Grazie. Most of us know that that means thank you in Italian, but what are some ways that we can

express thanks when we're in Italy? As we know, a little thanks goes a long way, so I'm taking

another lesson in Italian to learn some useful phrases that can be used in different scenarios,

plus some etiquette lessons too, on episode 272 of the Untold Italy podcast.

Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns

and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia.

Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes,

history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta.

If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there,

you've come to the right place.

Ciao, amici, wangiorno, friends, comestai, how are you doing today?

I hope you're very well and I'm ready for

another little Italian language and cultural lesson with my lovely friend, Monica from Sumasura, Italy,

a language coaching service that I personally use. We wanted to make an episode for you about how to express

appreciation and we'll get started on that in a minute. But in fact, there is no better time

than now to say, gratsia and thank you to all of you, our listeners, for tuning in each and every

week. We really appreciate you. The first episode of the Untold Italy podcast was published

over five years ago now and many of you have been with us from the very start and it's incredible to think about

that sometimes. Some of you I have met in person which has been very special but we also appreciate

all the notes, messages and reviews that you send. There would be no Untold Italy podcast if we

didn't have listeners so Grazumiele and let's start learning about all the ways that you can express appreciation when you

visit Italy.
