Practice Renting an Apartment in İtalyanca
Renting an apartment in a İtalyanca-speaking country combines tour-and-pitch conversation with the legal-document register — and the words you need to negotiate confidently are very different from textbook İtalyanca. This scenario walks through visiting an apartment, asking the right questions about utilities and contracts, negotiating the deposit, and signing the lease. You'll practise the formal register for landlord conversations, the vocabulary for fittings and amenities, and the polite-but-firm language for raising concerns about the price or the condition.
