At the Office or School

Welcome to your A2 lesson on navigating the workplace and classroom in Italian! Whether you are talking to colleagues or teachers, knowing these terms will help you describe your daily routine.

Key Vocabulary

In an office (l'ufficio) or a classroom (l'aula), you deal with various tools and people. Here are some common nouns:

• la riunione – the meeting
• il computer – the computer
• il documento – the document

Useful Patterns

We often need to ask for things or state where we work. Notice how prepositions work with locations:

• lavorare in ufficio – to work in the office
• avere una riunione – to have a meeting

Common Mistake: Do not confuse l'ufficio (the office) with l'aula (the classroom). Also, remember that nouns ending in consonants like computer do not change their form in the plural!
