Italian Language Game: Alla stazione ferroviaria

Italian Language Game: Alla stazione ferroviaria - At the train station
In this quick online game, you'll practice 14 Italian words and phrases in the context of a brief story.
Marco takes the train from Pisa to Florence, where he visits a friend.
The mini-story is also part of our Italian 1 course.
(You can play the complete course for FREE by registering HERE.)

Say the words and phrases OUT LOUD with or right after the native speaker.
Don't translate, and try to understand as you speak!
You'll also improve your pronunciation and listening skills.
Note that in Italian, the words for "I, you, he, she" etc. are often dropped, unless they are needed for clarity or emphasis.
After you've practiced and recalled the individual words, you'll hear the mini-story again.
This time "shadow" the sentences, by saying them together with the speaker in natural speed.
