Grazie Mille 🙏🏼 Excellent video for absolute beginner Americanos 😊We travel to Italy in 4 weeks. I especially appreciated your final input at the end about how not to worry too much if pronunciation not exact. This makes me feel braver to engage in at least basic Italian with the locals 😊

[@DanisLearnItalian]

That’s really appreciated. Thanks a lot. Where in Italy are you travelling to?

@@DanisLearnItalian We will base ourselves in Milan; with day side trips to Florence, Lake Como and Lake Garda. My Father was stationed in Northern Italy in WW2. so we hope to see memorials near Lake Garda paying tribute to his Army division

How wonderful it will be to trace WW2 footsteps of your father😍. The lakes in the North of Italy are beautiful! Wishing you all the best for your trip to Italy! Buon viaggio 🛫

In Ticino (and in general in Switzerland) we kiss 3 times.

Ah that’s interesting. I didn’t know that. I wonder if any country goes for 4.

Just a clarification on addressing older people: informal Italian is always used with your relatives, even older family members, like your parents, uncles and aunts, and your grandparents.

[@DanisLearnItalian]

Yes, a very good point.

As both and an English and Italian speaker I find it amusing the insistence on perfect Italian pronunciation when teaching the most basic words and yet you speak English with absolutely zero effort to pronounce it in an English way. Like so many Italians to be honest.
