Ciao Matteo!
Ciao Katie!
Come stai?
Bien!
Ma Matteo... you mean bene.
Oh yeah, well I knew that of course... it must be because I was in Spain the other week... there they say "bien" when someone asks you how you are...
Hmm, well Diana, a teacher in our online Italian school, was telling me that's actually quite a common error among students... there are a few mistakes when answering come stai that students should watch out for, even at quite advanced levels.
Well… let's do an episode about that!
In this episode, you’ll learn how to answer come stai like the natives do, and avoid 3 common mistakes.
