Here's some tips I've learned that I'd like to share:
Taking the subway, go to the newstand (yes the newstand) and say: Due biglietti pre favore, d'andata e ritorno (meaning two tickets please, round trip). That's good for two days. If you want more - tre (3) etc.
Be sure hold onto the ticket - as some stations (not the Fiera) - you need to put it in the machine again to get out.
other important phrases:
Parla inglese? (Do you speak English)
Scusi (Excuse me - important as at the fair you are ALWAYS bumping into someone)
Non parlo italiano (I don't speak Italian)
Mi dispiace (I'm sorry)
Grazie (Thank you)
Prego (You're welcome)
For directions, (Dove?) - Where is?
But the best practice is with your hands....and a map or guide book....to show them where you want to and they show you with their hands....
Any other help from anyone would be welcomed, I 'm sure.
