The various ways you can go about learning to talk Italian
Is it easy to get around in the city, and on the rails to other cities? What are good places to see in Bologna? I understand that the Italians are rather friendly.

You won’t have much trouble getting around in Bologna or other large cities here. Many people speak English and they are friendly. I’ve been living about an hour from Bologna for several years. Most of the old town is in a very small area. There’s a very good archeological museum. The Neptune Fountain is very nice and the Basilica di San Petronio is worth a visit. The Museo di Giorgio Morandi and the Sala Urbana in the Palazzo Communale feature works by Bologna artists. The National Picture gallery is good too. You can climb the Asinelli tower for some good views.
Be sure to walk through the area between the church and the towers – there are some good food shops.
Bologna is a good location for traveling to other cities. Florence is only about an hour and Venice and Verona are easy trips. Ferrara and Ravenna are both worth visiting too. While you’re there, Modena is a pretty nice city too. You can get to the Ferrari Museum south of the city.
Bologna is a really NOT safe place to hang out in.
I have couple of friends who actually went there last year to study.Bologna has the best university but now they are all back.
Is really scary, especially for you that you are a tourist, to walk at night around the streets. You will find pushers, homeless and all sorts of gangs, especially from Rumania and Albania.
Why don’t you go somewhere else??
Capri for exemple… or Venice..
No keep to English, because if you don’t like someone you can swear at them in English and they won’t no what you’re saying!
no but it helps a bit
Learning another language completely before heading to Italy, or Europe in general, is not at all neccessary. It is polite however to take some time to pick up a few key phrases and try to initiate communication with these. Europeans, particularly the younger generations, will know English better than most of us know Italian.
When you purchase rail tickets, try writing down the time you want, the destination, and the date and handing this to the counter person. This often simplifies the process and eliminates any stumbling through a language barrier (if there is one to begin with).
