This was so helpful when we went to Italy last month! It gave us a basic overview and helped us understand the culture especially saying “buon giorno” or “buona sera” in a store. We saw how appreciated that was. I’m inspired to learn more Italian now because I’m going back. Bella Italia ♥️
Great video . The teacher has a good command of italian language and a fantastic pronunciation too.it was so fun to watch this lesson . By the way don't you worry about some mistake because in italy people appreciate the effort you might put into learning the language. So have a good trip and stay in italy please come and visit naples and royal Palace of Caserta that is considered the most largest recidency of royal Palace in the world.
You know, I've been studying on my own, but seeing a teacher...this really helped me alot...some clarification and the numbers suddenly made sense after I started freezing up and got freaked out to the point of not wanting to try to learn them! Thanks so much!
I am SO impressed with this! Its enunciated well...i get a chance to try pronouncing it...and you explain what it is im trying to say. This is brilliant! Ty!
In my experience, it's more common to hear and say "non ho capito" for "I didn't understand," though they'll likely get what you mean if you say it the way she says it here.
Thanks! However some things like saying I would like a tassa of caffe? Really? I don't speak italian but I'm pretty sure it should be tazza when it comes to coffee.
She is a more effective teacher than the one who was teaching the essential German for the tourists. I saw the video for that language with Gretchen, and I thought that as someone who speaks the language at B1 or B2 level, I can do a more effective job of teaching the essential German to get around .
This is interesting, but btw 'spaghetti' word needs double 't' as 'vendetta' too. About the words'scienza' and 'partenza'the z is more like 'Jazz' sound or 'pizza' and it's not like 'Zac' the name. 'Agenzìa' and not 'agénzia'. Buono/Cattivo as a quality.
I thought the triphthong “gli” produced the “lee” sound in Italian, why are you teaching that it is pronounced like Spanish “ñ”? I may be confused, but many websites agreed with me, saying that “gli” makes a “lee” sound. I always though “gn” is what made the “ñ” sound. Whoever knows Italian well, explain it to me.
I've been researching this as well and I get conflicting information depending on the word. I think the "l" overwrites the Spanish sounding ñ but in other instances like gn it keeps the ñ sound.
They aren't used in Italian except in borrowed foreign words, like taxi or yogurt. You won't see J much either, except in Jazz and Juventus (soccer team from Rome).
@@chamberorchestraogden2189 No, they are two very different things. In Italian, in the musical environment, cello is often used as an abbreviation for violoncello, but the context in the sentence was very different. The correct form was ce l'ho = I have it
She needs to double check her Italian. I'm Italian and am disappointed in the quality of what she is teaching. Gramme for grammi? Organico for biologico? Latte with an accent? Really? How is she allowed to teach poor Italian on such a huge platform?
Dai, già sarebbe da ammirare con il solo fatto che sponsorizza l'italiano nel mondo.. almeno non sono i soliti anglo-americani che ti parlano in inglese aspettandosi che tutti lo parlino a pennello persino all'estero lol non è una lingua facile, è una donna da ammirare.
I'm thinking you're not the authority of proper Italian. There are many dialects and accents in Italy. I'm sure any Italian would understand the pronunciation in this video.
@@harpmaster480I'm trying to learn some Italian, so not an expert. But I've read that come sta is a more formal way to say "how are you?" And come stai is informal.
It's mostly good for travelers, so I hate to nitpick, but it's important to teach the correct things, and errors are starting to add up here I've studied my share of different languages, and it's tremendously frustrating to discover you've been taught the wrong thing and to then have to un-learn something. It can also be a bit embarrassing at times. I bagagli, not gli bagagli. Fermata dell'autobus, not "de". De is Spanish. Grammo/grammi, never "gramme".
why do customers have to respect the store workers ? shouldn't the store clerks show customer service and try to sell their goods ? is this an Italian cultural custom ?
What a strange comment. You should respect them because they are human beings and you should respect everyone until they prove they don't deserve it. Many people provide good service because they are proud of what they do and how well they do it. Not so they get a good tip.
If this is a real question, please don't go to Italy, or to any store or business, for that matter. Basic good manners and human decency should go in both directions. If you find that strange, please stay home.
As an Italian I can say there are several mistakes and I've been only watching till 10:54 ,Tassa means Tax not mug , , it's Vaniglia not Vainiglia ,Scienza is not pronounced correctly it should be pronounced like Shientza not like Shienza, Casa is pronounced with a voiced S only in the North , I don't understand why here in Italy English is taught by native speakers or people with a real command of the language and in America it isn't , shame on you !

Going to Naples in a month :) thanks for suggestion

Trish is an excellent teacher. Great video!! Thanks for this introduction!
Thanks Trish that was un Fantastico teaching Sessione. 🇮🇹
Il paese più bello del mondo, tuttavia, la bella lingua 🤩
Not that you're not tipping, the tip's included and service is slow and inattentive. Sounds like a much better system
Buongiorno. Great video, excellent lesson. Italian sounds beautifully. A sort of muzical melody. Grazie mille. 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I am SO impressed with this! Its enunciated well...i get a chance to try pronouncing it...and you explain what it is im trying to say. This is brilliant! Ty!
Like Will said “just stay right here” wonderful video! Grazie!!
Trish, you are an excellent teacher!
Nope, she isn't.
This is one of my favorite beginner videos.

Ohibò! Si dice: i bagagli. Gli only when a noun starts with a vowel sound and it is masculine and other special sounds but not “b”
Amazing!! Thank you!
Nice explanation about the pronunciations.
Superb presentation!
Very helpful, thanks.
In my experience, it's more common to hear and say "non ho capito" for "I didn't understand," though they'll likely get what you mean if you say it the way she says it here.
Fantastico!
Thanks! However some things like saying I would like a tassa of caffe? Really? I don't speak italian but I'm pretty sure it should be tazza when it comes to coffee.
thank you. yes I have checked a number of sources and tazza is cup, tassa is fee.
Fantastico❤️❤️grazie mille 👌👌
Good review, merci.
excellent lesson thank you. Does anyone know if Trish gives lessons? I can;t find any info. thanks
Grazie mille Trish
Very good method

Depends on dialect, North and South Italian can be quite different 😎
The "Gn" Is pronounced like the Spanish "ñ". The "gli" Is pronounced more like "lyēē" (not, as she said, like the "y" in "yes").
What happened to the W, X,and Y for the alphabet pronunciation?
They aren't used in Italian except in borrowed foreign words, like taxi or yogurt. You won't see J much either, except in Jazz and Juventus (soccer team from Rome).
g razie mille
Tassa = Tax ; Tazza = cup; no gramme but grammi
What is it cello? Really Mafia? With all nice words we got you have to say mafia!
"GROTTO" is ENGLISH - "grottA" is ITALIAN ;-)
*vaniglia
Mi chiamo e' Sabato Domingo
Top, did you ever give my music a listen? Love to see more!
Tassa is tax
Non io capisco?
It is grammo not gramme
as an Italian I must say that the teacher makes many mistakes, one in particular; there is no Italian word "cello". Invention...
Yes you're right. Also she suggest to order a "tassa" of coffe as a coffe cup but it is the wrong word. Cup is "tazza"
Francesco, isn't cello simply a contraction of violoncello? In English we say cello most of the time, rather than saying violoncello.
@@chamberorchestraogden2189 No, they are two very different things. In Italian, in the musical environment, cello is often used as an abbreviation for violoncello, but the context in the sentence was very different. The correct form was ce l'ho = I have it
@@francescotoniato1296 Ah, I see. I didn't realize the context. My apologies.
@@chamberorchestraogden2189 No problem. Even some Italians make the same mistake. My English is worse ...
She needs to double check her Italian. I'm Italian and am disappointed in the quality of what she is teaching. Gramme for grammi? Organico for biologico? Latte with an accent? Really? How is she allowed to teach poor Italian on such a huge platform?
Dai, già sarebbe da ammirare con il solo fatto che sponsorizza l'italiano nel mondo.. almeno non sono i soliti anglo-americani che ti parlano in inglese aspettandosi che tutti lo parlino a pennello persino all'estero lol non è una lingua facile, è una donna da ammirare.
I'm thinking you're not the authority of proper Italian. There are many dialects and accents in Italy. I'm sure any Italian would understand the pronunciation in this video.
Yes. I noticed she used the Spanish pronunciation of “how are you” - come stai. It should not be “stah”
The good news is these are just travelers. They’ll be in and out before they can even use half of this 😂
@@harpmaster480I'm trying to learn some Italian, so not an expert. But I've read that come sta is a more formal way to say "how are you?" And come stai is informal.

I bagagli, not gli bagagli.
Fermata dell'autobus, not "de". De is Spanish. Grammo/grammi, never "gramme".

Gramme doesn't exist. It's grammi. Learn the language before teaching it, please.
