What you will learn about Italian shopping prices

This lesson breaks Shopping & Prices into small, practical steps. You start with the essentials, see how they are used in real situations, and then apply them yourself with guided practice and examples.

Each item comes with audio you can replay, a simple English meaning, and a memory cue. By the end you will recognise and use what you learned with confidence, which is exactly what the A1 level of the Learn to speak Italian course expects at this stage. First, we look at the meaning. Then, we practise it in context. Finally, we check it with a quiz.

How to practise Italian shopping prices

Read each line once, then listen and repeat it aloud. Repeat the set until you can recall every item without looking. After that, take the quiz at the end of the lesson: a correct answer earns Mondi points and keeps your daily streak alive. If you miss one, the lesson shows it again, so the material is reviewed at the right moment.

You can skip ahead any time, but the lesson counts towards your certificate only when it is completed. Explore the rest of the Learn to speak Italian course on Mondosol, and read the official CEFR level descriptions to see what each level means. Ready?
