I just discovered this series, so useful

[@fabriblu4574]

I’d love to hug each Pearson that wrote something nice about Italy ❤️

[@karenshokry3292]

They're friendly, fashion and good food .I love that about them❤️.... I can speak Italian a bit❤️

[@gerontodon]

They were pretty big in the Renaissance. I've even heard that Shakespeare (whoever he was) got a lot of his ideas from Italian sources. Galileo was wrong though, Tycho Brahe was on the right track - ask Simon Shack, he lives in Rome. On the whole, I think Italy's more interesting than Spain. Unfortunately, a lot of them fell pretty heavily for all that nonsense 4 years ago, especially in the North. You've got Stefano Scoglio though.

I wish I lived in Italy. I love it, warts and all. Ma seconda me Italia è il paese più bellissima del mondo!

⁠@@gerontodonHo letto il libro "Shakespeare by Another Name" di Mark Anderson che ha sosstenuto che il dieciasettissimo Earl of Oxford erà il scrivatore chi si chiama . Erà un argomento molto convincente, ma dopo io avevo letto altri libri e controargomentazzione e penso adesso che William Shakespeare di Stratford-upon-Avon sia il vero scrittore del Shakespeare's ouvre. Questa persona era povero, ma anche molto intelligente, ambissiosa, creativa, e lui aveva anche accesso al istruzione tramite King Edward VI School. Penso che il argomento di Anderson sia "debole"--troppo unlaterale e (un pochino) elitario.

[@gerontodon]

@blossom9565 Ok, what I got was, that you read a book called Shakespeare By Another Name by Mark Anderson where he suggested that the 17th Earl of Oxford was the writer known as Shakespeare. It was a very convincing argument, but you read other books that made counterarguments, and think that William Shakespeare of Stratford Upon Avon was the true author of the works of Shakespeare. He was poor, but also very intelligent, ambitious and creative, and he also had access to the (good) education available at the King Edward VI school. You thought that Anderson's argument was a little biased, and a bit elitist. How did I do? 😊

[@lisengel2498]

I am an absolute beginner but this way of practicing Italian is very good. I love to listen first, get enough time and some repetitions and then see everything written and repeated - excellent

[@titteryenot4524]

A nice, gentle way to ease oneself into Italian.

[@Zedd1500]

Thanks for this. This is a fantastic way to learn Italian, one of the most beautiful languages in the world, and which I plan to use to aid my learning.

[@PolyglotParadise]

Good luck to all those learning Italian! Honestly one of the best decisions you can make in your life!

[@thankcrunchiefriday]

Thanks so much for uploading all this, Darren. I never knew that Being Italian programme existed - it was good to see the first few minutes that you got recorded, and I'll certainly be using it in school.

[@georgie8559]

This is brilliant, thank you so much for uploading, very handy for keeping up on my Italian. :)

[@user-pb3lj3qk8t]

Спасибо огромное за этот прекрасный фильм, который позволяет мне учить и итальянский и английский языки, наслаждаясь видами великолепной природы и архитектуры Италии!

[@MrSupernova111]

This is fantastic!!!! I have been learning Italian for a couple of weeks now and this is a great way to re-enforce many of the things I have already learned plus add some new vocabulary. Love it!!

[@MrSupernova111]

I was wondering why the bills were in Liras since Italy is part of the Eurozone. Turns out that Italy had its own currency called the Lira prior to 1999. This video is old as shit. Still very useful though. lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_lira

[@isabelgrant62]

Amazing way to learn!!! Many, many thanks!!!

[@lorraine.lacarra1991]

I wish i could move there. Seems so relaxing the weather good. If i had to move to a country it be there

[@user-ce3hd7ey9c]

grazie mille!!!!

[@titteryenot4524]

While watching this I had a bit of a eureka moment concerning Italians & their care with appearance … they live in such beautiful towns & cities that they have evolved to appear as smart as their surroundings. In the same way as one rarely sees a beautiful person (in the conventional sense) from, say, Manchester or Detroit or Cumbernauld as these people grow up surrounded by uninspiring architecture & have evolved to present themselves to the world accordingly, in Italy everyone is dapper (aside from a few sartorial rebels who are ostracised by the rest) due to evolution by social selection, as it were. This phenomenon also works, to a slightly lesser extent, in France & Spain; in these countries there is also a strong social pressure to look a certain way in public. In private everyone can do what they want, of course. Just don’t dress like a tramp in Italy if you want to be accepted.

[@Fieldoak]

Love this! Thanks 😊

[@michaelsandilands1331]

It's a very good way of attuning the ear to Italian speech

[@epidemicrochip3033]

I never came across to anyone that dislikes Italians or Italy.

[@antistiolabeo8950]

You should talk to some Italian then. They looooove disliking themselves and their country. That I can tell you.

[@epidemicrochip3033]

@@antistiolabeo8950 I already done that and I still do it. Haven't seen that dislike as you said. Some other nations should dislike themselves but not Italians.

[@gerontodon]

​@@epidemicrochip3033 Is England one of the ones that ought to? If you think it is, remember that you had a global empire first 😅

[@mariopizzaro]

Great video, I'm just starting my journey with the Italian language :)) Grazie mille

[@kyledelcotto4550]

E ora come sta andando il tuo vaggio?

[@tidesox2828]

I’m also curious. Still at it?

[@MrSupernova111]

Me too. I've been learning for about 1 week putting in several hours a day. I understand about 95% of what they are saying here including grammar. About 30 minutes into the video I can say everything they have covered so far from memory. I love it and hope I can be fluent enough to hold a conversation in no more than a couple months.

[@DAN-bc5ev]

Supernova one week?? How are you doing now?

[@TheMerioz]

for some reason it feels really nostalgic even though I never saw the show.

[@gerontodon]

It's probably the narrator's speaking style. These things change subtly even over a decade or two.

[@Moazam512]

Grazie mila

[@giorgiodifrancesco4590]

mille not mila: the second form is used only in composite words like duemila.

[@lifeisnice23]

Great video! By the way, we started to use in Italy the Euros as current money in 2002 along to Lira, not in 1999!

[@giorgiodifrancesco4590]

Invece ti sbagli. Dopo un decennio di preparativi l'euro venne introdotto il 1° gennaio 1999: durante i primi tre anni fu "invisibile", in quanto utilizzato solo a fini contabili e per i pagamenti elettronici.

[@abdurazaksomali5101]

Mi piace imparare la lingue italiana abitavo a bologna grazie mille

[@saranya4924]

I like this VDO😀

[@daniellouis8489]

Great video. Without the Lira there is NO Italy

[@thithuluong8025]

youtube recommended me :)))

[@AlbertoPavanlupastic]

please note we were in year 2001... nowadays a number of things have changed, for example money ... €€€€€€€€, we don't use Nokia cellphones anymore... internet more spread and digital tv in full HD...

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

It bugs me that nobody I've ever heard says "talk Italian." It's always "speak Italian." I would like Italian subtitles so I can "see" the words in my head.

[@lorraine.lacarra1991]

My loveing grandpa and grandma has our roots there so as a kid i listen to them talk. In their. Language Italian but I couldn't pick it up it's because that's what they did all the time and then he spoke English I'm fine with broken English

[@lorraine.lacarra1991]

That's why I'm always interested in

[@lorraine.lacarra1991]

And they were my favorite I love them so much

i love the italian language and im a spaniard

[@notmenotme614]

Is Italian very similar to Spanish? Can you easily understand each other?

[@littlebigjohn69]

@@notmenotme614 as a spaniard there are some words similar but if an italian speaks very fast ill will grasp a few words , in italian every vowel is pronounced in spanish not in spanish or matter of fact either in portuguese if im not mistaken or french. of all the romantic language in italian is the only one every word is spoken.

[@tanhaowei]

wow they were still using lira while the video was made xD

[@MrSupernova111]

I was confused about that too since Italy is part of the Eurozone. Turns out this video is more than 20 years old!! Still very useful though. lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_lira

[@immermood]

Good years when Lira Italiana times.

[@notmenotme614]

I thought paying 24 thousand, just for 3 drinks seemed a bit expensive. Until I heard it was in Lira and not Euro. Lol

[@FioLolo-fi5jy]

got as far as the 1.5 hour mark at least.

[@blossom9565]

Beh, ho detto a Katie (non era la mia intenzione mentire- sorry Katie😊) che me ne sono perso solo uno, ma nella seconda parte me sono perso un altro. Per il Catalano pensavo il Portughese e per il Graeco pensavo a tutto sotto il sole, tranne il Graeco!

Seems like they dont allow. All touble there good.

[@AndrewAzurdia]

24 thousand lire that’s absurd.

[@giorgiodifrancesco4590]

No. It's not absurd. After the war, the lira devalued a lot and Italy never made the "strong lira" (erasing two or three zeros), as other main European countries did.
