    Bologna is such an amazing choice! It’s the perfect compromise in Italy with its rich history, vibrant culture, and fantastic food scene. Plus, the cost of living is reasonable compared to other major Italian cities. The local community is incredibly welcoming, making it an ideal place for expats and anyone looking to experience authentic Italian life. If you’re considering moving to Europe, definitely check out Bologna! 🇮🇹✨

    Why always Amsterdam? It's a pretty nice city, but as a Dutch guy I think Amsterdam is overrated. The Netherlands also has other nice big cities like Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven.

      I understand what you mean, but to most English speakers what you wrote means something different. What you want to say is "Krakow is *pronounced* like 'Krakov', etc. And speaking of spelling Polish names correctly, it's actually "Kraków", which is pronounced "Krakuuff", and "Wrocław", which is pronounced "Vrotswav". I lived in Poland for two years teaching English and travelled all over the country. (And btw, saying "Krakow" is perfectly standard in English) 🙂

    Thanks for adding to the subject of where to live in Europe as my girlfriend and I are looking for something more longterm, and I always study and watch these kinds of videos to the end! I've already lived in Denmark, Germany, and Poland for a number of years, so I mostly already know the drill of living in Europe, and language is not a big problem for me as I'm a language enthusiast and polyglot. As for "mistakes" that other people have mentioned, they're inevitable, but I didn't think there were all that many in your video. You probably noticed yourself that you had footage from Ukraine when talking about Sofia, Bulgaria (as evidenced by the Ukrainian flag!). Also, I found your pronunciation of "Florence" a little odd, as though you might have never had an Auntie Florence or heard of old-time actress Florence Henderson! And don't tell Polish people that Poland is "Eastern" Europe! That's Russia, and the Poles are not all too fond of the Russians! And for a city that was "left off", how about Istanbul? Our absolute favorite city so far, and on our short list of European cities to live in! 🙂 (And btw, the way you said Krakow is perfectly fine in English, but natively it's just a little different! 🙂)
