5 ITALIAN PHRASES FOR VACATION IN ITALY

- Travelling to Italy? Many of you have asked for more videos to help you learn beginner Italian, either for when you vacation in Italy or if you're studying the language to one day move to Italy, so here are some easy phrases and a few unusual tips I used when I first moved to Italy. If you're new to my channel, I have lived in Italy for about 10 years - in Rome, Florence and Positano on the Amalfi Coast and travelled all throughout Italy, working as a travel TV presenter, filmmaker and travel journalist.
Don't forget to follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy (mostly!) to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

I’m a beginner in studying Italian...Please, make more beginner lessons. It’s so helpful to hear the language. Italian is such a beautiful language. Thank you!
Good evening everyone. First of all, I offer my warmest congratulations to Kylie for her excellent Italian and I thank her for all the love and respect with which she expresses herself when talking about my beloved country. Having said that, since I have seen that we talk about Italian terms and the differences between masculine and feminine and singular and plural, allow me a small addition since it is a small mistake that I often see foreigners who speak little or are learning to speak Italian make. . In Italian, we have some words that can deceive those who are not native speakers; in fact, in the singular they are masculine, but in the plural they pass to the feminine! here is an example: Il CARCERE (jail/prison) in the singular it is masculine, but in the plural it becomes feminine- LE CARCERI-. Here are a couple of examples: (conversation between friends):” Marco mi puoi ripetere in quale CARCERE lavori come guardia?”. M:“Certo! Il CARCERE di Trieste” ("Marco, can you tell me in which prison do you work as a guard?". M:"Sure! The Trieste’s prison (called “Coroneo”). Now as you can see here the noun is singular and therefore it is masculine, but if we now make it plural, this happens: (newspaper headline):” Per motivo di sicurezza i colpevoli verranno trasferiti verso LE PRIGIONI di Venezia e Padova”( "For security reasons, the guilty men will be transferred to the prisons of Venice and Padua").
as you can see now the noun has changed from the feminine to the plural. Another word that behaves like this in Italian is "GREGGE" (flock) singular: "IL GREGGE"-the flock- (masculine) Plural: "LE GREGGI" - the flocks- (feminine).
I hope I have been helpful in explaining these little tricks of our beautiful language. I realize they may seem difficult, but to become fluent in Italian it is good to know them. You will not regret the time it takes to learn them! ☺️ Having said that again thanks a lot to Kylei and a good "In bocca al lupo" (Good luck)to all those who are learning Italian! ☺️✌🏻
Please make more Italian language lessons. These are amazing! So much more beautiful and engaging than anything else I have found.
Your content and engagement is unbelievable thank you for giving us your beautiful magic
I was 100% expecting a straightforward video on idioms (I know, how dared I underestimate Kylie?!) and was SO pleasantly surprised by this warm, beautiful instructional video full of welcoming energy that really transports you to one of those personal connections.
I found myself trying to explain your videos the other day and I butchered it because I could not even begin to explain the energy and emotion your videos provoke in me. Eventually I just stopped trying, sent them a link "Just watch it. You'll understand what I mean"
This is just so encouraging for me to read. Thank you for always making me feel so special and appreciated. Xxxx
Kylie, this is so useful. I had no idea about 'Mi fido di lei' and 'Magari' is magical. You have inspired me to go back to learning Italian. Thank you so much!
Your Italian is perfect, don't be so modest.
People usually are a bit when one
speaks more than one language.
Kylie said if one is not a mother
speaker, one is never as fluent as
them. This is true.
There’s a lot of comment here about “not really fluent” - I would actually use the term “natively proficient”. You will never speak Italian like a native if you weren’t born and brought up there, but fluency is a reasonable objective and of course you can always get better (as you can in your native language). So I would say you are obviously fluent.
You also raise an interesting point about “cadence”. Every language has its own rhythm and its own character. Italian is syllable timed (so stressed syllables are the same length as other syllables, unlike in Germanic languages such as English) and pronounced further forward in the mouth (as is typical of Southern Europe versus Northern). English-speaking learners are never taught this, so invariably end up sounding blatantly Anglo-Saxon even if their Italian is technically quite proficient. I find this yet another aspect of language teaching which fails abjectly - much better to be self-taught like you are!

Do more of these types of videos everyday Kylie, you are good at it . It is practical, yet still artistic, and draws on all of your skills, talents. The lovely scenery in the background also helps learning. You are certainly offering language learners something very different.
Thank you! Language is so close to my heart as it's completely changed how I experience Italy so if lovely people like you enjoy them, I will certainly continue.
Kylie, your enthusiasm is contagious, your natural way so very inviting. You are one of the best teachers I ever had.(I have been learning languages for about 50 years). BRAVISSIMA E TANTE GRAZIE!!!
I fancy you directing a modern movie with european and American oldies as soundtrack.
From italian ones, maybe a Luigi Tenco's song, like the amazing "Più Mi Innamoro Di Te E Meno Tu Mi Ami".
I looooove Luigi Tenco. I once had a Roman boyfriend who introduced me to him and we would slow dance in the kitchen to him all the time. 😊
@@KylieFlavell So romantic! Although his songs have pretty sad lyrics mostly but maybe that's the reason he was ahead of his times (and probably he suffered also just from that reason). I knew only two songs by Tenco; I've recently discovered some of the other ones.
Love your videos on speaking Italian. I’m headed over in November for the second time.
I’ve been studying the language for a while now, on and off. Your videos are excellent and I thank you for taking the time to make them.
I will be studying all your Italian language content for the next month and a half leading up to my trip.
The way you explain the phrases and words is perfect for understanding Italian.
I’m from the USA.
The production values for this video are off the chart! The sound is perfect. The tight camera shots during the phrase teaching portions are so beautiful. What really blows my mind is the fact you’re able to produce this high-quality content so quickly and flawlessly. Delivering so much value for your viewers! ⚓️
Thank you with all my heart, Shawn!
I enjoyed your video. It's informative and easy to comprehend! Magari! I can speak Italian!
Je suis ton fan 😍👌🇲🇦 je vous souhaite du succès dans votre carrière et plus de brillance 👌
I have been going on holiday to Italy every year since I was 5 years old but i still don't speak italian! I understand a lot, but I never actually learnt the language. It is my all time dream to learn it, maybe next year I will have time because I have passed my french language exam. This video was very nice, I just came home from spending due settimane a Napoli, Roma, Costiera Amalfitana... and it was very lovely to experience authentic Italy just because my parents spoke Italian to the locals. It really opens up masaive boundaries it's incredible! Please make more italian videos, I would love to see and learn more!!!
Ciao monika you well come italy

Being a frequent tourist to Italy, my fellow Italian friends enjoy my mediocre italian language and believe it or not I bet this is the best way to mesh with Italians and learn the language ! ;) I’ve learned 40% from books and language institute and 60% from speaking with Italians ... !!! E magari un giorno posso parlare con italiani proprio bene :)) grazie tesoro dal mio cuore per questo video...
I still watched this despite being Italian :) brava!

Your Italian is wonderful, hope you continue to make more learning Italian videos, they’re super helpful. Or a podcast of them too, would be awesome.
I'm a beginner and this was so very helpful, thank you so much for making your videos I watch them every day, I luv seeing Italy thru your eyes and your passion...
Thanks 😊
Yes. Love the lessons. Great job of explaining the reason behind the language! I do understand the language more than I can speak it because my Sicilian Grandma spoke in half English and half Italian. Thanks, Kylie for all your beautiful and informative videos. I am so glad I found you. I am on a mission to watch every one of them.
I love your videos!!! I moved to Italy last year and did my citizenship though bloodline (grandpa). My Italian is horrible but you inspire me to learn it. you also make it so fun and so easy! Thank you so much!
Thank you, especially for megari.

Buongirno

Thanks a lot! Gracias mil! Grazie! I find your channel like 3 weeks ago and I loved it. I'm from Puerto Rico. I speak spanish, english and I'm learning Italian. I'm already planning my vacation to Italy for next year. Hopefully by then I can be more fluent. Keep up the good work!
Please more language videos! Brings the textbooks to life.
Magari! Traveling phrases are great! At the restaurant, at the coffee shop,, at the mall, at the museum, at a hotel, at the winery, at the beach and so on... I love the "local expressions" Thanks for such beautiful and great videos.
Hai un ottimo italiano! Complimenti!
Amazing idea!! Please continue doing this as series. You make me love life just a little more with your lovely approach to things
So happy you like the idea of a series. Thank you for your sweet words!
Please continue more videos
Thank you that was easier...
Ahh Madari!! I wish I could speak Italian like you!!
Hey Kylie, I’ve been following you since you’re Early days when you had the TV series with that English bacala. Love your journey and passion. Keep it coming.
Ohhhh thank you for following my journey for so long!!
Ciao Kylie. Sono a livello intermedio e vorrei godere di più video su errori comuni in italiano. Grazie mille.
Love your channel!! Plz more Italian language videos ❤️
Thank you so much for watching, Miss Shae!!! ❤💖💕
@kylieflavell è stato incredibile🤗🤗
Have really enjoyed your video, very useful phrases. Absolutely excited to hear "Magari". I expect I will use this word often. As much as I dream of living in Italy, magari. Planning an extended visit, what ever visa will allow. After my artist residency in Venice was cancelled for 2020, when we do get to resume the program, hopefully April 2022, I plan to make it an extended stay. After all we have experienced through Covid, once travel abroad is possible, it just feels right to make it a good long trip. I look forward to more Italian language lessons. Grazie from Canada.
Kylie, I am planning to return to Dolomites in summer of 2020 after being away for 10 years. I have cousins in Venice and Bologna. Commonly used phrases are most helpful. All the best, Chris
I'll be arriving in Rome on the 9th!
Love your channel!! Plz more italian language videos ❤️
THANK YOU!!!
Hi
Interesting
You are adorable :) Much love !!
Just started learning Italian so finding it a bit confusing ATM. Love the word Magari! Would love more Italian words and phrases in the future please 🤗
Si, let's talk apartments & moving to Italia!
Great tips! I agree with the phrase ‘I trust you’.
Thanks lovely Jen. Hoping more people can agree with us and spread trust, not fear. 💕
@@KylieFlavell Exactly!! I hope you do some more of these types of videos. You are sharing more than just a few simple phrases :) xox
Hi Kylie! Yet another great video !!!
Frankly spoken, I had stumbled upon your channel just 2 days ago by pure coincidence as I was looking for some travel inspirations.
Wow, was I pleasantly surprised and blown away when I watched first your series of "Hiking the Dolomites, Part 1-3". Strangely and surprisingly after watching these, I was so hooked that I have watched by now nearly all of your videos...So che sono un po 'pazzo ! ... LOL ...and of course subscribed.
Initially, I could not figure out what actually attracted me watching your videos... "ovviamente sei una donna molto bella "....however it was actually your sincere and amazing personality that struck me. I realized that your videos are so refreshingly different from the many others out there. They are special, passionate, artistic and have that very unique personal touch. It is like a collection of little artistic masterpieces !
Watching your videos about Italy and the Provence "cooking series" has brought back beautiful memories (spent quite some time living in Bella Italia and the Provence) and I would to thank you very much for that !
Please keep on producing more content and remember NEVER give up on your dreams ! You are very special and an amazing person !
BTW, with your talent, have you ever considered providing photography and/or video/film-making courses ?
Cheers, Mike
Good morning Mike, thank you for such a thoughtful and kind response to my work. It really makes such a difference and motivates me to keep going when this whole world of CZcams, which rewards quantity over quality, can often be very tiring, exasperating and soul-crushing . THANK YOU!
More Italian videos please!
thanks... :)
Please more italian lessons!😍
I speak Italian quite well now (as you said, perhaps an adult learner doesn’t become completely fluent). I just watched this video for your aesthetics more than the phrases. It’s good that you went beyond the usual “buongiorno” “buonasera” “grazie” “prego” that can be found in other videos 🤓❤️
According to Alondra thanks - yes, you know how it is: some days you feel completely fluent and other days you think, I should push myself to improve and learn grammar like passato remoto better. 🙈
“Io sono in pensione”. I love to travel to Italy and to keep my “little grey cells” active. What you do with your iItalian blog is quite excellent. I have been through Duolingo and also have used Pimsleur. Your presentations make me feel that one day I might be able to converse with the locals in Italy. Your lessons are quite entertaining and artistic. I really appreciate the lessons that deal with common phrases that a tourist would hear. Could you do a session on common idioms? Richard in the US
Continue do this type of videos!!!!!!
Glad you like it!
