- Lucas: Ciao Luna, ready for another Italian episode? Luna: Ciao Lucas! Yes, I'm hungry just thinking about it. What are we learning today? Lucas: Today, we're going to a pizzeria. We'll learn how to order pizza in Italian. Luna: Oh, perfect! I love pizza. Let's start. Lucas: First, you need to get the menu. Say: 'Il menu, per cortesia.' Luna: Il menu, per cortesia. That means 'The menu, please.' Lucas: Exactly. Now, when you decide what pizza you want, say: 'Vorrei una pizza margherita.' Luna: Vorrei una pizza margherita. That's 'I would like a margherita pizza.' Lucas: Right. 'Vorrei' is a polite way to say 'I would like'. Try it. Luna: Vorrei una pizza margherita. That's nice and easy. Lucas: If you want a drink too, say: 'Prendo anche una bottiglia d'acqua.' Luna: Prendo anche una bottiglia d'acqua. 'I'll also take a bottle of water.' Lucas: Yes. 'Prendo' means 'I take'. Now, when you're ready to pay, you ask: 'Quant'è?' Luna: Quant'è? That's 'How much is it?' Lucas: And when you want the bill, say: 'Il conto, per favore.' Luna: Il conto, per favore. That's 'The check, please.' Lucas: Great. Let's practice a full scene. You walk into a pizzeria. The waiter comes. Luna: Okay. 'Il menu, per cortesia.' Lucas: Good. The waiter brings the menu. Luna: Then I say: 'Vorrei una pizza margherita e prendo anche una bottiglia d'acqua.' Lucas: Perfect! After you eat, you ask for the bill. Luna: Quant'è? Oh wait, I should say 'Il conto, per favore' first, right? Lucas: Exactly. You can say 'Il conto, per favore' and then ask 'Quant'è?' Luna: So: 'Il conto, per favore. Quant'è?' Lucas: You've got it. Now, let's practice the pronunciation. Repeat after me: 'Vorrei una pizza margherita.' Luna: Vorrei una pizza margherita. Lucas: Prendo anche una bottiglia d'acqua. Luna: Prendo anche una bottiglia d'acqua. Lucas: Il conto, per favore. Luna: Il conto, per favore. Lucas: You sound like a local already.
