Please explain the sentence, “che cosa c’e’ che non va.”
what’s wrong with the room, I don’t understand the translation.
Grazie, Canice

This is a great and very useful lesson. I’m sure it will come in very handy when I visit Italy in April.
I was wondering if you could create a lesson for vegetarian people when ordering food in Italy. It would be a great help.
Grazie mille! and keep up the good work.

Come va? I found this lesson very useful. I am studying Italian now in Australia and visiting Italy at the beginning of April. Is it possible to do a lesson on useful phrases concerning Italian night life?. Such as ordering drinks, offering beverages to friends and ways to initiate a conversation with someone in a club?
Grazie
