MOVING TO ITALY? ITALIAN PHRASES FOR COLLOQUIAL CONVERSATION

For anyone planning to one day move to Italy and live here, this is the conversation you will need. If you're learning Italian - whether beginner or advanced - these are the colloquial phrases that will help you develop relationships and express yourself with strangers you meet. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

I get chills from head to toe whenever I see you post. Giving us a wonderful window into a world that seems as if it's out of a fairy tale book. You literally made your dreams come true. I know they have not been without struggle. And I'm so grateful, your videos are such a comfort to this crazy world going through right now. I hope everyone realizes. We need each other more now than we ever have in our own lifetime. Please do not allow them to separate us and divide us on every fractal level. We all pee yellow and we all bleed red. We are the cog Wheels to everything. We make the world go around. It's time to realize that people. And like I said we do need each other more now than we ever have in our own lifetime. Good luck and Godspeed on all of your endeavors. And I think you so much for your wonderful videos. A Little piece of heaven. No matter what you have to say. What you have to do. I'm such a fan. Much love my darling and too you're handsome prince.

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you. ✨✨✨

[@DANIELJRAINEY]

We moved here a month ago and it’s funny how we experienced some of the conversations you described. Especially, the Italians wondering how Rovigo could possibly be better than Florida!!

[@piafleig]

This couldn’t come at a better time since I’m starting my Erasmus in Siena tomorrow!! 🇮🇹

[@MerriHome]

I am absolutely in love with your timeless and classy wardrobe. So Beautiful ♥️

[@jaimejager5695]

Thank you! That was wonderful. I've always wanted to learn Italian. I hope you and Guido are doing well and your parents trip was safe and comfortable. Thoughts and blessings to all.❤ can't wait for next Friday! Thank you again for all you do!

[@barbaraszmyt7258]

Wow, what a great lesson! I will watch it again and take notes, and then I will go to my neighborhood Italian coffee shop and listen to the conversations around me for practice. What fun !!! Thanks to two wonderful tutors!🥰

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much, Barbara.

[@nowtacoma]

Lovely episode! One of the funny things about learning Italian, is that I've never met an Italian who is surprised that I am learning Italian. It is the language of the gods after all :')

[@megflat2981]

I absolutely love Italy! We were there recently and found that most Italians Speak English!! Positano is one of my favorite !! Hope to return and perhaps visit Tuscany!!! Your so kind to share your beautiful family and amazing life !! Hope your parents return to be with you soon!! Shalom from Colorado!!!

[@annbrosnan8586]

Late to the party as storm Eunice put out my electricity yesterday! All back now and lovely to have another Italian lesson. Your tips are always the best Kylie! Thank you.

[@jjauger96]

Dear Kylie, You are an excellent language teacher! Not to mention your other vlogs and DIY videos are superb, but this should be something you can also do. You explain very well. Grazie mille!

[@mihaelaclaudiap..2]

This will be so handy for all those interested in Italy and the Italian language, which I personally believe to be the most beautiful language there is! We Romanians are in a way born knowing Italian, maybe because Romanian it's also a Latin language and has many similarities with Italian. In Romania almost everyone understands Italian, when I moved to Italy when I was 18 I understood almost everything straight away! Great video, loved the cinematic parts a lot! Yesterday evening I watched at least 10 of your videos :) xx

[@beeitalian4086]

Romanian language is so close to Italian! You guys are our brothers and sisters. ❤️

[@denzelgordon293]

I’m a culinary farmer looking for land Outside of Canada. Italy is number 1 on my list. Checks off all the boxes! I will be visiting Italy in October so hopefully by then my Italian improves. Grazie for this wonderful video.

[@lightuponlight6727]

Thank you Kylie .... My dreams of moving to Italy are growing stronger everyday thanks to you. You've given me more courage and inspiration than you know.

[@KylieFlavell]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@tlacorp.3813]

Italy is like a movie it is art. It is unique.

[@signeknudsen8513]

Great photography. You capture the beauty all around you. Even though I'm not planning a trip to Italy or to learn Italian, it's interesting to learn a little about the language. When first listening to a new language all the words seem to run together and people seem to be speaking so fast so seeing the printed words is very helpful. I've studied languages too and understand how much effort you have put in to achieve the fluency you have. You could never have reached the level of comfort and interaction with Italians you have if you hadn't made that effort so I'm sure you'll be an inspiration for any foreigner living in italy. I admire you.

[@brendam5356]

Ciao bella Thankyou for the Italian lessons it does seem not as complicated as English I accept your challenge to be fluent it helped also with Quido speaking in Italia and yes it will enrich my love for Italy and also my own life here in New Zealand Grazie my love Amore😘😘❤️❤️👌👌🌺🌺

[@rosygomezsales]

I would to live in Italy. I enjoy your Italian lessons. I practice my listening skills with your videos. Thank you for always bring so much culture, information and beautiful videos productions. :)

The dress you were wearing at the beginning.... was everything!!!! 🤩

[@Oceanic-blaze]

How delightful, just this morning I was watching your lesson on the verb ‘piacere’, hoping for more Italian lessons from you, you are an amazing teacher, thankyou so much!

[@KristinaWSvik]

ciao cara❤️vivo a Revello con il mio ragazzo italiano, mio ​​padre è siciliano e mia madre è norvegese e ho sempre parlato diverse lingue, ma è un'altra cosa quando devi capire diversi dialetti anche in Italia, adoro questo video e tutto il tuo video,penso che i video con contesto linguistico siano importanti per molte persone che vivono in Italia🥰 un caloroso abbraccio da Kristina e Andrea❤️

[@italymadeeasy]

Kylieeeeeeeeeeeee! Ma sei fantastica! Ancora più di prima! Ma come è possibile? 😊 Amazing video, super useful! Time for a catch up!

[@lindab.8936]

Ciao Kylie, this is a great teaching video with the words in English popping under the Italian phrases! Guido's quick delivery sure was hard to keep up with. 😄👍 And it reminded me of how rapidly some Italians speak! 😉 Yes, your suggestion of making this the year for learning to speak Italian is certainly a good one. I've studied it before but I'd love to re-aquaint myself. Grazie mille per continuare a pubblicare i tuoi video. xx😎🎥💕

[@cathierose2009]

You have the best music for your video posts. Really enjoy it.

[@Tottie010]

Always love your language videos, you explain it so well!!

[@christinebaker6110]

Bravissima!! You teach Italian very similar to the way I tutor it. Awesome job!!!

[@PhyllRich21]

Such a helpful lesson Kylie. I'll be trying these phrases out next trip. Just love the Italian language. It's like a beautiful song. 💕

[@denisetopaz1598]

Kylie, what a wonderful teacher you are. Your way of explaining these useful phrases is so comprehensible! I studied just a little Italian in University many, many years ago and have forgotten so much, but after your lesson I am feeling more confident that I could pick it up again.

ive been learning Italian since 2018 off and on. and this was still so helpful! learning is so fun isn't it!

[@cristie2501]

I have been living in Italy two years and my Italiano is terrible. My 8 year old learnt so easily! I always find your language videos so helpful. Thank you.

Very nice addition to my other Italian language channels! Grazie mille

[@nicolescott89]

Awww it makes me miss Italy all over again ..... I knew 99 % of the video, and learnt something new 🥰 I love the breakdown, still dreaming of living in Italy and looking at ways of getting work and a visa ... The disheartening feeling of it never happening but I'm passionate so will keep going. Grazie ancora tesoro e ci sentiamo presto. XxXx 😘😘😘

[@tillysanders2593]

Kylie sincerely you are a natural born professoressa. I hope you and Guido do more of these exceptionally good informative tutorials. You compliment each other beautifully. This was inspiringly enjoyable. from a Brit who loves your channel , in chilly Toronto 💕

I am from the USA. I have been in Italy 8 separate times and my husband is from Italy, but I still found your lesson very engaging and helpful. Grazie.

[@kansunny3720]

Thank you for giving me Italian lesson. It`s very helpful. I am living in korea. As I know you are also good at Korean language. I have been Italy four times without understanding Italian. 영상 너무 잘 보았습니다 항상 건강하시고 행복하세요^^

In this time your film is the balm of my spirit🤩

[@elleg.2177]

Loved the Italian lesson. Will definitely watch it again, also the other vids you recommended. Thank you Kylie, you are so thoughtful. 💜

[@leonardosunseri6065]

Video as always very nice and interesting. A little suggestion and advice to our dear foreign friends, from me who are Italian: Attention as our language (and this is the beauty of it) despite being always strongly linked to its Greek and Latin origins is always in constant evolution. In reality we say that, as for Latin, there are two types of Italian: the classical-correct one and the one defined by the Accademia della Crusca - the highest authority in the field of study, conservation and analysis of the Italian language - as "popular Italian". Please note that, for an Italian, they are both understandable, but while the first is more "correct" in fact (and it is what is taught outside the Italian borders), the other is a little more "rustic", not much cured and with allusions that would not be very correct, but are generally accepted because they are compremsible (such as "Da quand’è" compared to the more correct "Da quant’è"). Personally, after 5 years of classical high school I am a purist of the Italian language and I always use the correct Italian, but this is only for my will, it is not mandatory! 😁 I hope I have been helpful and if you have more specific questions than I said, I am at your disposal! Meanwhile, my compliments to Kylie, as always! 😁

[@ХристинаЖукова-ь1ш]

I love Italy !!! I hope one day travel to Italy , this is my big dream ........

[@ISTEasnoneother]

Yay! Currently learning Italian, as we are thinking of buying una piccola casa in Italia… this is so helpful for conversation starters! Am not afraid to brabble and throw in a little spanish or french to make myself clear, but having this is sooooo much easier later on! Grazie per tutti!

love to see people interested in buying properties in Italy 😍

[@kristymac3236]

Thank you so much, I am hoping to go to Italy for a holiday in May which has been put back from last year so I’ll have a look at your vacation phrases. It helps so much more than trying to study online

[@marinadean5706]

Oh wow, Kylie. I'm currently learning Italian. I can understand when you slowly say these words, but once Guido fires them off, I'm totally lost even though I know what he just said🤭. You're correct when you say that Italians chew, or merge words together. It's partially why Italian has such a beautiful cadence. ❤️ I still have so much more to learn. My class is once a week per zoom. I really wished it was in person, and more often... A la prossima❤️

[@anaisls7900]

Thank you for sharing. You're good at explaining language.

[@smokeyeyegorgeous]

this is brilliant Kylie! i lived in italy for 4 months during summer and im finding every question your putting in this video exactly how my conversations in italian would go! i always used to reply un'po and wondered why they'd go back to english! now i know- ci provo! :) your the best! i hope to move there in the coming months for good :)

Thank you Kylie. I am a polish women living in Ireland for 15 years. E sempre stato il mio sogno vivere in Italia. Why? Non lo so spiegare. My dream is small house with large garden. My English is not perfect but am still learning it. Now I started learning Italian with my younger daughter. She wants to study in Padua. This year we are going to Italy for two weeks. I really like your youtube channel. This lesson was very helpful for me.. Please keep doing it. Grazie Marta

Thank you for sharing. I will try to practise. I hope to come to Italy some day.

[@cherilynn8852]

Thanks, Kylie, that was great. I've been studying Italian since 2005, but I've had no one with whom to have conversation, so retention has been difficult. I would love to have a penpal on whom to practice.

Love your videos, Kylie! Would you consider one day creating a video telling the story of traditional clothing and textile stores and artisans in Italy? I loved visiting the beautiful clothing shops in Siena and wonder where you like to shop for clothing, as both you and Guido seem to have a classic style as well. Thanks for considering!

[@aztradescrypto]

Thank you so much to explain the language. we need more pls!!!!

[@SimoAtlas]

Italy such a beautiful country

[@samuelliaw951]

This is really useful for self taught leaner, because we don’t have recourse to confirm if the way we think is correct or not. For example I’ve tended to use too many gerunds and literally translate to “future tense” however this video just help clean my concerns about that. Now I know even just past tense could cover a lot of usage of gerund and future tense. Thanks!

[@aurorephotographie]

🙏Grazie mille ...So well summarised;😁 I am brushing after studying - 4 anni fa - and not using any of it 😅, for an online meeting to advance acceptance for a 2-month stay as a helper!💥

This is really nice of you... Luckily I met my husband and lived in Sicilia where almost no one ever switches to English because they don't speak it. 😁

As an italian myself i can say.. "Vi abbraccio molto forte. Studiare l'italiano è difficile, 1000 desinenze e verbi diversi. Non mollate mai, siamo orgogliosi di voi. Un grande in bocca al lupo" i'll wait for the correct english translation in the replies ahahah

[@donnafreeman8911]

Perhaps 2 vlog sites. One to teach Italian and another for Renovating, Gardening and Cooking. Now those not interested have to wait another week. Huge fan and would love to see more gardening in spring. Does Italy have any winter interest flowers or flowering shrubs? Such as lenten rose, camilias, edgeworthia?

[@angelinastone9894]

Kylie! You would make a great teacher / tutor for those learning Italian! Seriously, the way you break things down and put them into every day situations makes it easier to digest (and gives hope to anyone trying to learn). Did you use your love of film to write out scenes/scripts that ultimately helped you learn the language?

[@voiceyourresilience209]

Mille Grazie, Kylie!

Great information. Thank you 😊

[@DreambigGabriela]

Ah, Kylie, I got so much joy out of watching your video. I told my husband several times that I'd like to begin studying Italian. Well, that never materialized, but I can consult MR. Google. Let's see how well he did. Stiamo progettando di vedere I'Italia un futuro prossimo. Giggle. Did I pick the right words for; We're planning to visit Italy as soon as possible? Some years ago I was visiting my native country of Romania. I hadn't met my husband by then, and I was alone. As I landed in Bucharest I got in line to go through customs. Long line and how I wished it would move faster. That is until three Italian men started conversing right in front of me. Ah, providence. Now I wished the line to move slower. It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind, no? Romanian language sounds very much like Italian, yet I was enchanted by the fluidity, and at the same time the cadence of the language. Bellissimo. Thank you, Kylie for awakening my memories with your beautiful lesson. I will check out your other videos on the subject. ❤️.

[@hannahlashbrook5419]

I JUST started learning Italian using Duolingo, which I know is a very imperfect way to learn a language, but I just wanted to start somewhere. This video of yours is so helpful - I’m going back through all your other episodes as well that include Italian, so thank you Kylie!

There are TONS of Italian language apps on KZbin: Vaporetto Italiano (he is wonderful!), Easy Italian, Learn Italian with Lucrezia, Podcast Italiano, to name a few. All different and all great. Also, find partners all over Italy and the world, to speak with, via Conversation Exchange. Since I started speaking Italian 5-6 x per week, my fluency has skyrocketed! I have been learning Italian for two years, and plan to spend winters in Sicily soon!!!

[@gfair2]

As someone with no Italian heritage who is learning the language to move there, in the very beginner stages, what I'm looking for are educational conversations: conversations that are designed for clarity, so maybe this video wasn't made with beginners in mind, and more advanced speakers. But my focus isn't so much on listening for specific words, as it is listening to each word. Learning-speakers are listening for context, so quand'e ----- Italia? is what we are hearing, and then making a guess on the likely nature of the question. One thing that we really underestimate is how much we rely on context: we're meeting someone brand new for the first time, they will be asking basic questions. We're not fluent so we're picking out keywords. We are well trained on hearing "Italia" of course, and maybe "Da quand'e", but I don't believe people looking for contextual cues will be hoping for a specific word, so much as hoping that each word they hear is known / understandable. In that sense, the clearer each Italian phrase is, the easier it is for us to take the half-step of understanding Italian at a slower speed, and then eventually increase comprehension speed through repetition.

[@joecutro7318]
