I studied using the practice exams. [link under review]

In chrome you can translate with a click so I went back and forth between the languages. I took the practice exams so many times I had memorized some of the questions.

I signed up for the required class and the instructor let me skip attendance. 

I paid a young friend to go with as my interpreter for the 6 hours of mandatory driving lessons.

I failed the first theory test and passed the second time with missing only one question.

When it was my turn for the practical test I didn't wait for the guy to ask about the engine or tires and just started pointing to the oil, gas, water. telling him what I know with a couple of words. He chuckled and stopped me, as he said, because I knew my stuff. I would not have understood any questions he would have asked. There are only a few things you need to know about the vehicle.

I have some learning glitches and zero memory so learning the language is difficult. I still don't speak enough Italian to have a conversation but I have my license.

Best of luck.

I just saw your post. Trusting it’s recent. My husband and I live in Italy x 16 months. We are not proficient enough at this point to think we’d pass the DL test.

My husband is better than myself. Our atty’s American paralegal tells us it’s a nightmare!

My searches tell me, 1) be brave, 2) memorize, 3) find a school where you will be living that will teach in English so you can learn in Italian?, 4) unless you want to test with a manual transmission, make arrangements for an automatic w/ school, 5) 10 months, give it 10 months… and for me know there’s a module re: mechanics of the vehicle?

If this is your first year in IT, drive on your US DL with an International DL from AAA…

Do not buy a car without your DL and understand you will be restricted to the type of car you can drive x 10 years.

Lease if you can… my 2 cents!

Genius!

I really admire your creativity in obtaining your license.

I,  like you, have a learning disability when it comes to languages and still cannot understand Italian when spoken. This after many years of studying and living here.

Bravo
