This woman feels lucky to live here, but actually Italy's the lucky one. Brava!

In my humble opinion the Italian Board of Tourism should be paying you for your beautiful promotion of Italy and Italian culture. Your videos are on par with Italy’s finest works of art. You are a class act Ms. Flavell.💐.....and yes, manners matter.

When I was in Florence I stopped on my way to class at one of the bars you filmed in, and a bird wandered in and just hung out on the floor in front of the bar for a while. Little things like that that wouldn’t happen in America are so chill in other places.

Kylie have you considered doing just an Italian language tutorial series? I think it would be a resounding success. Your work is wonderful.

You should honestly make your own skillshare course on the culture/ language of travelling to Italy! I think it'd do really well!

Planning my fifth trip to beautiful Italy next May. I've been refreshing my terrible Italian and stumbled across some of your videos. If your goal was to educate...done. if your goal was to entertain...goal achieved. If you're goal was to have me fall in love with you...TRIFECTA!!! You come across as intelligent, engaging, and just adorable. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Bravissima!!!

I just love your filming its so professional and dreamy

From one Italian language teacher to another, great job.

Kylie, I have been self studying italian for many months now and keep going back to this video. It is so helpful, and I especially love the 'dialogue' section where the viewer gets to respond. If you ever have time, please consider making more videos like this -- learning about not only how to say things but the culture behind them is so amazing!!

I have also found that manners are very important! I agree they are especially important now.

You definitely teach the language how it should be taught, unlike many textbooks. Whoever is trying to learn some Italian will do well watching you, as it is exactly what they need to know when in Italy.

A sincere smile can make life look better.

Luckily Italians brought their coffee culture to Australia. Aussies love their Italian style coffee. I love your video. You are a good teacher.

The people here are very nice and helpful. I feel very comfortable.

You need your own travel show. Props to you for not waiting and for just going for it and doing it on your own.

Hi Kylie, this is a great video! Thank you. I must say, having spent a lot of money studying Italian F/T at language school, I learned more in your 30 minute video, than in many days spent in the classroom. What a simple, elegant and highly practical way to introduce and explain the congiuntivo and condizionale. Grazie tante, sei il migliore

Thank you so much. This video was quite time consuming to make so your words mean a lot to me. 🙏

The coffee, the language, the atmosphere a Firenze -- tutto bello. But I also really love your style, mainly because it is so literary and romantic and reminds me of Meryl Streep in Out of Africa, or Vita Sackville-West, or Audrey Hepburn. Tu porti un po 'di bellezza al mio giorno. Grazie.

As a frequent visitor to Italy, apart from this year, and yet being confident in ordering coffee, I still found this video lesson absorbing. Artful.

Beautiful. I normally fast forward past a long intro in a KZread video. Here, I've gone back to view it again. Man, I want to return to Italy!

30 seconds in and I felt my soul leave my body....beautiful ❤️

By law there are 2 ways to pay for food and drink in Italy. Pay first, get your receipt and then ask for what you paid for or ask for something, get served and then pay for it. The former method is customary in very busy places where you want to make sure everyone has paid and it would be impractical or difficult to implement the other system. An example of this system is what happens when you stop at an Autogrill in Italy. The latter system is pretty common in places that are not as busy which means most places outside big cities, train stations and the like. Hope this explanation helps clarify the matter.

Grazie, Kylie! Your videos are beyond compare! As a retired teacher, (dreaming of moving to Italy about one year from now), I appreciate your patience, and the obvious time and effort you have put into this and all of your videos! I'm a native English speaker, rather fluent in Spanish which I studied in the 80s and 90s. So Spanish is helping me a lot! Viva Italia!

I loved this so much!!!!!

I am living for the shots of this bar! I love your eye behind the camera, and how you always seem to know just the right angle and shot to invoke a particular mood. This bar is absolutely beautiful, and this video is such a nice break from the drudgery of lockdown and quarantine. Thank you for making such beautiful videos!

This is amazing. I will never forget when I was in high school 10 years ago and went to Italy. I was in Florence and going into a coffee shop was crazy! There was a rush of people and somehow you order, pay, and then get the drink. It was very different. They saw some of my friends as Americans and almost right away ignored them so it got to the point where I had to order in Spanish and they took that way better than speaking English. Soon I hope to go back!

😂😂 Thank you Michelle. Yes, my very first time living in Florence I only spoke Spanish but you’re right - it is much more accepted than English.

I love this phrase when I’m having trouble communicating. Mi dispiace che il mio italiano non sia ancora molto buono, ma imparo di più ogni giorno!

This is funny. This is my first week in Italy and went into the first bakery shop that spoke no English. I proceeded to order by pointing and saying “una” for just one piece. We both kept smiling because we knew we didn’t understand each other but still completed the order. And now I’m in my hotel snd I come across your video after that situation. Thank you I can’t wait to order a coffee tmrw!!

Dearest Kylie, it is true manners, respect and politeness are incredibly important both when traveling and within our own communities. It is one of the aspects in why I long to return to Italia to live. Thank you for a wonderful video! Forse un giorno, presto, sarò abbastanza sicuro di poter scrivere un comments come questo in italiano. Grazie Lei!

So thoughtful of you, to teach us in such a beautiful cinematic way. ❣️

You must have befriended the owners of Gilli and convinced them to let you in to film while they were closed! It's usually cram packed! I'm sighing thinking of the candied chestnuts and the sugared rose petals I used to love getting from there! More videos like this, please! Wonderful!

This kind of video is so complementary with my italian lessons, I love it so much! Thanks a lot Kylie! Yes of course manners count 😘

You make me see my country so fashionable! Great job!

Cara Kylie. Over the years, I've had this dream of becoming a language teacher, but my confidence ( or lack of) always gets in the way. This video was a stark reminder of how much fun it is to both learn and teach a language. Words turn into sentences, communication turns into conversation and it's liberating. It is truly joyous to be able to speak a second language and, over time, have that language become part of your soul. This lovely video came at precisely the right time. Thank you for reminding me of that dream.

On point and I'm up to date with ordering coffee now. Brilliant video you have shown us. Kylie your the gold standard young lady. Absolutely nothing can compare to your talent and inspiration to so many people. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel. Well done young lady. Thanks

I love this kind of videos. I love Italy and I've been trying to learn the language by myself for years now. It was amazing when I was saying the last phrase at the same time than you. I was thinking how beautiful it is that I, a mexican spanish speaker currently living in Mexico, and you, a australian english speaker currently living in Italy were saying the same phrase in italian. I mean thirty years ago who would ever thought about this being possible? Thank god for the internet and thank you for making these amazing (and very useful) videos.

Thanks a million, Kyle ! You have the teacher in you ! Very useful and so nice to listen to !

Absolutely loved this video! The intro is soo beautiful, it made me want to hop on a plane to Italy at once! Also love that you take on the different questions one might get asked at the counter when ordering and also how to respond. Exactly what one would need to order a coffee in Italy

Kylie...you're brilliant! You anticipate and include every scenario to prepare us for...you're a great teacher! Bravo!

Thank you for the Italian lesson. Much appreciated. And yes manners are so important. Good manner make a person be so delightful to be around.

Brava, Kylie! Not only for an excellent, well-structured and engaging lesson, but also for highlighting the importance of manners. Yes, they are a super power! Grazie!

I have just discovered your site and watched one of your first posts when you first arrived in Italy. You have certainly come a long way and are such an example of how dreams can come true if you are patient and persistent. Well done!

This is excellent advice and quite inspirational ! I came across Kylie's channel a couple of weeks ago as I am currently learning Italian and I have found the videos more than helpful - what a pity I did not discover the channel earlier. An really high quality standard of presentation and audio which makes such a hugely refreshing change to some of the other material which is often posted. Thank you Kylie and keep up the fantastic work!!!

Hello Kylie. I now have been following your art for close to a month. Love your pieces. Pure poetry and color. Starts my day right. Very inspiring!

I listened to this again. I love the way you emphasize the pronunciation. grazie mille. very helpful.

Searching for a long time...so far, this is the best Italian lesson I ever found👍👍👍Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! Can’t wait to learn more from your videos😃😃😃

Kylie, Sending you all love, and thank you for the latest video. I am taking time to learn abit. being a visual person, the combination of your presence, the writing and images really makes it natural for me to learn otherwise I am just unable to absorb. I love your naural reactions to being healthy ..Thats the best part when you teach is the personal connections made by getting to know someone .❤❤😊
