Hello! I’m a 19 year old Italian American, I never got to learn the language my grandparents spoke since they passed before they could teach my parents Italian, my dream is to be fluent in Italian and finally be able to call myself a real Italian, where do I start?
I'm a native Spanish speaker, and a fluent English speaker. I'm now starting to learn Italian. I joined an evening class for adults in English and I feel like it's very slow.
I would like to make some progress on the side as the classes feel very introductory. I did Duolingo for a year or so but felt like I wasn't really learning anything. Are there any better apps? Or if you have any recommendations on how to speed up my learning process.
Thank you in advance for the help :)
I was born in italy and italian was my second “native” language.I moved to my actual native country at 6 ,and since then i can’t speak italian.I suppose it’s from the lack of speaking it.The annoying thing is that i can understand it,but i can’t talk it.I know i know it,but it’s like my mind and tongue are paralysed even though i know the language. It feels awful. I can even speak a little(but very poorly)if i watch a few videos in italian.
How fast do you guys think i could relearn italian?I‘m in 12th grade and thinking of going to university in Bologna,where i was born. My only concern is that i won’t be able to remember the language as fast as i want to:(
I’m doing genealogy research on my mother’s side of the family. I found my grandmother’s death certificate and I can’t decipher her birth location. I tried looking up different variations but don’t see a realistic match to any place in Naples. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Edit: Wow. Thank you everybody for your thoughtful and thorough comments. I really appreciate your help. After looking through them all I truly believe the correct answer is Rocca Imperiale. I remember being told that this side of my family is from Calabria so seeing Naples did not make sense to me. Rocca Imperiale is more plausible. Thank you all again 💞
When would one use
Penso che tu sia stato pazzo
vs
Penso che tu fossi pazzo.
Thank you
Currently learning Italian and I'm looking for someone to practice speaking and chatting with regularly. Whether you're a native speaker or another learner, I'd love to have conversations, help each other improve, and learn Italian together in a fun.
hi! are there any 🏴☠️ sites where i could watch shows or movies dubbed in italian, maybe even with subtitles on? there are many such sites for my native language so I'm guessing there's at least one for italian. thank you
