About this activity
An Italian-language travel role-play for high-school students, who spend a simulated seven days and €500 across Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan completing everyday tasks in Italian.
Who is Una Settimana in Italia for?
Suits high-school Italian students, likely in their first or second year, who already know basic greetings and numbers and are practising using them in realistic situations rather than meeting the language for the first time.
What does Una Settimana in Italia teach, and how?
Students travel day by day through four Italian cities, handling encounters like buying tickets, ordering food and sorting out a hotel problem by choosing or typing Italian responses, with optional English translations on the early days and free hints throughout. A persistent interface tracks the day, city, wallet and confidence, and a travel journal collects the Italian phrases they meet along the way.
How is success measured in Una Settimana in Italia?
Progress is shown through a stamp and itinerary tracker (such as progress 0/26), a confidence meter that moves from levels like Timido upward, and remaining money in the wallet rather than a right-or-wrong score. Mistakes lead to hints and retries instead of penalties, so doing well means completing objectives and managing the budget sensibly.
How long does Una Settimana in Italia take, and what does it need?
The trip is organised as a seven-day, four-city journey meant to be played in stages city by city, with no mention of needing sound, since audio can be toggled and the app states hints are always free.
