i definitely like the new format!!! easier for me to learn this way. i agree with the below, seeing your face say the words is very helpful! but, i like the pastry pics for reference also.
Grazie per il tuo feedback! This format is easier to produce for me, especially since I'm planning on making A LOT of these video to cover all different situation you encounter when visiting Italy. But I'll keep some pictures in them!
I really like this format! I like to learn in themes or topics that apply to real interactions as a visitor to Italy on day! Cheers from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦
Glad you do, Joyce! You can find more in this playlist (the series is now called "Italian Phrases for Travelling": th-cam.com/play/PLaeKp_sNLJVy_kc3t5Q8ynAoYHDxTQoMR.html
Thank you so much for helping me with learning Italian, I have found your videos so helpful. I also really like this format too. I am learning Italian because I want to communicate with my partners family when we visit Italy. It would be helpful to know some things that his family may ask me like general conversations and the appropriate responses, maybe about how I’m doing, how is is work going, do I like Italy because even if I can sometimes pick out what they are saying I struggle with actually responding. Thank you so much 🥰
Grazie per il tuo feedback! I've noted your request down. I'm actually working on both phrases and conversation examples that will cover some of the most common situations you may encounter when visiting Italy, so I'll definitely cover that one too. Meanwhile, if you want to listen to dialogues related to this video, make sure to check out my latest video! th-cam.com/video/puKvrKJHqRA/w-d-xo.html
Grazie Valentina. I like this format. Could you include some possible responses or questions that the waiter might say? Also I would like to see you live as well.
Grazie per il tuo feedback! I'm actually working right now on a "sister series" of actual conversations in Italian taking place in the same situations. I hope that answers your request! As for the format, the videos where I show myself are much more work (and time) for me to produce, and since I want to make A LOT of these new videos with phrases and conversations, in order to cover many different situations, I'll have to stick with this to make it doable. But I'll keep showing myself for other videos, eg. grammar and pronunciation.
Yes Valentin, I already have more uploaded and more coming! 😉 You can find them in my "Italian Phrases for Conversation" Playlist, I've recently renamed them into "Italian for Travelling": th-cam.com/play/PLaeKp_sNLJVy_kc3t5Q8ynAoYHDxTQoMR.html
I like the format. One slight change. Rather than a picture of you on the corner. Show yourself in a small video going over the lecture. It helps to watch you pronounce the words.

Buon viaggio! They are different articles, we pick a different one depending on the gender, number and beginning of the word. I have a dedicated recorded class on articles, where I go over this topic in depth with many examples. You can find it here: www.valentinastellatutor.com/register/live-class-with-valentina-stella-12march22/ Also, you can find more videos like this with Italian phrases and expressions in my dedicated playlist "Italian Phrases for Conversation": th-cam.com/play/PLaeKp_sNLJVy_kc3t5Q8ynAoYHDxTQoMR.html
Yes, they are widely available nowadays! Soy is probably the most used in bars, but you can also find other vegetable options and most supermarkets sell all of them.
It's funny, I think I should try to respond in Italian. Yet I always freeze up and don't. I have this fear of being wrong I guess. I'm sure I am not alone. Anyway. I enjoyed this. As others have said I do like seeing you. I liked how you explained things, especially in the first half of this. There was several things that I wonder about in the second half. If I wasn't tired I would ask about them. Perhaps I will the next time I watch this. OH, I was told that if I ordered a caffè in Italy it would automatically be an espresso. Is that true? Personally I like the coffee I make with my Moka pot. 😀
Hi i am from India i am new to your channel. I followed your vedios to learn this language because after 4 months i am moving to italy so need to learn this language. Your vedios are so helpful and interesting. I have one question that can i get vedios like chapter wise 1 and 2 many more so that i understand from where to start. Thankyou please do reply.
Valentina, grazie mille per tutti I video! Sono confuso. First you said "Posso avere un caffè" which is something I have seen used, but then you repeat says many times that Avere is never used when ordering food
Buongiorno Leo! Sorry for the late reply but your comment escaped me, just noticed it today when replying to another with the same question, so I'll paste my answer here. That depends on the different usage of avere/to have in Italian and English. They are *mostly* used the same way, but NOT always. One of the differences is when talking about food/drinks, specifically *consuming* them. Let me show you an example. In English, is very common to say: "I'll have a pizza for dinner". You are using "to have" but you mean you are going to "eat" a pizza. So in this instance in Italian you can't use "avere", because avere just means "to have got", can't be used when the real meaning is "eating/drinking". In those cases you need to be more specific, using "mangiare" or "bere". THIS IS THE ONE CASE I meant when saying "you can't use "avere" for food and drinks". So, "I'll have a pizza for dinner" > Mangerò una pizza per cena, OR "I'll have a glass of wine tonight" > Berrò un bicchiere di vino stasera. This is NOT the case when you ask someone to get you something, like when you say "May I have a coffee?". In this case you are asking TO GET that thing (then most probably you are going to consume it too, but in this sentence the focus is: can you GIVE IT to me?). So in this instance it is CORRECT to use "avere" also in Italian. So: "Posso avere un caffè?" Hope this clarifies it!
Ciao, I am confused. You used avere in the explanation for "can I have" when ordering but yet in your explanation for caffe macchiato you advise "avere" (to have) is not used for ordering and only prendere (to take). In both cases, although expressed differently, the customer is ordering. Can you help me understand this?
Grazie per il tuo feedback! I'll keep showing my thought process in other videos, eg. grammar ones. For these ones, I find it easier to go through the slides, as we cover a lot of phrases and situations!
Great stuff Valentina. Where did you learn English, no mainstream the accent. I like your previous approach where you repeated the Italian phrase. caffè lungo, Americano, long black?
Not exactly. "Caffè doppio" is two shots of espresso served in the same cup, and it's not very common in Italy. "Caffè lungo" is the same shot of espresso, but you let the machine run for longer (hence "lungo") so the amount of liquid that comes out is more, but the amount of coffee in the filter is the same.

So in this instance it is CORRECT to use "avere" also in Italian. So: "Posso avere un caffè?". In this instance, you can also use "prendere" as in "Prendo un caffè, grazie". Hope this clarifies it!

I am confused. Why do you say that? We don’t use avere when it comes to food but they are sentences hear that start with poison avere followed by a food item

Yes, they are widely available nowadays! Soy is probably the most used in bars, but you can also find other vegetable options and most supermarkets sell all of them.

How do I ask for 2 Caffè and 2 hot chocolate and 2 crema cornetto and 2 chocolate cornetto
I prefer the old format where we see you I feel we are interacting directly
More videos with that format are coming back soon 😉
I like the format... but it would be nice to see you live in the corner... it helps to see you annunciation the words
