Talking About Your Summer in Italian (Without Complicated Grammar)

Many students feel pressure to describe their vacation using complex past tenses.

But you don’t need advanced grammar to talk about your summer.

Start simple.

Ad agosto sono andata al mare.Ho passato una settimana in Toscana.È stato bellissimo.

Grammar hint:

The passato prossimo is perfect for vacation stories.

Structure:

• avere/essere + past participle

• Ho mangiato, sono andata, abbiamo visitato

  
  

Notice that movement verbs often use essere:

• Sono andato/a al mare.

  
  

Even with just the present tense, you can talk about plans:Ad agosto vado in Sicilia.

Italian allows flexibility. Don’t wait to be perfect — start speaking.

And if you’d like to practice describing your vacation confidently and naturally, I’d love to help you.
