| 5. Fare un picnic. “to have a picnic.” |

Maybe you are the boyfriend or potential partner and you want to prepare the food and you want to surprise her. So you say, Andiamo a fare un picnic? Which means like, “would you like to go for a picnic?” And when you actually get there, you know, you prepare your food and she will be like very delighted about this. |

| Cenare e vedere un film con te è la ricetta per una serata perfetta. “Having dinner and seeing a movie with you is the recipe for a perfect night.” |
| Something very sweet to say. |
| 7. Fare un giro in traghetto. “to take a ferry ride.” |
| Per la luna di miele faremo un giro in traghetto lungo tutto la laguna di Venezia. “For the honeymoon, we will take a ferry ride down along the entire Venice lagoon.” |
| Spot on idea. By the way, also Amalfi Coast, it should be something really nice to see for a honeymoon and Garda Lake as well or Como Lake if you have never been there. They are really, really nice and romantic places also because of the nature and the buildings. So it is like a combination of very nice things. |
| 8. Camminare sulla spiaggia. “to walk on the beach.” |
| La sera ci piace camminare sulla spiaggia guardando il tramonto. “In the evenings, we like to walk on the beach watching the sunset.” |

| 9. Frequentare un corso di ceramica. “to take a pottery class.” |

| 10. Aandare al museo. “to go to the museum.” |
