Listening is a difficult skill but you can prepare for different common situations by learning words and phrases for particular situations. It is also important to predict the phrases and vocabulary you will hear. 

Because English and Italian are very different languages, it can be useful to create a phrase book of useful phrases and words to use in everyday situations.

On this website there is also the translation in Italian and audio.

On the second page, there are alternative ways to say the phrases in the dialogue.

Watching films in the origianl language can be a good way to learn everyday phrases. Try watching a film that you already know in Italian, or try watching with subtitles in Italian or better in English.
