			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traveling to Italy may be a lifelong travel dream and can be even more enjoyable if the traveler knows a few phrases. It is considered polite and respectful to begin speaking to Italians in their language even if they may speak English.

<p>1. Parla Inglese? &#8211; Do you speak English? Start with &#8220;Excuse Me&#8221; or a greeting of &#8220;Ciao&#8221; before asking the locals to speak English. </p>
<p>2. Mi scusi. &#8211; Excuse me. This is used when needing attention as<span id="more-7"></span> opposed to &#8220;Permesso&#8221; used to say &#8220;Excuse me&#8221; in passing. </p>
<p>3. Aiuto! &#8211; Help!</p>
<p>4. Quanto Costa? &#8211; How much does this cost? Use this when shopping if you are unsure of the posted prices. Some shops in Italy may not have price tags on each individual item. </p>
<p>5. Arrivederci &#8211; Good-bye.</p>
<p>6. Mi chiamo (insert name). &#8211; I am called. Use this to tell locals your full name or nickname.</p>
<p>7. Non parlo l&#8217;italiano. &#8211; I do not speak Italian.</p>
<p>8. Per favore. &#8211; Please. </p>
<p>9. Como si chiama? &#8211; What is your name? </p>
<p>10. Prego. &#8211; You&#8217;re welcome</p>
