Questions
Which Italian is this?
Standard Italian as colleagues speak it in offices in Milan and Rome. Swiss Italian offices mostly say the same, with a few words of their own.
Should I say tu or Lei at work?
Most Italian teams use tu between colleagues, even with managers in younger companies. Use Lei with clients, senior people and anyone you have just met, and switch when they offer.
Why are there English words like slide and call?
Because Italian offices really use them. The pack teaches the word your colleagues actually say, with its gender.
Is the pack really free?
Yes. A free account keeps all 50 words in your deck, with audio, an example and a note on when to use each one. No card needed.
