Ciao a tutti. Oggi ho una domanda relazionata all'italiano informale. Vorrei sapere se si dice "totalmente" (o qualche variante) in italiano popolare (standard o dialetti) per dire che sei "totalmente d'accordo" con l'altra persona. Come in inglese, che si può dire "I totally agree" o semplicemente "totally"? In spagnolo, noi diciamo "total" oppure "totalmente". Grazie! (e scusate il mio italiano, sto imparando ancora).

Se c’è qualche docente tra di voi, ho fatto una demo di un gioco sulla divina commedia.

Magari ai vostri ragazzi può piacere!

Hi, I’m looking to take the CILS B1 Standard exam mid June. From looking at some past papers, is the grammar section always consisted of:

1. Articles and preposition + articles
2. Verb tenses
3. Vocab test, multiple choices
4. Understand/summarize sentences, multiple choices

Thanks and if you are also taking it, best of luck! :)

I was wondering how an Italian speaker would say "until death" or "until I die" but in the context of deep loyalty. For example, a Raiders fan would say "Raiders till I die." I've seen "fino alla morte" but it doesn't seem like it would be correct in this context." Thanks in advance for the help.

It means "[pronoun] just need(s) to," correct? What does the "non" do to give this phrase its meaning? Would it not mean the same without it?

Thanks.

Ciao a tutti!

Secondo anno di Lingua e Cultura Italiana qui e onestamente mi sento un po' perso.

Capisco quasi tutto quando ascolto o leggo ma appena devo aprire bocca mi blocco totalmente riesco a malapena a mettere insieme frasi complete sono sempre risposte brevi,semplici,e poi silenzio imbarazzante. Nel frattempo vedo i miei compagni che parlano scioltamente e mi sento tipo... sto perdendo qualcosa?

Il contesto: ho scelto italiano un po' per caso all'inizio, non era proprio la mia prima scelta Però adesso che ci sono dentro non voglio mollare,anche perché so che il terzo anno sarà ancora più tosto e non voglio arrivarci già in difficoltà.

L'estate è lunga e vorrei usarla bene Qualcuno ha consigli concreti per migliorare il parlato e guadagnare un po' di sicurezza? Serie TV, podcast, libri, app, esercizi… qualsiasi cosa che ha funzionato per voi quando vi sentivate bloccati. Grazie in anticipo 🙏

I told a group of people at the bar "devo scopare" instead of "devo scappare" and I’m mortified

I've been studying Italian with a tutor 3 times a week for about half a year now and I just finished a lesson about prepositions where I could barely understand the sentences in the exercises - thinking to myself, "Have I gotten worse??" Then I realized that it's been 6 months straight of learning grammar and doing fill-in-the-blank exercises, and I still struggle holding simple conversations. My tutor insists on chugging through the grammar first, which I understand and agree with, but are there any ways to practice conversationally if I have no friends or family to speak Italian to?

curently i have 0 knowledge of italian.i want to learn it from scratch /very beginning.can anyone tell me what should i do? Should i try duolingo? is it worth it? i want to learn b2 speaking .any youtube playlist will be worth it?

Ciao a tutti, voglio praticare l’italiano, qualcuno può aiutarmi? Sono iniciante

Hi im trying to improve my italian, currently im on a basic Niveau like ordering in a Restaurant. I dont have much time so i want to combine it with tv shows. What would you recommend?

i feel a headache and no desire to keep going i mean i only had interest to pick this language as i will live there in the near future i don’t wanna struggle like other immigrant who spend years or time to learn this beautiful language i don’t wanna give up this one. I’m currently watching English audio with Italian dub with a awareness that it will slow down my learning process can someone give me tips i don’t want to hate this language im just in this phase i feel like quitting

Well I would be so glad if you help me figure out how and when use these 2 important kinda verbs.. thanks in advance 😍😍😍😍❤️

Would it be correct to say "girare a destra" to mean "you turn right" or "giri a destra"? Would both be appropriate?

Hey everyone. I just started learning Italian. I want to self study and want to have a structured progress in which I’ll know when I’m A1 or B1 etc. is there a free course you can recommend? I plan on giving it 1 hours and 10 minutes a day everyday.

As an Italian native speaker, I am curious to know!

Is there any Italian regional dialect that still uses these ancient forms of the verb dire, bere and fare? Particularly interested in fare. I know some conjugations still make the root appear, but is there anyone at all in Italy using the infinitives?

Many thanks!
