Ways to get it wrong
Don't say 'fantastico' for everything.
While 'fantastico' is common, overuse can sound less sincere; vary your compliments.
Pronounce the 'c' in 'fantastico'.
It's a hard 'k' sound, not a soft 's' sound like in 'ciao'.
A small cultural note
Italians often use strong adjectives to express admiration. Be prepared to return the compliment!
