EASY PHRASES FOR VACATION IN ITALY: How to Be Polite & Show Good Manners in Italian

LOVED this and completely agree. Even if your Italian is not perfect, making an effort to speak Italian and showing respect and good manners goes a long way in Italy.

Do you enjoy making Learn Italian videos? They’re probably one of my favorite types of videos you create (if I had to pick a favorite) it’s like chatting with a friend, and it’s such an organic way to practice, I truly appreciate it and I’m sure everyone else does. I hope it is as enjoyable for you as it is to watch it!

A smile speaks in all languages! Thank you for your beautiful videos!

Permesso a lovely word that I never forgot - and reused instantly last week when having a wonderful time in Trieste.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

Kylie, I was sitting thinking 'I am so looking forward to Kylie's next video' and five minutes later this one arrived! Thank you so much for the tips; they are always so useful and you are so good at explaining stuff. I shall rewatch multiple times and write it all down in my Italian notebook, which has a 'Kylie' section!

20 seconds in and I’m just in love! The camera angles, the quality shots, the location!! 😍

It was 1am, I couldnt sleep, the night before flying out to Rome and a week's tour of Abruzzo, when I came across this video. I understand and read Italian but speaking it is harder as it's not my strongest language (Spanish, Portuguese), tho Italy is my favourite place in the world. What a good video, how very helpful! And you are delightfu, and very lovelyl. I could be your mum, and unlikely now to move to Italy,, but I'm subscribing to your channel to learn more about the country I love, from you. Thank you for sharing your life here.

Grazie!! The plane to Italy leaves tomorrow morning! Knowing how to be polite is such a valuable skill.

Mille grazie! Helpful lesson. And the setting, flowers, trellis on the building, birds singing, so beautiful and pulls me back to Italy.❤

thank you I will bookmark this- I have been trying to learn some italian for months- deceptively challenging- this is very useful. great context. grazie mille.

❤This is a wonderful series! Thank you for your generosity in teaching us these helpful phrases. I know that your days are so busy now. But, I would love to see short scenes where you are demonstrating these phrases in real life (at the market, with a neighbor or friend, with your husband, etc.). Thank you for putting so much time and effort into making every video cinematic and beautiful! Brava!

Thankyou Kylie, for helping me refine my habits! I was at a wedding in Padova recently and chatted away the whole time in Italian- I surprised myself with how much I’ve learnt and it’s happened from consistently learning a little bit at a time. Can’t wait to incorporate this lesson ❤

Kylie: Thank you for the very helpful tips on politeness while travelling in Italy. Much appreciated. Sincerely, Canadian Colleen

Given these values, if I've learned one thing from your video, it is that I must experience Italy!

This is the Most useful "Italian for travelers" video I've ever seen. Thank you so much for using real world examples and simple phrases to help us tourists be the best, most polite we can while traveling to Italy!

I just got back from Italy a few days ago and really wish I knew more Italian! It's such a beautiful country that I hope to return later this year with some language skills. I was fortunate to have some Italian friends who did the major talking for me but next time I want to be prepared. Thank you for this video!!

Hello beautiful, talented Kylie! We are headed off to a wedding in Ravello in September, and after the wedding off to the island of Ischia. My first language was Italian.. then I went to school and lost my Italian and learned my English here in California. My beautiful Mamma Angela is now deceased, and I have no one to practice my Italian with. However, it has remained within me…as broken as it is. I come to Italy so very often, and I travel through all parts of my beloved Italy! Even though my Italian is broken, people are kind to me. I’ve never had any issues, and I so appreciate all these beautiful phrases and words. As I’m learning your words, I’m thinking 🤔, well , if you hadn’t been taught these proper words by Kylie, how would you have said these phrases in your way and ultimately whether I remember your beautiful Proper Italian, or my broken Italian, I think I manage quite well, and I am so proud of myself for being able to still communicate as I’m 61 years old. Last year when I was in Positano, I was able to meet Nikki from YouTube with the Positano Diaries. I’m sure you’re well aware of her. Maybe it would be a dream to meet you! I know how private you are, however, and unless I bump into you, I highly doubt it, but I admire you and I give you so many kudos and praises for all the hard work that you do to entertain us here on YouTube and having us be with you and your family! Ciao for now and I look forward to next Sunday’s video or Monday or whenever😊

Another exceptional Italian lesson. Just the other day, I was waiting for a salesman to be free at a store and an older gentleman was standing nearby. I didn't in know how to ask if he was in line, so I asked, "Aspetta." He hesitated, so I knew it wasn't quite right, but with my hand gestures he got it and nodded affirmatively. Now, I can ask "È in fila?" Living in Italy for a year now, I hear so many coloquial phrases that are favored. Thanks for all these new ones.

One of my favs! Grazie! x
