….you may well be surprised at the number of non-Italians there. I was. I went to Parco Sempione in Milan on Sunday to relax and read a book. While sitting there I noticed that about 50% of the passers by were not speaking Italian. I heard French, Spanish, English and one or two languages I could not recognise.

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
Milan is really quite a cosmopolitan place.
