Navigating Rome Without Italian: Totally Doable

You can get around Rome without speaking Italian. English is widely spoken in tourism, hospitality, museums, and by younger Romans. Practical tips:

• Learn 5 phrases: Buongiorno, Grazie, Scusi, Dov'è…?, Il conto, per favore.
• Carry a map/offline GPS (Google Maps, Maps.me).
• Use translation apps (Google Translate camera for menus/signs).
• Write addresses in Italian for taxi drivers.
• Ask for help—Romans generally assist politely.

Major signs (metro, stations, museums) are bilingual. The language barrier is low for standard tourist needs.
