Local language - Everyday Italian:
Create a personal “Italian for volunteering” mini-guide with at least 10 useful words and 10 useful phrases. They can be related to your volunteering activity, workplace or local life (grocery shopping, everyday items, short local interactions with neighbours…). Reflect on what you are mostly interested in learning in the local language.
Do you have any tip for a newly arriving volunteer on learning the language faster and
more efficiently? Feel free to add them too.
Upload your personalised guide and try to put it in practice in an activity or everyday life interaction.

Language exchange:
Tandem time!
Find someone to teach some basics of your language in your organisation or your volunteering place. You can meet a local youngster who is interested in language exchange events organised by InCo, too.
In return, ask that person or group of people to help you learn some basics in the local language too.
For the evidence, describe briefly who was your learning peer partner and what new things you learn. Upload your answer in a document.
