When traveling do you always ask the meaning of words or customs you do not understand?

In English, sometimes we use “Capice?” said with a rising intonation for “Do you understand?”

Thanks for another great lesson!

Ciao
I’ve just joined and I’m really enjoying learning this lovely language -
Question: is there a glitch in the “Expansion questions” - vocabulary test and content test? in the first I answered correctly to “non capisco” as I don’t understand and “non lo so” as I don’t know yet it shows as incorrect, even though further down in the test it clearly shows it’s correct.
in the second there appears to be information missing in order to answer some of the questions. Comments most welcome.
Grazie mille - ciao - Angela
