In my humble opinion the Italian Board of Tourism should be paying you for your beautiful promotion of Italy and Italian culture. Your videos are on par with Italy’s finest works of art. You are a class act Ms. Flavell.💐.....and yes, manners matter.
perfettamente d'accordo. Questa ragazza è bravissima e offre sempre alta qualità. E' dall'inizio che seguo i suoi video e sempre sono rimasto impressionato dalle sue capacità.
I don't even know why I'm watching, I'm Italian and I know how to order my coffe xD Kylie you just have the most soothing voice I'd listen to you recite the grocery list!
Agreed....I’m going in May 2021 if all this COV bs is over...our Italian fam was suppose to go Apr 2020....didn’t happen:(. I pray all is well by next May...I need to get busy learning some Italian.
Planning my fifth trip to beautiful Italy next May. I've been refreshing my terrible Italian and stumbled across some of your videos. If your goal was to educate...done. if your goal was to entertain...goal achieved. If you're goal was to have me fall in love with you...TRIFECTA!!! You come across as intelligent, engaging, and just adorable. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Bravissima!!!
Kylie, I have been self studying italian for many months now and keep going back to this video. It is so helpful, and I especially love the 'dialogue' section where the viewer gets to respond. If you ever have time, please consider making more videos like this -- learning about not only how to say things but the culture behind them is so amazing!!
You definitely teach the language how it should be taught, unlike many textbooks. Whoever is trying to learn some Italian will do well watching you, as it is exactly what they need to know when in Italy.
Kylie, You are definitely right about kindness and manners. I am living in foreign country Montenegro since 2018. I do not speak their language but have met many Montenegrins who speak English and apprciate when I say. Hvala, thank you, Dobro Jutro, good morning, Dobra Dan good day, Dobra Vece, good evening. The people here are very nice and helpful. I feel very comfortable.
Hi Kylie, this is a great video! Thank you. I must say, having spent a lot of money studying Italian F/T at language school, I learned more in your 30 minute video, than in many days spent in the classroom. What a simple, elegant and highly practical way to introduce and explain the congiuntivo and condizionale. Grazie tante, sei il migliore
The intro to this video could easily be a trailer to some big action movie. This is one of the most informative videos for basic ordering and protocol in italy, I've looked for this type of content and there is not much out there, so thank you!
Quando riesci a capire i mille modi per ordinare un caffe e fare colazione in Italia sei già a buon punto per capire lo stile Italiano.....poi tu sei fantastica
Cara Kylie. Over the years, I've had this dream of becoming a language teacher, but my confidence ( or lack of) always gets in the way. This video was a stark reminder of how much fun it is to both learn and teach a language. Words turn into sentences, communication turns into conversation and it's liberating. It is truly joyous to be able to speak a second language and, over time, have that language become part of your soul. This lovely video came at precisely the right time. Thank you for reminding me of that dream.
When I was in Florence I stopped on my way to class at one of the bars you filmed in, and a bird wandered in and just hung out on the floor in front of the bar for a while. Little things like that that wouldn’t happen in America are so chill in other places.
In the US in the South, crows, pigeons(in cities only), morning doves, and squirrels can be seen frequently everywhere. Today, here in Florida at the coffee shop, a lizard was staring at me and the bees sat on the flowers.
I am living for the shots of this bar! I love your eye behind the camera, and how you always seem to know just the right angle and shot to invoke a particular mood. This bar is absolutely beautiful, and this video is such a nice break from the drudgery of lockdown and quarantine. Thank you for making such beautiful videos!
Erica, I am Brazilian and worked in Australia for few months and I realized the same, good coffee in every corner! I was feeling in Italy drinking a real and good coffee! Congrats to Australia!
Dearest Kylie, it is true manners, respect and politeness are incredibly important both when traveling and within our own communities. It is one of the aspects in why I long to return to Italia to live. Thank you for a wonderful video! Forse un giorno, presto, sarò abbastanza sicuro di poter scrivere un comments come questo in italiano. Grazie Lei!
Grazie, Kylie! Your videos are beyond compare! As a retired teacher, (dreaming of moving to Italy about one year from now), I appreciate your patience, and the obvious time and effort you have put into this and all of your videos! I'm a native English speaker, rather fluent in Spanish which I studied in the 80s and 90s. So Spanish is helping me a lot! Viva Italia!
This is amazing. I will never forget when I was in high school 10 years ago and went to Italy. I was in Florence and going into a coffee shop was crazy! There was a rush of people and somehow you order, pay, and then get the drink. It was very different. They saw some of my friends as Americans and almost right away ignored them so it got to the point where I had to order in Spanish and they took that way better than speaking English. Soon I hope to go back!
beautiful and smart, Modest, you turn ordinary things into special things, your positive energy comes from my phone to my heart. you keep going. hope to see you if ever i am in italy. love you
The coffee, the language, the atmosphere a Firenze -- tutto bello. But I also really love your style, mainly because it is so literary and romantic and reminds me of Meryl Streep in Out of Africa, or Vita Sackville-West, or Audrey Hepburn. Tu porti un po 'di bellezza al mio giorno. Grazie.
On point and I'm up to date with ordering coffee now. Brilliant video you have shown us. Kylie your the gold standard young lady. Absolutely nothing can compare to your talent and inspiration to so many people. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel. Well done young lady. Thanks
Absolutely loved this video! The intro is soo beautiful, it made me want to hop on a plane to Italy at once! Also love that you take on the different questions one might get asked at the counter when ordering and also how to respond. Exactly what one would need to order a coffee in Italy
This is funny. This is my first week in Italy and went into the first bakery shop that spoke no English. I proceeded to order by pointing and saying “una” for just one piece. We both kept smiling because we knew we didn’t understand each other but still completed the order. And now I’m in my hotel snd I come across your video after that situation. Thank you I can’t wait to order a coffee tmrw!!
Thank you Kylie! I was in Milan last year and wanted to order a coffee...just by looking at all the options, I was so intimidated, that I just went without it. I learned much today! Grazie!🥰
I love this kind of videos. I love Italy and I've been trying to learn the language by myself for years now. It was amazing when I was saying the last phrase at the same time than you. I was thinking how beautiful it is that I, a mexican spanish speaker currently living in Mexico, and you, a australian english speaker currently living in Italy were saying the same phrase in italian. I mean thirty years ago who would ever thought about this being possible? Thank god for the internet and thank you for making these amazing (and very useful) videos.
Love your content! hopefully I'll go to Italy to study as an exchange student next fall and I just wanted to say that your videos really help, fills me with hope :)
Kylie really enjoyed your video which I stumbled on by accident, I worked all over Italy for a number of years. Totally fell in love with Italy and it’s people from the first visit, and believe me I have seen the good and bad of both as a resident. I made a conscious effort to learn to understand the language as best as I could at the time, and your comments around trying to understand even one word in a sentence to build on in the next encounter are so true, It’s amazing what you can do with such limited vocabulary, a good intent and as you point out good manners and politeness. The general level of civility in everyday transactions is just wonderful and I have witnessed the evident disappointment when tourists don’t understand the “norms” of behaviour expected. I often now watch Recipe videos in Italian and can only sometimes think of Italian words for items, Might start to watch your videos and get back into learning everyday Italian again such a pretty language.
I absolutely loooved this video. What should have taken 38 minutes took me an hour and a half because I took the time to practice over and over again. Thank you for your time, creativity and sharing your love of Italy with those of us who love it as well just can’t get there, yet!
OMG Kylie this reminds me so much of my childhood holidays in Rome going to a bar every morning they didn't even ask if I wanted a glass of water while my Mamma had coffee. I miss Rome so much.
You must have befriended the owners of Gilli and convinced them to let you in to film while they were closed! It's usually cram packed! I'm sighing thinking of the candied chestnuts and the sugared rose petals I used to love getting from there! More videos like this, please! Wonderful!
Kylie, Sending you all love, and thank you for the latest video. I am taking time to learn abit. being a visual person, the combination of your presence, the writing and images really makes it natural for me to learn otherwise I am just unable to absorb. I love your naural reactions to being healthy ..Thats the best part when you teach is the personal connections made by getting to know someone .❤❤😊
Grazie Kylie! I loved this language lesson. I have been working on my pronunciation of double consonants and you explained it so beautifully that it makes perfect sense now. Every weekend is now a quick little getaway to my beloved Italy. The shots of Florence and beautiful Arno River were stunning. Grazie!
Oh yes ! You have to be very careful when pronouncing words with double consonants. If it is pronounced with only one consonant, a whole other word often comes out ! And this could be very embarrassing at times ! I am an Italian teacher and I teach Italian here in Germany to the Germans and I always say to be very careful about these things. Ciao e tanti auguri ! 😉
I swear this is the most helpful Italian learning video ever! I screenshoted every phrase! So many videos on youtube teach you how to order coffee the ”tourist way” 🤣 thank you so much!♥️🙏🏻
Agree, I can’t be bothered to learn Italian in traditional ways, and normally just pick it up, (I live in Italy) however this is most palatable. Thank you Kylie x
I have just discovered your site and watched one of your first posts when you first arrived in Italy. You have certainly come a long way and are such an example of how dreams can come true if you are patient and persistent. Well done!
Searching for a long time...so far, this is the best Italian lesson I ever found👍👍👍Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! Can’t wait to learn more from your videos😃😃😃
I just love watching your videos. They are so relaxing and entertaining. I also love watching your cooking videos. You're amazing how you can cook, paint, take care of a baby, a husband and renovate all at the same time. Looking forward to your next video. BTW love this video content for lessons in italian!!!
This is excellent advice and quite inspirational ! I came across Kylie's channel a couple of weeks ago as I am currently learning Italian and I have found the videos more than helpful - what a pity I did not discover the channel earlier. An really high quality standard of presentation and audio which makes such a hugely refreshing change to some of the other material which is often posted. Thank you Kylie and keep up the fantastic work!!!
Yes, manners are so important, especially now during these crazy times. So important to be respectful and kind. Sometimes it feels that the world has forgotten this but we still believe that people are inherently good. Thanks for reminding us Kylie and for the Italian lesson. Very helpful.
Thanks for your response Kylie. I'm going to everything in my power to try and get an exemption as I would love to be in Italy at least by March 2021. I really hope that Italy can get those numbers of the virus down though and since they did it last time I'm hoping that get it back in control again. Look forward to watching your You tube videos. Stay safe.
I loveee what you do Kylie!! It's as if everytime I watch your videos, I watch a cinematographic masterpiece. I always feel as if i'm in the same room when I watch. Thanks Kylie!
I just wanted to drop in and say….I put your Italian learning videos on repeat two months before my first trip to Italy to see family I hadn’t met yet with my mother. 😅 This along with the other studies helped SO MUCH. These videos truly prepare you for everyday instead of the junk the apps and other lessons teach you. I had to speak for both my mother and I the whole trip. I had NO trouble asking for directions, taking the train, taxi, ordering and general conversation. In fact I was complimented the whole trip on my Italian. THANK YOU!!
I really liked your video. You are so right about manners. My wife and I are in our sixties. It is so important to show respect for other cultures when you are visiting another country, and making a strong attempt at the language and complying with local customs is the best way to show that respect. We will be in Calabria in August. Non vedo l'ora provare parlare Italiano.
not planning on visiting Italy any time soon but i love these lessons non the less. and i totally agree with you as to manners, especially when you are in a foreign country. it shows people you respect their culture and are not just another careless tourist. i live in another latin country and i feel that learning all those polite phrases and litlle words have helped me to integrate here.
Kylie, I'm so glad I've discovered your videos. It's wonderful to see Florence today, I've whiled away many a happy hour in Gilli. I'm an art historian (18C Venetian art) and work in the cultural sector in Qatar ... I've been deprived of my visits to Italy and the South of France this year because of the pandemic so your videos are making such a difference right now. You can't imagine how lovely it is to watch your beautifully curated films. Warmest wishes to you!
Kylie, I have enrolled in an online class to learn to speak Italian, thank you for influencing us in indulging in such a beautiful language and culture. My son Lorenzo took us (family) to Florence in January, we actually stopped in at that Cafe! He speaks Italian so it was very helpful, now I want to be able to speak Italian and use it on our next visit! He also loves Italy as he has fortunately been able to visit while doing Modeling shoots. Thank you for your commitment to such great works that we may enjoy and learn from!
Thank you Kylie, I can't wait to show off my new Italian with my dear friend when I visit him ! I would also love a video about phrases that will help me to be more respectful, I would love to turn those moments of miscommunication into something more sweet ☺️✨
Grazie Mille, love the lesson. I am just beginning studying Italian this year during the virus, so when I found this video, I took out my notebook immediately and was over the top pleased. You are a great teacher, among all your other attributes. I will watch this video over and over again until I get it 100% ! Grazie gentillisima!
Thank god good italian lessons... at long last someone sees there is a need.. thank you it’s very well presented and exactly what all of us need to keep our holiday italian going.. keep it up. You will end up no 1 .
I'm definitely going to give that book a try. Words and manners matter more than we think! And now for some reason I'm craving for something sweet and a coffee 😄
Amazing video and cinematic, great explanation of the Italian Coffee rules, and the way to ask all "item" of a good breakfast. In add to this I also appreciate your smoothy voice in all of your videos ... great!! Nice work
Brava, Kylie! Not only for an excellent, well-structured and engaging lesson, but also for highlighting the importance of manners. Yes, they are a super power! Grazie!
Loved it Kylie, and excellent choice for doing a language lesson centered on a theme, particularly how common the coffee/cafe culture is global and particularly how beautiful and important in Italian culture. I remember being on holiday a few years ago in a small village outside Rome, and while not as glamorous as the Bar you were in Florence, the morning ritual of caffe and cornetti was enjoyable experience. I didn't speak any Italian at the time and the barista didn't speak any English, but she was very patient with us and knew our order after a few days. It still remains one of my fondest memories of that holiday. I saved your video to watch again and again to practice!
Your video promotions are elegant and show Italy at its best. They are simply awesome! I’ve been to Italy but would have done/seen more if I had known of your utubes sooner. Love your promotions. Tourism should hire you.
This woman feels lucky to live here, but actually Italy's the lucky one.
Brava!
In my humble opinion the Italian Board of Tourism should be paying you for your beautiful promotion of Italy and Italian culture. Your videos are on par with Italy’s finest works of art. You are a class act Ms. Flavell.💐.....and yes, manners matter.
i concur...totally
I also totally agree to this. !! I never watched these kinds of good quality videos for free. Thanks again for all the hard work behind it
perfettamente d'accordo. Questa ragazza è bravissima e offre sempre alta qualità. E' dall'inizio che seguo i suoi video e sempre sono rimasto impressionato dalle sue capacità.
@@claudiofoiadelli8721 d'accordo...come i grandi film, questi episodi saranno belli da vedere per molto tempo
@@fanstream e non è importante se pronucia bene cappucino o altro, è l'intensità che trasmette e crea emozione
I don't even know why I'm watching, I'm Italian and I know how to order my coffe xD
Kylie you just have the most soothing voice I'd listen to you recite the grocery list!
LOL...these videos are magical...that's why!
Oh my god ! so true and so funny!! It is your beautiful accent Kylie! and your tone !
I was going to ask if she moonlights as a language teacher when shes not making videos.
Agreed....I’m going in May 2021 if all this COV bs is over...our Italian fam was suppose to go Apr 2020....didn’t happen:(. I pray all is well by next May...I need to get busy learning some Italian.
anche io! :D
I'm Italian and this video makes me feel good. Your Italian is very good. This is how foreigners should order coffee here in Italy.
No, ha ancora qualche problema con le doppie, ma solo di alcune consonanti... strano!
Sì ordina il caffè come nella maggioranza del resto del mondo.
Volendo, per un caffè, puoi dire qualsiasi cosa ma indicando al barista con un gesto di mano la grandezza della tazza ahahah
The photography in this video is absolutely sublime!
Kylie have you considered doing just an Italian language tutorial series? I think it would be a resounding success. Your work is wonderful.
Planning my fifth trip to beautiful Italy next May. I've been refreshing my terrible Italian and stumbled across some of your videos. If your goal was to educate...done. if your goal was to entertain...goal achieved. If you're goal was to have me fall in love with you...TRIFECTA!!!

If you ever have time, please consider making more videos like this -- learning about not only how to say things but the culture behind them is so amazing!!
I just love your filming its so professional and dreamy
You should honestly make your own skillshare course on the culture/ language of travelling to Italy! I think it'd do really well!
I agree, also she's sweet and dress really nice. I would enroll to her course if I plan to go to Italy.
Yes, I would pay for it @kylieflavell
I agree. She's very nice and down-to-earth about etiquette, too.
You definitely teach the language how it should be taught, unlike many textbooks. Whoever is trying to learn some Italian will do well watching you, as it is exactly what they need to know when in Italy.
Thank you 😊💓 for a very helpful video. Your work is greatly appreciated. ❤ Stay safe and be well.
Kylie, You are definitely right about kindness and manners. I am living in foreign country Montenegro since 2018. I do not speak their language but have met many Montenegrins who speak English and apprciate when I say. Hvala, thank you, Dobro Jutro, good morning, Dobra Dan good day, Dobra Vece, good evening. The people here are very nice and helpful. I feel very comfortable.

Today, here in Florida at the coffee shop, a lizard was staring at me and the bees sat on the flowers.
As a frequent visitor to Italy, apart from this year, and yet being confident in ordering coffee, I still found this video lesson absorbing. Artful.
I have also found that manners are very important! I agree they are especially important now.
Beautiful. I normally fast forward past a long intro in a RUclips video. Here, I've gone back to view it again. Man, I want to return to Italy!
You need your own travel show. Props to you for not waiting and for just going for it and doing it on your own.
I miss Italy 😔 stuck back in my hometown in Los Angeles . Thank You for this.
I am living for the shots of this bar! I love your eye behind the camera, and how you always seem to know just the right angle and shot to invoke a particular mood. This bar is absolutely beautiful, and this video is such a nice break from the drudgery of lockdown and quarantine. Thank you for making such beautiful videos!
Thank you so much Stephanie! 😘
Awesome. I really did learned a little here. Amazing!!!
Luckily Italians brought their coffee culture to Australia. Aussies love their Italian style coffee. I love your video. You are a good teacher.
Erica, I am Brazilian and worked in Australia for few months and I realized the same, good coffee in every corner! I was feeling in Italy drinking a real and good coffee! Congrats to Australia!
Nice times when there was free immigration. Now we can't go legally.
Dearest Kylie, it is true manners, respect and politeness are incredibly important both when traveling and within our own communities.

beautiful video... we are lucky to be Italians 🇮🇹🇮🇹
I loved this so much!!!!!
I love this phrase when I’m having trouble communicating. Mi dispiace che il mio italiano non sia ancora molto buono, ma imparo di più ogni giorno!

This kind of video is so complementary with my italian lessons, I love it so much! Thanks a lot Kylie! Yes of course manners count 😘
thanks for your smile and for appreciating our country
One thousand percent on manners no one how to be polite these days Thank you

I’ve been living here for 10 months now. Learning everyday. It’s not so easy but getting there, piano piano. Grazie per questo video.
I never realised how slow we speak in Australia. I loved this video Kylie, Grazie!
Great lesson in italiano 🌹🌹🌹
You make me see my country so fashionable! Great job!

Thank you Kylie and keep up the fantastic work!!!
Yes, manners are so important, especially now during these crazy times. So important to be respectful and kind. Sometimes it feels that the world has forgotten this but we still believe that people are inherently good. Thanks for reminding us Kylie and for the Italian lesson. Very helpful.
Your photography skills blow me away. The composition is fantastic.
This video gets me excited to visit Italy again. I hope to live there for a few years during my retirement.
Thanks a million, Kyle ! You have the teacher in you ! Very useful and so nice to listen to !
Thanks for your response Kylie. I'm going to everything in my power to try and get an exemption as I would love to be in Italy at least by March 2021. I really hope that Italy can get those numbers of the virus down though and since they did it last time I'm hoping that get it back in control again. Look forward to watching your You tube videos. Stay safe.
I loveee what you do Kylie!! It's as if everytime I watch your videos, I watch a cinematographic masterpiece. I always feel as if i'm in the same room when I watch. Thanks Kylie!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just wanted to drop in and say….I put your Italian learning videos on repeat two months before my first trip to Italy to see family I hadn’t met yet with my mother. 😅
This along with the other studies helped SO MUCH. These videos truly prepare you for everyday instead of the junk the apps and other lessons teach you.
I had to speak for both my mother and I the whole trip. I had NO trouble asking for directions, taking the train, taxi, ordering and general conversation. In fact I was complimented the whole trip on my Italian. THANK YOU!!
This comment makes me SO happy! Thank you! It’s the best feeling in the world when you make progress with a language!
Kylie, so beautiful! This was my husband’s favorite bar while he lived in Florence. Wonderful video!
What is the name ? I would like to visit while in Florence
@@VADACHE Gilli in Piazza della Repubblica ☺️
@@KylieFlavell Are they open during the pandemic?
It's so fun to learn Italian with such beautiful visuals as we dream of hopefully moving to italy
I really liked your video. You are so right about manners. My wife and I are in our sixties. It is so important to show respect for other cultures when you are visiting another country, and making a strong attempt at the language and complying with local customs is the best way to show that respect. We will be in Calabria in August. Non vedo l'ora provare parlare Italiano.
not planning on visiting Italy any time soon but i love these lessons non the less. and i totally agree with you as to manners, especially when you are in a foreign country. it shows people you respect their culture and are not just another careless tourist. i live in another latin country and i feel that learning all those polite phrases and litlle words have helped me to integrate here.
Kylie, I'm so glad I've discovered your videos. It's wonderful to see Florence today, I've whiled away many a happy hour in Gilli. I'm an art historian (18C Venetian art) and work in the cultural sector in Qatar ... I've been deprived of my visits to Italy and the South of France this year because of the pandemic so your videos are making such a difference right now. You can't imagine how lovely it is to watch your beautifully curated films. Warmest wishes to you!
Wow, what an interesting profession! Thank you for watching, Sophie.
Kylie, I have enrolled in an online class to learn to speak Italian, thank you for influencing us in indulging in such a beautiful language and culture. My son Lorenzo took us (family) to Florence in January, we actually stopped in at that Cafe! He speaks Italian so it was very helpful, now I want to be able to speak Italian and use it on our next visit! He also loves Italy as he has fortunately been able to visit while doing Modeling shoots. Thank you for your commitment to such great works that we may enjoy and learn from!
Thank you Kylie, I can't wait to show off my new Italian with my dear friend when I visit him ! I would also love a video about phrases that will help me to be more respectful, I would love to turn those moments of miscommunication into something more sweet ☺️✨
😘😘
Grazie Mille, love the lesson. I am just beginning studying Italian this year during the virus, so when I found this video, I took out my notebook immediately and was over the top pleased. You are a great teacher, among all your other attributes. I will watch this video over and over again until I get it 100% ! Grazie gentillisima!
Thank you for the Italian lesson. Much appreciated. And yes manners are so important. Good manner make a person be so delightful to be around.
Salve. Sono italiano ma seguo le tue lezioni perchè sono sicuro che mi torneranno utili se andrò all'estero. Sei bravissima. Grazie
I am italian, I know how to order a coffee. Why am I watching this video? Whatever, I like it :D
You are not only an accomplished filmmaker, but also an educator. Thanks for sharing. I'll be looking forward to the harvest episode.

Thank god good italian lessons... at long last someone sees there is a need.. thank you it’s very well presented and exactly what all of us need to keep our holiday italian going.. keep it up. You will end up no 1 .
Good start with the Italian crooner Nicola Arigliano!!! Song...Un giorno ti dirò, A day I will tell you...
Stimulating and artistic and illuminating agh yes I love it
Can we have another video on coffee shops. Just love watching and having my cup of latte. Thanks!!!!
I'm definitely going to give that book a try. Words and manners matter more than we think! And now for some reason I'm craving for something sweet and a coffee 😄
Amazing video and cinematic, great explanation of the Italian Coffee rules, and the way to ask all "item" of a good breakfast. In add to this I also appreciate your smoothy voice in all of your videos ... great!! Nice work
A perfect watch for a friday night in lockdown, thank you beautiful soul 🤗♥️
Brava, Kylie! Not only for an excellent, well-structured and engaging lesson, but also for highlighting the importance of manners. Yes, they are a super power! Grazie!
Loved it Kylie, and excellent choice for doing a language lesson centered on a theme, particularly how common the coffee/cafe culture is global and particularly how beautiful and important in Italian culture. I remember being on holiday a few years ago in a small village outside Rome, and while not as glamorous as the Bar you were in Florence, the morning ritual of caffe and cornetti was enjoyable experience. I didn't speak any Italian at the time and the barista didn't speak any English, but she was very patient with us and knew our order after a few days. It still remains one of my fondest memories of that holiday. I saved your video to watch again and again to practice!
😊😊😊😊😊 Lovely memory. Thank you for watching, Dave
Your video promotions are elegant and show Italy at its best. They are simply awesome! I’ve been to Italy but would have done/seen more if I had known of your utubes sooner. Love your promotions. Tourism should hire you.
Excellent! Way better than a Duolingo lesson. More! More! Brava Kylie xx
