LITTLE TOOLS. REAL CONVERSATIONS.

Conversation starters in English, Spanish & Italian

A first hello, a coffee plan, or a gentle “say that again.” Choose two languages and take a useful phrase into your next conversation.

Original, prewritten examples. Spanish and Italian use informal singular tú / tu where needed. Choose a more formal phrasing when the relationship calls for it.
