Unit 1 Review: First Meetings
Welcome to your Unit 1 Review! In this lesson, we will practice everything you’ve learned so far about meeting people in Italian.
1. Greetings & Farewells
- Ciao – Hello / Bye (informal)
- Buongiorno – Good morning
- Arrivederci – Goodbye (formal)
2. Introductions & Names
Use Mi chiamo to say your name, and Piacere to say ‘Nice to meet you’.
3. Origins
To say where you are from, use Sono di plus the city or country, or Vengo da.
Common Mistakes
Don’t confuse Buongiorno (Good morning) with Buonanotte (Good night)! Remember that Ciao is informal and shouldn’t be used with strangers or teachers.
