Advice
1. Try not to think in English first, but use Italian expressions that youve read or
heard before. Thats the best way to avoid translationese. E.g. dont think
whats your name and translate che tuo nome (the horror!) but use come
ti chiami.
2. Each person should have at least 10 significant lines.
3. Ideally you perform your dialog without any notes at all. If you need to consult
your notes, you will be marked down.
4. Never memorize anything that hasnt been checked by an authority
(professor, native speaker, tutor, advanced student).
