How I Learned Italian in 7 Days (ft. Nathaniel Drew)

In this video, I used Nathaniel Drew's 4 stage language learning strategy to help me learn Italian (my families native language) in 7 days with the goal of having a conversation with my Nonna.
I have zero experience with languages and have always thought it would be too hard, too time-consuming and I was too old to even try. But when you switch your mindset from a fixed one (where you avoid challenges and believe you aren't good/smart enough) to a growth mindset (welcome's challenges, believes failure is another opportunity to grow, anything is possible with effort), you would be amazed what you can achieve.

Che mondo sarebbe senza le nonne! 😃One of the biggest difficulties I have as an Italian teacher is convincing my foreign students to write by hand to help memorize words, rules and concepts. Most of them flatly refuse 😅 I agree with the association of words with images, sounds and even situations for a beginner. Bel video!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Haha agreed! Hmm yeh I'm not surprised, because it is way more tedious, however I think writing by hand definitely ingrains the words into ytheour brain much more efficiently! Thanks so much for watching the video!!

[@lennypappano7972]

Aaron, your Italian was great... but plating un-sauced pasta, then ladling some sauce on the top -- will get you thrown out of the country when you go to Italy. ;)

Questo video é fantastico e no capisco perche no ha piu visualizzazioni!

[@tuanhoanganh5405]

Great, i’m seftaugh English. Tks you

[@lor7515]

About movements they are mainly stereotypes, for the rest, good job. Buona gioranta da un ragazzo Italiano.

[@SusanMcBrayer]

Scusi, ancora studi? Sto imparando la lingua ma e' difficile.

[@phillipbaruffi]

This is fantastic mate, I am going to be starting on the Italian journey again now!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

That’s awesome to hear mate!! Let me know how you go!

[@gpiras26]

Ora devi parlare italiano con me 😬

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Siiii!!! By next year I will hopefully be fluent, so I’ll come and stay with you in Italy 😘😘

[@liambarnes8998]

Possiamo parlare insième l'anno prossimo in Italia!

Hey Aaron! It's great to meet someone else in this niche bro. So far I've discovered 18 of us creators in this niche! I like the skill you chose, Italian is not an easy one but well done I would say! I'm subbing and supporting everyone in this niche spreading the love (I think that's what it should be about since it's such a small niche) so can't wait to see more of your content bro! Keep 'em coming 🌎🔥⚡

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Hey man!! Thanks so much for reaching out and watching the vids! What are some of the other creators in the skill learning niche? And I’ll check your stuff out as well 🔥

[@SusanMcBrayer]

Ancora studio?

[@GypsysGalore]

Very impressive for one week! Everyone better subscribe for Nonna!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thanks mate!! Hahah agreeed, surely Nonna deserves it right? 😂

[@theciav]

This is what it’s all about, amazing video!! I think I need to learn Italian too haha. Are you going to keep learning ?

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thanks so much Tony! Yess you should give it a go, it’s so fun to learn! Sure am, goal is to be fluent by middle of next year, so got my learning set out for me 😅

[@theciav]

@@AaronBarnesYT do you think you need someone to practice with? Or could do it on your own ?

[@AaronBarnesYT]

@@theciav I think it definitely helps to have someone to practice with, but also doable by yourself! If you start learning, let me know and we can have a chat!

[@Parth1606]

learning a whole new language in 7 days is seriously impressive! wow!!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Haha thanks mate! Can’t say I’m fluent yet…that’ll take a bit longer 😜😂

[@Parth1606]

@@AaronBarnesYT still but what u did was awesome

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thank you mate!!

[@JV-km9xk]

Nice video man. My 1st month wasn't as good as yours. Crazy to think people are able to be impromtu conversational with only 7 weeks of studying their first language. Some translations were bit off but really good for a beginner. Che armadillo, Aaron.

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thank you mate!! Haha yeh tbh 7 days was no where near enough to be able to have a great conversation, but definitely a start! Thanks for watching!!

[@josefranciscochavez5787]

Great video

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thanks so much!

[@vanshjain7531]

I was trying to learn Arabic but failed hilariously. Maybe after this video i may gain some progress 👍

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Good on you for giving it a go though! Let me know how you go if you do start learning again!

[@woutereuverman]

Hey Aaron, my love for italy is so immens that I wanted to learn italian. So I also stumped upon the video from Nathanial and I want to start right away. Though i see so many different lists of the most used italian words that I am lost, which one should I choose? And when I am done with those words how can I start with making sentences? Love your video’s your killing it!

[@thewayithappens469]

good job!!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thanks Lonna!!

[@rbmfestiveflips1131]

your videos are suuuper underrated :) i hope you become famous on youtube 😃

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thank you so much!! Glad you’re enjoying them 😁😁

[@SeeShots]

Well done Aaron. Very impressed and entertaining to watch too.

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thank you my man! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@BrandonShi]

Aaron! Here from creatornow! Loved your video spotlight yesterday. Encouraged me to take a deep dive into what you do. Love it man! I'm actually studying in Florence for study-abroad in college next semester, and got to get some Italian under my belt! This is awesome!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Mate!! Thanks so much dude! Ooo Florence is an incredible city, jealous you get to live there! Yeh I’m sure you’ll pick up Italian quickly, once you understand the grammar it becomes a lot easier, and speaking it everyday in the city will help so much! Good luck for your trip!

[@BrandonShi]

@@AaronBarnesYT of course aaron! You on IG?!

[@AaronBarnesYT]

@@BrandonShi sure am man! Follow me on aaronb_tv 🔥

[@endyranaudo]

I follow your channel, I love it, but I've noticed that this is the second time you are doing a video full of cliches about Italians. I personally don't find them nice and a bit disrespectful. Btw, you made very good improvements, your grandma is a great teacher.

[@AaronBarnesYT]

My sincere apologies Endy! It was never meant with any disrespect. It will be the last time I incorporate the character.

[@theciav]

Oh I’m Italian and I thought it was endearing haha maybe I’m just old.

[@enzogorlami2005]

Che stai dicendo? Non c'è un problema con questo video, è la verità.. siamo così. Keep it up

[@aydinsayar384]

Duuuuude. Amazing

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Thanks bro!!

[@cinziaboi9265]

I absolutely loved this!! Looking forward to speak italian if we're ever in Sardinia at the same time

[@AaronBarnesYT]

Yesssss I’m currently getting tutoring and will hopefully in be Sardinia this summer!! Look forward to seeing you then!

[@elbotshimpaka3919]

This makes me want to learn something new.

[@AaronBarnesYT]

You should! What would be something you’d want to learn?

[@elbotshimpaka3919]

@@AaronBarnesYT I would love to learn how to play soccer ,because I am very bad at it.
