Wow, thank you! Vert helpful, I'm visiting Italy for the first time in September and so excited. Please add more of these type videos. You make it fun learning Italian!!!
Boy, they don't spare the intense labor-time over in Italy! Land of Tartarian builders, master glass artists, food creators. You transported me over there for a moment. Txs!!! ❤️🇮🇹❤️🌏
I'm so glad! :) If you'd like to learn more I have a travel Italian course which will help you be conversational in 2 weeks. You can find all the details here bit.ly/The-Intrepid-Guide-Courses
Very useful video, thank you. When we visited Italy in March I'd been taking daily lessons for two months, but still struggled when I needed to say that we had booked a table. We ended up being seated away from the other diners and to make things worse I received an email from the booking app to say that we had failed to honour our booking. When we return next month I'll be better prepared.
This was very helpful! Visiting Italy for the first time in October - spending quite a bit of time in very rural areas where my ancestors come from. Took the language in college but that was over 10 years ago so this video was a huge help! I am nervous to speak Italian to locals but then I remember that I have had previous interactions with Italians when family have visited in USA and they are always extremely helpful and patient when you speak Italian with them. They really appreciate the effort!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I post weekly Italian lessons on my other channel @intrepiditalian if you'd like to subscribe czcams.com/users/intrepiditalianwithmichele
Just been to Italy and managed to to order food and drink so was very happy. I did come unstuck when I tried to order a "Primi" and ask if it would be possible to share it with my wife..got there in the end but it was a struggle! Thanks again
Were you able to share then? I'm going to Italy soon and I already know I won't be able to eat pasta and pizza and meat after that. I'd like to try many things though so since I'm going with a friend I'd like to be able to share
hello!can i ask something about the confirmation of the reservation in a restaurant?? when the stuff call me in order to confirm my reservation, how can i answer? saying '' hello'' ? another way/word?
My pleasure! How exciting 😀 If you’re nervous, why not join my Italian for travel course? There is a whole module on ordering food 😉 Plus you get lifetime access to the video lessons, materials, and the Facebook group for support. Here is a link to join bit.ly/IntrepidItalianCourse
As an Italian I can say that a "Primo" and a "Secondo" can be ordered together. The waiter then brings "the Primo". Once the first dish is finished, he brings "the Secondo". For example, when someone enters a restaurant and sits at a table, he can say, after having a look at the menu…….Per Primo (first course)prendo Spaghetti alla Carbonara e per Secondo (second course) prendo una bistecca (a steak).

Trying to learn as a tourist . I’m Scared I might offend them since i say some word like Spanish, since I speak Spanish it sounds familiar. Thank you this helps !!
As Italian I can say for those who speak Spanish it often happens that in Italy people use Spanish words thinking that they are also “Italian” words. For example many say “Gracias” instead of “Grazie”. :)

bird553, I’ve seen people have full conversations, one speaking Italian and the other speaking Spanish, and no one was bothered by it. As long as you’re polite it will be fine. It’s like a reunion of estranged cousins when two Romance languages navigate a conversation :)
A good summary. Can I not order a first course, say pasta, skip the second course and then order dessert? I'm still trying to understand the protocol. I will persevere...
I drink it all the time (even in the evening) People here think i'm weird (traditionally is only for breakfast) but who cares! Cappuccino is always awesome!! 😄
@@HeWoNe Allora: alla Sua salute! (This is a matter of traditions clash, I think: for us the concept "Drink a cappuccino after 12 am" do not exists. Sorry for my english)
Ma perché vi siete messi in mente tutti la regola del cappuccino solo alla mattina? Non è vera! Ordinatelo pure anche al pomeriggio, è normalissimo berlo all'ora di merenda se non si vuole il tè o il caffè, l'importante è non berlo dopo e soprattutto durante i pasti!
Haha, just got back after traveling across Italy for 3 weeks, here is where I went using the AMAZING Italian public transportation system”…all over Rome, Ostia Antica, Orvieto, Florence, San Gimingiano (Tuscany), Assisi, Florence, Bologna, Ravenna, Rimini, Modena, Padua, Mantua, Milan and Turin. Here are my observations. Most young Italians are pretty fluent in English (in fact, I think they are a little insulted if you assume they don’t). Most Older Italians no at least some English. If you know a few Italian words and use hand signals it can help. The easy part is saying a few Italian words. The HARD PART is understanding Italian when it’s fired at you like a major league fast ball. It takes watching many many many videos (and lots of study and practicing) to do that. As soon as you start using your “Italian” with your horrible American accent they usually switch to English 😂😂😂
Didn’t know that prego had more meanings than you’re welcome. Italians don’t say per favore. Mi piace/non mi piace can come off too strong or rude to Italians. Italians do not say scusi/scusa when getting someone’s attention. Mi scusi means sorry/excuse me when bumping into someone informal and scusami and scusatemi are formal, mi displace means I’m sorry when being late or if the person at the till doesn’t have want you were wanting, there’s several ways to say thank you and I like/I don’t like without coming off strong or rude.
I have tried to learn Italian,and also German,Spanish and French.I am useless at each Language(2 out of 10).I am trying to learn Italian again now.(2 out of 10 again).If I went into a Coffee Shop in Italy,I would sit down at a table,I would then look at the menu.I would choose a coffee from the menu,and then catch the eye of the waiter.I would point to him on the menu,in what coffee I would want.The waiter would bring the coffee.I would then settle the bill for the coffee. It is easy as that.
It was actually quite frustrating that cafes do not expect one to not have coffee and croissant. They roll their eyes and pretty much ignore your order! In the end, I found some cafes that will offer Americano- scrambled eggs and ham and an orange juice.
Hands down, this is the best channel for my upcoming trip to Italy.
I've been watching Italian videos all day and this is the most well-structured, well-planned and well paced I've seen. Thank you. Subscribed.

Affogato is the correct spelling.

Hi! Is DEcafe popular in cafès ? Or is it only served in 5 star hotels ?!
Yes. It’s served in most places 😊
I don't drink tea but my wife does. Is it acceptable just to ask for un tè con latte if she wants tea with milk?
Thank you beautiful nice smile😍🌷🌳
Could you slow down with the conjugations
Until now I thought that the only thing I had to say , in any case , was "vincenzo roccara squarcialupi brancaleone".
Grazie mille per l'informazione
hello!can i ask something about the confirmation of the reservation in a restaurant?? when the stuff call me in order to confirm my reservation, how can i answer? saying '' hello'' ? another way/word?
Do you mean call you on the phone? You answer the phone by asking “pronto?”
@@theintrepidguide yes exactly! But in english! how i could answer polite!
When you are at a restuarant do you order all of your courses at one time or do you order them as you go?
Usually all at the same time
@@theintrepidguide thank you so much! I have a trip to Florence in 1 week and I am so nervous about ordering at restaurants!

better with caption

did u find out yet
Of course you can.
Sure, you can.
Hi, What did say?
💞
if you order a dolce they will give you a piece of cake or something similar. if you want fresh fruit you have to order la frutta.
congratulations is very good the Lesson but i rather if you speak more italian than inglish please best regards
This is so cute…an Australian Italian teaching Italian.
E l'apericena?
music transitions are extremely loud in beginning it makes my parents wake up in morning practice
I drink my cappuccinos in the afternoon, what am I supposed to do?
I drink it all the time (even in the evening)
People here think i'm weird (traditionally is only for breakfast)
but who cares! Cappuccino is always awesome!! 😄
I'm American and that's what I usually do when I'm at a restaurant and I want something sweet afterwards
If you drink a cappuccino after 12 am you can be caught by police. It'a a joke! We are honored to have with us in Italy (sorry for my english!)

So when in doubt, say Prego.

Italians usually order a ''cappuccino'' with a ''cornetto''. But then again, anything is possible.
If you come to Milano, or to Northern Italy , we don't say "cornetto", we say "brioche ".
R you Australian?
Yes. With Italian heritage 😊
@@theintrepidguide Yes but love that Aussie accent!! Keep up the great work.
That one piece of rogue hair. I want to move it so badly.
5 type of cornetto maybe in the north part of Italy. Here in South we have many more variation 😉
I have tried to learn Italian,and also German,Spanish and French.I am useless
at each Language(2 out of 10).I am trying to learn Italian again now.(2 out of

It is easy as that.
Penso che "Belpaese" sia una definizione ironica, e lo dico da italiano...
Well, the capuccino it's a coffee with milk and a little bit of chocolate! And the caffee shackerato, it's a shaked iced coffee, not just an iced one!
Iˋm allergic to male 😂
idk why im watching this video im italian
It was actually quite frustrating that cafes do not expect one to not have coffee and croissant. They roll their eyes and pretty much ignore your order! In the end, I found some cafes that will offer Americano- scrambled eggs and ham and an orange juice.
Visiting Italy asking for foreign food is sign of ignorance.
Ti sei dimenticata del cappuccino…😂
General rule; if you have to ask, "Is it ok for me to wear/do ----?" Then don't do it.
99% percent of real italians will only order un caffè al bar..the rest is for tourists. 😉
Do NOT ask for Vegemite on your pizza!
Lost me at conjugating. I’ll point instead
I’m dying for your smile you’re very cute omg 🥰🥰💕💕💕💕
