4 Best Resources to Start Learning Italian as a Beginner + Study Plan

[@SkylarHamilton-i1b]

Committing to FINALLY becoming fluent in Italian, and I'm so thrilled your video was the first one that popped up!

[@SheaJordan]

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that!

Hi Shea! I found your channel a few years ago when I was learning Spanish. It's wonderful that you actually moved to Italy! I got stuck on the intermediate plateau (B1) but I've been to Mexico twice and Latin culture will always be a passion of mine. For people reading this, even if you don't learn the whole language, language learning is still helpful and enriching.

Thanks to all those who want to learn the Italian language. Until a year ago I believed that few people in the world studied the Italian language, however, upon inquiring, I found that this is not the case. Thanks again to all of you. This language is not easy but your "teacher" speaks it very well. Greetings from Italy, I live about 40 kilometers from Florence (about 25 miles).

Hi, Your recommendations are spot-on, especially the online Italian Club and the Fable Cottage. I appreciate your advice on not overwhelming oneself with too many resources. It's practical and makes the journey feel more manageable. Thanks for sharing such valuable tips and resources. Looking forward to your next video! Grazie mille! 🌟📚

[@martha-carysadler9548]

it is very generous of you to share your tips. Reviewing Online Italian Club now and will also check out your other recommendations. Just so you know, your recommendations are already making an impact. THANK YOU!

[@earshut1301]

Thank you for this. Looks like online italian club is my best choice now for my level

[@SheaJordan]

Yeah it’s an awesome resource to start with!

[@dariageorgieva7139]

Thank you for that video!I am learning italian alone and i really like it.😇😊Grazie mille bella!

[@SheaJordan]

Yay I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😊

[@thedavidguy01]

Very good advice ! I have a tendency to use far too many different resources because I get bored easily. I’m going to take your advice and concentrate on a few key resources. One thing that is worth mentioning is that you can have completely different levels in different skills. So, you may be able to advance a lot in reading, for example, even if your speaking is very limited.

[@SheaJordan]

Yeah exactly! I think it helped me a lot to cut down on my resources. And definitely, I still feel like my speaking skill is lower than comprehension 😓

[@thedavidguy01]

@@SheaJordan if you think about it, your comprehension is lower than your speaking in English, too. Think about some impressive person you’ve listened to. You understood everything but you probably can’t speak at that same level.

[@7Shivers]

This is fantastic advice, thank you so much for sharing! Love your channel!!

[@SheaJordan]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@foreverlearningfrench]

[@SheaJordan]

Thank you! 😊

My plan is to use this amazing podcast ive found on Spotify and music in general. Also Italian club and listen and learn as i do everything gym, cleaning, work ect. Then eventually one to one tutoring when i can string a sentence together also will definitely check out your 30 day looks interesting.

[@SheaJordan]

That’s a great plan!

[@MeditationMode--ON]

what's the name of the podcast please

[@Alex-uw9gq]

Hi, I saw this video and another one, I have understood everything, but when I watch on KZbin a piece of an American serie or movie I understand almost the 40% of what the say. So my question is: in your videos do you speak slowly than when you are whit an American? I apologize for mistakes, I'm not so good when i write in English, and as an Italian I'm happy that you like Italy. ❤

[@boualemimedjdouben2171]

Hi shea, Inchallah one day I will start to learn italia langue because I love italian language (io volio beni la lingua italiana )

[@SheaJordan]

That’s great! Good luck learning 😊

[@lisadwyer4631]

I just discovered you. What resources would you recommend that would teach Italian pronunciation? I feel getting that down first is a big help. Thanks.

[@Loana-j7x]

Thank you

[@SheaJordan]

Thanks for watching!

[@terrystaxi4253]

Sorry i’m so confused on how to use online italian club, it jumps right into conversational aspects in A1 and i can’t find the grammar?? I mean yes there’s a section but i can’t find the super beginner phrases teaching 😭

[@terezakratochvilova3224]

Hi can i ask, do you recommend duolingo?

[@SheaJordan]

Hi! I don’t really recommend it. It’s fun but it won’t help you actually learn and be able to speak a language. You can use it for daily practice or as part of your study routine, but you need to do other study activities in addition to Duolingo if you really want to be able to speak a language. That’s my take on it! 😊

[@roarkbjorn2389]

what do you do for a job ?

[@melodieknowsit]

Hiii I have been following you for a while but I only just decided to test out some Italian, I’m a French speaker and I hope it can be something fun and not too hard for me ! I’m practising the r 😂

[@SheaJordan]

Yay! Hahah I think it shouldn’t be too hard for you! Good luck with studying, hope you like it 😊
