Most people in Milan speak English fortunately but if you fancy trying to speak a bit of basic Italian, here are some phrases you might need...
(Check pronunciations on Google Translate if you're not sure)
Buon giorno Good morning/afternoon
Buona sera Good evening (for use when the sun has turned the land golden)
Buona notte Goodnight
Come stai? How are you?
Sto bene/male I'm fine/not so good
Come va? How's it going?
Va bene It's going well/ok/alright
Per favore Please
Grazie (mille) Thank you (very much)
Vorrei un biglietto.. I would like a ticket
..di solo andata A single
..di andate e ritorno A return
Vorrei due biglietti I would like two tickets
Quanto costa? How much does it cost?
Un cono piccolo A small cone
..con due gusti ..with two flavours
Un cono grande A large cone
..con quattro gusti ..with four flavours (I wish!)
Dov'e' il bagno? Where's the toilet?
Dov'e' _____? Where is ______?
Sinistra Left
Destra Right
Giri Turn
Sempre dritto Straight ahead
And as long as you have your basic Italian knowledge (i.e spaghetti, pizza, pasta, gelato) you're good to go!
Let me know if there are any other translations that would be useful!
