To work here, do I need to improve my Italian?
'Migliorare' = mi-lyo-RA-reh. Four syllables; stress the third. The 'gli' sounds like 'ly' in 'million'.
Use this if you are an international intern working in Italy and you want honest feedback on your language skills. Asking shows self-awareness and commitment to improving.
A direct but humble question that opens a constructive conversation about language. Using 'devo' (do I need to/must I) frames it as a practical requirement, not a personal insecurity.
