15 ITALIAN WORDS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COMING TO ITALY!

[@fortnitecreator7945]

i’m 13 and have family in italy and i’m still learning italian and they all adore it when i speak to them each year a little more

[@jbr2991]

Sofie, I watched this video almost daily several weeks before our trip to Italy. It was so helpful and actually was enough to converse with almost everyone. The people there were extremely friendly and appreciated the effort I had taken to speak their language. I think it helped make our two week trip easier, and a lot more fun. Grazie, Janie

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

[@erinintechnicolourII]

I visited Italy for the first time earlier in 2017 and had only learned prego as "you're welcome", which was so confusing when waiters would bring food and say prego, I was thinking "was that a really sarcastic 'you're welcome' because they had to bring it to me? Was I meant to do something else and I annoyed them?" so I would definitely recommend anyone else learn multiple meanings of words like prego too!

[@sofiesworld]

Haha! Exactly!!! Thanks for sharing, Erin! xx

[@aldapellegrino6712]

Erin Bridges : The word "prego" is interchangeable. In the case of the waiter, he was being polite in serving you and. Sofie explained the term exceptionally well.

True. I noticed that it's used not only int german language countries but even in France and also in eastern Europe. I thought they were similar words but they were not actually, since it is a linguistic influence of italian immigration in those other european countries.

[@sofiesworld]

You are too kind, thanks Thomas! My fiance and his family are from Calabria, so that could be where I get my Southern twang from :) Have a great day!

[@ntnntl96]

Ha una pronuncia tendenzialmente meridionale (calabrese-siciliana) per il fatto che apre tutte le vocali. Però credo sia anche più facile per un anglosassone poichè pronunciare le "o" e le "e" chiuse è un problema per loro perchè non hanno questo suoni singolarmente, ma sono solo presenti in alcuni dittonghi. Poi nell'inglese britannico la o chiusa non esiste neanche nei dittonghi. Per esempio in italiano "dove" si pronuncia [d̪oːve], un siciliano direbbe [d̪ɔːvɛ], un americano [doʊveɪ], un britannico [dəʊveɪ]

I’ve been here for a month in a coastal town in Calabria and cannot stress enough that most people don’t speak any foreign languages or will only understand a few words (if you accentuate them enough). I’m lucky enough to be speaking Spanish and French and have been improvising my way trough Italian communication with a lot of effort but also having many dead ends where either of us couldn’t find a way to each other understood. 😂 I’m picking up a few words everyday, ... “va bene?” (How are you? ) is helpful for reoccurring meetings.

[@aldapellegrino6712]

: Comparatively speaking, English is one of the easiest languages to learn----Italian may seem easy, considering that every letter is enunciated as it appears. However, the grammar is unbelievably difficult. Unlike English, adjectives in Italian, French and most Western European languages must agree with the noun, depending on the gender. Then, there are a million and one exceptions. For example, the word hand is "mano". Typically, words that end in "o" are masculine----however, "la mano" is feminine, ending in "o". The tenses ( verbs) are as intricately mind-boggling as they come. Yet, the language is the most melodious and beautifully poetic sounding, in the world!! I speak it fluently, as I do French----Nonetheless, French does not hold a candle to Italian---too guttural; as is German.🤗🙋

[@heatherperleberg7816]

Sto imparando nell'italiano (lentamente), e sono d'accordo ha difficile grammatica.

[@tinalettieri]

Yes, you're right, especially more formal expression. We tend to use the impassive form. I've learned this playing "Words of Wonder" in Italian. The definitions usually translate to something like "it is used by a cook for making polenta." In English we just say "a cook uses this for making polenta." The good thing about the app is that it tends to repeat questions so the more unfamiliar ones are becoming retained in my strange brain that needs to use, rather than rote memorize.

[@brookefesta]

Hi I am part Italian but I live in Australia. I would love to learn the language of my country but I don’t see my Nono enough for him to be able to teach me. My dad used to speak it fluently as a child but he no longer does. One thing I have noticed when learning Italian is the expression in the sentences is very different English. Is this something that also needs to be picked up when learning Italian? Expressing the words and sentences in a specific way???

[@spiritwolf5792]

I'd suggest using "Mi può aiutare" instead of "Ho bisogno di aiuto", as the latter sounds more alarmist.
