- Well, we did it; we made the leap from Italy to Canada! In this video I show you how we're settling into things at our new place in Toronto, and also how I'm keeping up my Italian language skills (and also making significant strides...even away from Italy!)

Welcome to Toronto. From an italo-canadesi 🇨🇦🇮🇹💕
Ah yayayay! Grazie!!!
@Joe Barone lol. It’s freezing here in winter although Canada is a beautiful country. My parents came for a better life which they worked hard for. Huge Italian community here, so even today my mom can go shopping and not have to speak any English. But a part of me wishes I could move to Calabria.
I love it!! Toronto doesn’t realize how lucky they just got!!
What about vaccine mandate?
We feel lucky to be calling Toronto home, too!! Seems like such an awesome city; so much to explore!!!
Hi Katie, I started watching your videos because my mom was from Bari and I just loved seeing all the places she used to tell me about in present day. Now you've moved to my hometown, so of course I'll keep watching to see what you get up to here!! Welcome!
Ah, I love that you've got a Bari AND a Toronto connection!! It's like internet serendipity!! 🙌❤️😁
I'm glad you, Connor, and Kiro are getting settled in well in your new home!
Keep up the excellent work! Continua il tuo lavoro eccellente! Ciao 👋
Grazie mille, John!
sei grandissima Katie! Puglia in your soul! Kiro citizen of the world!
Puglia rimane sempre nel mio cuore! ... e anche per Kiro ;) ;)
Ciao Katie, Connor & Kiro!
So excited that you have found ways to stay connected with our beloved Italia/Puglia! “Musica Leggerissima” è una preferita anche per me! I listen, almost exclusively, to musica Italiana & Radio Italia to stay connected! Especially when I’m cooking!
Buon fine settimana da TX!
Janet/Gianna 💚🇮🇹❤️
Bravaaaa, sapevi che il canzone era Musica Leggerissima :) :) :) And YES to cooking + Italian music & radio! (Also, I didn't realize I could just go to RadioItalia.it and listen live until RIGHT NOW! Such a realization -- thank you!!
Dont loose Your italian. Its a part of u and a new culture, with Great passion.
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦!!!!!
Welcome to Toronto aka the "6"; Eataly on Bloor Street, small Italian groceries like Messina on Scarlett Road, bigger Italian groceries like Lady York Foods on Dufferin, St Phillips Bakery Nobelton and Woodbridge, lunch at Speducci Mercatto off Keele Street, high end restos like Sotto Sotto and Buca, and don't forget Instituto Di Cultura Italiano - Toronto; you're going to enjoy it. Ciao!
Ah, thank you for all of these tips! Epic!! Might have to make a future video just about exploring all the Italian spots in Toronto....
Go to Cataldi Fresh Market!!!! Welcome to Toronto!
I visited Italy with my husband in 2017. We stayed almost a month. I miss it so dang much 😭 a second trip to Italy was supposed to be my push present after having my daughter but Covid happened 😢 so I’m hoping to go in a year or two 🤞🙊
Thanks for the italki promo. I've been looking for a language trainer just like this. I'm keen to get going with them soon. Cheers!
Awesome -- I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Mi hai fatto venire la voglia
di vedere quella serie 😃. È vero, sei migliorata!!
☺️☺️☺️
I like when you talk in Italian. I like to see Canada too.
Yay!!!!! Welcome to Toronto! Kinda cool if I see you and Connor with Kiro out n about!
Definitely say hi if we cross paths!!
Hi 👋 Katie and Connor and Kiro welcome 🙏 to 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦 and Toronto . I just love 💕 how enthusiastically you are about learning
Italian, I. Would love ❤️ to relearn my Italian I could speak really well when I was younger and now I wish I had kept it up,I cant believe just how much I have forgotten, but its never to late right you have inspired me.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🐶😎.
Mary .
It's definitely never too late!!! Vai, fallo!!! :) :) Forza 💪 And thanks for the welcome! We're stoked to be here!
@@TheQKatie buoa serata Katie

Your book 📖 I have made some of your recipes and I really like them .spring is in the air the nicer weather will be here soon.
All the best cara Mia
Mary .
Hey, since you're in the Ontario Province of Canada and Spring is coming up, please show us a cool beachfront/lakefront town of your choice in any of your upcoming videos. Congrats on the move to Toronto.
Love this suggestion! I'll definitely do that. I've already got some favorite beach spots, -- and it's only March! -- so I can only imagine how awesome it'll be come summertime.
You're the best blogger in CZcams ❤️❤️
😊 sei troppo gentile!!
Spiaggia di Porto Pirrone regna!
So, in the end Toronto it was!
The choice I would’ve made (I wrote it in the comments of your “mystery video“ about moving…).
Good luck with your Italian learning, and… keep in mind the importance of songs in the learning process ;) (a bit biased here…).
Ciao!
Thank you!!! Hehe...just subscribed to your channel ... genius!
@@TheQKatie Whoa! Che onore!!! Grazie, grazie, grazie!!!
Thanks for subscribing!
Ciao!
Enjoy the new city! We visited Toronto a few years ago and really loved it. (Except for the traffic!) If you haven't already, check out the St. Lawrence Market. An amazing place with every kind of food imaginable.
Yesss! I just went to St. Lawrence Market over the weekend and had the best Montreal-style bagel from there!
Welcome to Toronto!
Ma dai, "guide astrologiche per cuori infranti" è girato e ambientato a Torino, la mia città. Spero ti piaccia ☺️
Dopo aver visto questo programma televisivo, voglio andare a Torino tantissimo!!!
Welcome to the city. Get rid of that second T!!!!
Enjoy exploring, especially our markets and get out of downtown if you can - Scarborough, Markham has insane food.
hehehe, I've got to work on my Toronto pronunciation big time!!! Thanks for those food tips; I'm stoked we have a car here and can explore a bit further out!
@@TheQKatie you’re one of us now, it’ll be easy. If you have car and can do seafood, Fishman Lobster Clubhouse in Scarborough. It’s excessing must amazing. Allan’s for best beef patty and coco bun. Obviously you’ve done Kensington before but so much is changing. Have fun!!!!
Ciao Katie. Great to see your Italian is still improving. Noticed your Rrrrrolling your Rs more like an Italian. Love it...ciao! If you ever get sick of the cold, there's lots of warm sun (actually hot) and long white beaches here in Australia.
Hi Katie, Connor and Kirodallapuglia ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Canada, eh? If you wander down the 401 to Montreal, I can point you to Little Italy where you can practice your Italian and maybe sprinkle in some French for fun.
Oooo! I CANNOT wait to go to Montreal! And honestly my French is rusty, it could use the practice! I swear that learning Italian took over the ability to speak French...but I can still read and hear it and understand! It's just when I open my mouth to respond... Italian comes out :)
@@TheQKatie Sent you an email. Always happy to show off my city to visitors.
I have a great teacher on italki.
Hey! We love your channel and live in Niagara! Would love to take you to notl 🤩✔️
Welcome to Toronto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That sounds awesome
Dolcissima e bellissima 🥰
Benvenuti al Toronto! Sono nato e cresciuto qui! Adesso abito nella periferia, ho dovuto imparare a cucinare, se volete mangiare alla mia casa fatemi sapere :) paste di mandorle e tiramisu sono I miei specialità (anche io sto imparando italiano, ho cominciato 6 mesi fa)
Check out Sud Forno and Terroni (order the duck ravioli). Enjoy TO!
Really? Terroni is an offensive word for "People from the South" in Italy, lol.
@@gabrielesolletico6542 Hopefully someone from the south of Italy opened this restaurant and is reclaiming the word!! I've heard of that happening in other places!
@@TheQKatie Well, I was just curious about that! Sounds pretty strange to me, but I can certainly understand self irony! :)
Sembra che in Canada i venti di guerra siano molto lontani......qui' in Europa e in Italia la situazione è molto MA MOLTO tesa, siamo tornati al 1945 con quel pazzo al Kremlino
bella, dai, è bello che siate stati in italia ma il Canada ha tanti pregi, non dobbiamo rubare troppo la scena solo noi italia! ;D
Did you come across on the ambassador bridge from Detroit to Windsor
Into Canada
We went through Buffalo :)
Ahah hai trovato anche i tarallini pugliesi a Toronto? Fondamentali!
Sì!!! Sono stata molto emozionata quando li ho trovati!
I want Italian content? Where is Italy?
yeah, right, but whenever you say Toronto with your accent, without thinking about it...it sounds like you moved to Taranto!
hahaha, you're right!! 😂
Numero 1.
😘
But have you learned to speak Canadian? Eh.
Bruh
I know what a toque is!! And a Chesterfield :) :)
Honesty, I watched as I am interested in seeing Italy. Am less interested in seeing Toronto. Probably will find another Italy based channel.
continui ad essere simpatica anche se ci hai lasciato ahahahaha
So now you just need to learn Canadian..
A parte il cibo, di che cosa già senti la mancanza dell'Italia?
La gente, i miei amici, la cultura di goia e di famiglia e di godere la vita!
Oh you are kidding me!!!!... I want Italian people here..in New Brunswick!!!!
Good food...good people...oh you are too far!!!... where's your grandmother?.. why did you move to Canada???.. I'm glad but bring Italy with you please..❤
What happened to you?
