formal, polite (to strangers or older people)
“Scusa” → informal (to friends or people your age)
Example:
👨🦱 “Scusi, dov’è il supermercato?”
👩🦰 “Sempre dritto, poi a sinistra!”
📍 Survival phrase #2: “È lontano da qui?”
If you’re wondering how far your destination is, just ask:
👉 “È lontano da qui?”
➡️ Is it far from here?
➡️ ¿Está lejos de aquí?
If the answer is “No, è vicino!”, great — you can walk.
If you hear “Sì, è un po’ lontano…”, maybe it’s time to grab a bus! 🚌

Survival phrase #3: “Vado a piedi.”

➡️ I’m going on foot.
➡️ Voy a pie.
It’s short, natural, and very Italian 🇮🇹.
Example:
👩🦰 “Vai in autobus?”
👨🦱 “No, vado a piedi.”
