Today I’m taking you with me to a weekly mercato in Northern Italy, where I recorded three real interactions with local vendors: at the panetteria, the rosticceria, and the banco di casalinghi.
🎧 This entire episode is in Italian, complete with my natural mistakes and the gentle corrections from the vendors, a truly authentic listening experience.
