Listen Up & Learn – Episode #12
I’ve found this episode very useful… even if most Italian pilots usually make announcements in both english and italian, it was fun and useful to compare the standard Italian with the English version.
I thought that the word Gate translated as Uscita when referring to airports, not as Cancello.
