Practice Your First Day at Work in Italijanščina
Your first day in a Italijanščina-speaking workplace is overwhelming: new names, new processes, new acronyms, and a language register you've rarely practised. This scenario rehearses the introductions, the polite questions to ask HR, the small talk in the break room, and the moment when someone asks you to do something you don't quite understand. You'll learn the Italijanščina verbs for office life ('to onboard', 'to set up', 'to ramp up'), and the polite formulas for asking questions without seeming lost.
