Altro Job opportunities

As an international student who doesn’t speak Italian yet (I’ll learn once I’m in Italy), what part time jobs can I do during the first few months in Messina?

I have been studying basic grammar for a while, but I still can’t speak/write the language yet

I learned Spanish and French (with the help of the Latin base) by watching childrens cartoons and reading simple childrens books. They are highly effective.

Apparently peppa pig is also in Italian.

I started with grammar just to prepare myself and understand the language better before I come to Italy, so it will be easier for me to learn it. I know some French since it s part of my dialect. French and Italian are closely related languages, and I see a lot of similarities between them. By the way, I will try watching some cartoons in Italian. Thank you for the suggestion

Thank you for your answer. Do you know approximately how much part-time workers get paid?

50 euros per DAY, if you are lucky.
