Shopping at an Italian Supermarket: Lesson Guide

Shopping for groceries in an Italian *supermercato* is a practical skill for any traveler or expat. This roleplay prepares you to ask for specific groceries, find the correct aisle, and interact with the cashier.

Language & Cultural Tips

In Italy, a supermarket aisle is called "il corridoio". At the cash register (*la cassa*), the clerk will usually ask if you have a loyalty card ("la tessera fedeltà") and if you need a bag ("il sacchetto" or la busta). Supermarkets charge a few cents for bags, which are required by law to be biodegradable.
