I’m 2 minutes into the first video of yours I’ve watched, and ❤️ it!!!!! Having the native speaker say the word, say the word slowly and having the phonetic spelling of the word/phase is just perfect for my visual learning style. Thanks so much!!!!!!! Off to Italy 🇮🇹 in a few weeks. I’ll definitely be using what I learn here. ✈️🍷🍝

She definitely isn't a native speaker. She has a rather strange pronunciation.

This is wonderful! Grazie! I'd love a tutorial on the Italian pronunciation of common places to visit in Italy, i.e. colluseum. Grazie!

So, so helpful! I'll be spending a day in Venice and Rome next week and wanted at least a baseline understanding of how to show thanks, order something, ask for directions, etc. This was super helpful and the inclusion of you giving context on when to/when not to use the word, a native speaker saying it, and the pronunciation was super helpful. Going to move on to your other videos, too!

Thank you for sharing this. I ❤ it. The phonetic spelling of the word is a big help.

Thank you, I loved this video, even more excited for my trip now! 🥰

This is excellent. Will be returning. You are very clear and to the point!!!❤

Very good video, thanks for the transcription, one suggestion is to keep phrases longer on the screen. Grazie mille!

I am in Italy at the moment and this has been great to take in

This was actually really helpful

Thanks for sharing this video. 😍

A great and informative video. My wife and I will be in Florence in a week and look forward to using some of these very helpful phrases. Grazie!

Brilliant lessons!

Thanks. This is so useful

Grazie, very easy to follow and understand. With just a few weeks until I leave for Italy, I will use your videos and Instagram to brush up and review. I will be in Florence for two weeks then in Venice for a month, shopping for groceries and getting to know people I do hope my Italian will improve. Salute

I need your help, I read that is In Italian the 2nd to last syllable is by default most usually prolonged or stress like Italiano (it-ta-li-A-no) or legère(lay-GEH-ray) or Nicolo. It recently learnt that the placement of accent marks(diacritical) marks can affect the rhythm (stress/accent) of the word, like Itáliano(i-tA-li-a-no) or lègere (lÈH-gay-ray) or Nícolo (NÍ-co-lo). The word I am trying to understand is a name , if Perugini= (pe-ru-GI-ni), would this be correct= Pèrugini( PEH-ru-gi-ni)
