[@madsoncosta3818]

I'm a native Portuguese speaker and I find funny how its' easy to understand Italian people speaking and I've never studied Italian before

[@gmad3387]

for romanians is the same ...

[@76alexin]

for mexicans it's very easy too to learn italian. :-)

[@angelaz6287]

same!! But i know spanish ahah yea it's weird that I also understand most, but unfortunately I do not speak it. Ironically my last name is italian. lol

[@Ajco0519]

It's Angela same😳

[@kawaiipanda8892]

To Spanish speakers too!

[@jsphat81]

Italian is a beautiful musical language! I speak Spanish as a native language and also Portuguese so I understood about half of what they said.

[@rdenHotEd]

Italian culture is so wonderful! Please make more vídeos from Italy :)

[@caesar4857]

such a beautiful language!! hope to be fluent in it one day!

[@craigwolke2774]

Thank you! Please make more of these!

[@jadnexTheRnewed]

Finally!!!!!!! Been waiting for an easy Italian video for so long! Grazie

[@ohhitsjulio]

Che bel video! Grazie!! :)

[@ciaraferry2289]

Bad translation of Gesu Bambino - it's the Child Jesus, not Father Christmas! Awesome otherwise, love these videos, thanks!

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

Italian is a sexy language :*

[@ammonal01]

Well that's a beautiful compliment. On behalf of all my fellow countrymen, thank you :'D

[@calebmonoran4729]

I'm not even Italian, nor do I express fluency in the language, yet I was able to understand several words here and there. And I can thank that to my knowledge of Romanian, since I am Romanian. That kind of helped with some of the words (even tho I have learned a few Italian words). The phonetics sound familiar, because they're really close with Romanian's, so that was cool. Also, my partial fluency in Spanish and French helped out too. Can't wait till I learn this language in depth.

[@David2751]

Fantastico! Ho aspettato tanto per questo video, voglio più per favore :)!

[@Ajco0519]

David yo tambien

[@josegonzalez6231]

[@SammyBR99]

That guy knows both French and Italian very well, but I think he is a bit better in French.

[@geek_programmer8379]

Bueno video come sempre :)

[@TrophyJourney]

Thank you so much for this. I'd love to see more of those, Italian is too great a language to have only two videos of it here, haha.

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

We are doing videos up until someone who is italian wants to make more of these. But still, we'll make some new ones, we have two videos to cut and we'll try to release them every two weeks.

[@leverbeserepentir7889]

I adore this language

[@denshsh3978]

Love these videos, tutti amano il gelato 💗

[@januszhamerski6890]

thank you Tony and Bea! Thank to your videos I learn something about European culture from the "romanistic" side :D It's wonderful.

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

Thank you Janusz! ^_^

[@mariateresapaolicelli8456]

[@vidashahrokhi1398]

Benissimo

[@VideoMagenta]

Interesante, para practicar el idioma italiano, no lo hablo pero entendí bastante. Saludos desde México.

[@jorgeochoaleon]

At last.... plz post more videos!!

[@Juniorfoxnetdude]

Funny how I was able to understand 80% of what was said in this video, even though I have never studied Italian in my whole life. I can speak Portuguese, French and Spanish though, so I guess that explains it. Still freaking amazing. Now I wanna learn how to speak it!!

[@hhattonaom9729]

You should. All of those languages you speak come from Italian anyways!!

[@drgeraldocostaassessoriaes5026]

Hey, Junior! I am studying English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. I am Brazilian too. Fell welcome to contact and practic these languages. So I`ve got intermidiate level. skype: Uncle Gerry Wsapp: 074 044 235 81

[@inessan8311]

Harrison Hatton They come from Latin, not Italian! Although Italian and Latin are quite similar it's different.

[@fizz1580]

@@inessan8311 True. English, Italian etc all come from Latin.

[@loeraisso1059]

Viendo estos videos del canal mientras práctico mi inglés,, Coreano Japonés italiano

[@flaze3]

Mi è piaciuto assai il video e sono contento che alla fine c'è un secondo episodio. Onestamente me ne fischio se sono italiani "veri" o no. Mi sembra che abbiano un ottimo italiano e al fin dei conti è l'unica cosa che importa.

[@victorbrown3570]

I love these, but it's been some time now that we only have 1,2 and 3. When are more coming. I love these videos and need them. Please, give us more. Other languages I'm using in this format, easy....., have a lot more videos. What's happening with theItalian and Portuguese episodes?

[@emilehuang1581]

Wow, the host of Super Easy French also speak Italian.😮 Awesome. 👍

[@halfthefiber]

He lives in Nice, which borders Italy.

[@Ginger95ish]

plus de vidéos. s'il vous plaît! !!!!

[@erick6101]

Sou nativo de português entendi tudo 😃

[@FreakishG]

Ciao ragazzi, io seguo spesso le vostre lezioni in altre lingue, però su questo video devo farvi delle precisazioni. Trovo molto bello che, nonostante non siate italiani, abbiate provato a fare un video sul posto, intervistando italiani madrelingua, però si dice: che cosa ne pensa DEL Natale? Perchè Natale in italiano è anche un nome proprio di persona. E poi: A Lei, che cosa piace della cucina italiana..? senza ripere "le", oppure semplicemente: Che cosa le piace della...? perchè è scorretto ripetere due volte il pronome personale. Scusate se ho fatto la guastafeste, ma qui impariamo tutti :)

[@tonygrossi1618]

These interviewers are phony they barely can speak real italian

[@mathieumgraphiste8263]

Natale è diverse in Frecese, supparotutto la cibo. Penso que la Natale è un buon tradizione per la familia :)

[@pauloflores637]

I'm brazilian and I just realized, it look like pretty much portuguese, even more than spanish.

[@inactive_account_]

My first language is English and I understood 90% of this whole video

[@S-series1977]

Wow 😮😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ThistleField506]

Wtf I speak spanish and portuguese and understood the whole video without knowing anything about italian but "bambino" LOL

[@akiraiton4331]

bambino = child bambini = children kkk lol

[@seer1623]

That’s because Spanish is to Italian like Irish is to English. Same language family.

[@ye7064]

Well not exactly you must you know so something but I got to say you can't understand everyething grammar is different and some word roots change and iniduvial words are different too so I don't understand

[@vinialvesx]

I tought that guy was french but here he is hahaha

[@poopmcscoopface]

more italian please

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

Coming soon enough! ^^

[@David2751]

Easy French _ Anthony Please! Maybe they can be a bit longer?

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

Yes sure! :) It will be a bit longer but it truly depends on the content. The next one will be bigger.

[@ginaboetschi1507]

Isn't this the guy of easy french?

[@jeffmc6921]

How many languages does he speak?

[@giovannicoletta]

non si dice pensa di natale ma pensa del natale. la parola " colla" non equivale a "con la". nel video c'è anche questo errore.

[@ladypatri]

certo, se i sottotitoli fossero facoltativi, sarebbe interessante usare questi video durante le nostre lezioni

[@NatashaBass22]

Allora, mi piace natale per festeggiare com la famiglia, penso que è una tradizione, ci sono molte cose buone!

Yes, you're right

[@76alexin]

yes. it's him

[@ogulcanozcan1147]

Is this guy from France or Italy?

[@gurvindersingh8504]

Good 22

[@papatya8948]

mi piace molto

[@inessan8311]

Natale è per Gèsu.

[@mattinuk]

You translated "Gesù bambino" as "Father Christmas"...? Are you embarrassed by someone's religion and culture??

[@emmarasera6791]

+mattinuk grazie :')

[@cretaceoussteve3527]

I miei pensamenti exactamente. Pero, credo che l'hanno tradotto cosí semplicemente per essere compreso dalle persone chi parlano l'inglese. Ma sono d'accordo; traduca la lingua, non la cultura. Ancora apprezzo questa canale molto.

[@josegonzalez6231]

isn't that like baby jesus?

[@CarlosJSolorzano]

mattinuk I would like to explain that Gesù Bambino is a different character of the Christmas in countries with a strong Latin background. In Spanish we say “ Niño Jesús “ who is the same “Gesù Bambino” this name for Jesús Christ has to do with the fact that Jesus was born and therefore at that time he was a baby. We celebrate “ Jesus the Baby” . Christmas celebrates the birth of “Gesù Bambino” who later becomes Jesus Christ.

Italian is beautiful but french is more!!

[@stripedsweater520]

How did Tony and Bea learn italian???? 0__o

[@halfthefiber]

They live (or have lived) in Nice, a French city which is next to Italy. They probably learned both languages growing up.

[@MrSiomys]

I was so surprised too!!! OMG

[@pedrococo6397]

Y de repente comentario en español aparece..... !!!!!!!! Italiano > inglese :P

[@ladrodiavocado]

Ma quando mai qui in Italia i doni di Natale li portano Gesù Bambino o Santa Lucia 😂

[@patrick-sprachenmusikstudi5351]

1:23 specialtà?

[@edogana]

Santa Lucia porta doni in molte parti del nord Italia non solo Bergamo

[@gerardoaguilar3402]

Non riesco a capire la differenza tra "magari" e "forse"

[@mysticalcatnip221]

Gesù bambino

[@JV-eh3lh]

che cosa pensa DEL Natale* non "di" Natale.

[@strangedivine]

As a native French speaker this was surprisingly easy to understand!

[@geo98v66]

Del Natale (nein DI Natale)

[@lmatt88]

Nice has an Italian speaking side?

[@halfthefiber]

No, but it is close to Italy.

[@alanluis3166]

I dolci ? Dei dolci ? Panettoni, pandoro, torroni...soprattutto

[@Gstyle-eg9vg]

Panettone...molto semplice?!!??

[@madymacalou8988]

pasta

[@rodolfolg8565]

Che cosa pensi del natale? No che cosa pensi di natale mi sa chi intervista dovrebbe approfondire la conoscenza della nostra lingua..

[@Damayn]

Quite a late upload don't you think?

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

Yes indeed! ^^ Almost two years. But those videos are brand you and is made by the Easy French team, here is why it took so long, because there was no one to make those videos before.

[@francoisjohannson1458]

En Alemana di natale noi mangiamo oca al forno

[@pukkolo21]

sorry but this italian is a little big wrong , I love this channel but if you want to teach a lenguage you have to do it in the right way....

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

Hi Jessica! Tell me what you think is wrong here, nothing is more wrong than with the Easy French videos. We're not here in class, the italian that's "taught" here is the italian that people speak in the streets. Anyway, it's the first video we've made for Easy Italian, if you want to help us improve, we take all tips! = )

[@pukkolo21]

Easy French _ Anthony ok sure :) First : benvenuti because you say -- ciao a tutti .. that is "hi everybody :) " so we need a-- " benvenuti " and not -benvenuto- cause it is plural :) . Now when you say : " oggi andiamo a chiedere alla gente cosa pensa di natale" : you can say that but no one use this form in Italy, it is very uncommon. This form of the prhase it is good for spanish : vamos a preguntar (we are going to ask ) but in italian is better to use, -----oggi chiederemo --, as a future :) Di natale, not totally right, it is del Natale :) - Cosa lei pensa di Natale :almost totally right but in the wrong order, as formal you have to say : " Cosa ne(ne in this case is like a link to the subject Xmas) pensa lei del natale :) " P.s dont get me wrong, i'm totally addicted to your channel and I'm learning a LOT watching your videos

[@halfthefiber]

I don't completely agree that you have to do it the 'right way.' Yes, if there are glaring mistakes then they should be pointed out and corrected, but as Anthony said, we are not in a classroom here. In a normal conversation, we are more willing to forgive a minute error here and there. To dismiss the breadth of good work that the channel has done on account of a few errors (and they are mistakes that tend to be forgivable for the most part) is a little too much.

[@pukkolo21]

well this is the right way for any italian :) i'm not a teacher so I won't explain to you all the grammar rules BUT if you want to learn a lenguage you have to do it correctly that's all ;)

[@halfthefiber]

jessica Fabr Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to undermine or insult the tips you've given because they certainly are very helpful. The best person to correct something is definitely one who speaks it natively, and that's you.

[@catwetterau8273]

Is any one else American in the comments?

[@josephine2202]

Has anyone noticed that Italians pause a lot when they speak, almost as if they don't know what to say?

[@c.n.9579]

yes because most italians don't know anything. But also because, I guess, they are istructed by the interviewer to speak slowly. In reality they don't speak so slow!

[@3rdeye941]

LEI is formal for woman and LUI is for man right??

[@halfthefiber]

First part is incorrect, lei is for woman, Lei (note the capitalization) is formal for either gender. Although lui is indeed for a man.

[@CamiiGianna]

I'm Italian and I can say these interviewers are not Italian! Why don't you change them and get real Italians? I love your videos but... They are not native speakers and they make mistakes! It's not good for the ones who want to improve!

[@lilacinsd]

Yes, but other speakers have already pointed out the errors. I think they have taken it upon themselves to make the videos so nobody can "change" them 🙂

[@shinji5217]

Gesù bambino is little jesus

[@genxer6928]

Gesù della Bibbia Sacra Santa Parla Santa Di Di e Dio Omnipotente unico vero YAH e la Salvezza YAHSHUA 🙏👑♥️ Hail YAH !..HalleluYAH! mai eccetera! ... Gesù soltanto ti può salvare

[@cst256]

Those damn Italian words looks like French.

[@Moonpie226]

lingue neolatine ;)

[@francoisjohannson1458]

por demonios, esta lingua mediteranea

[@RiccardoLatini]

The gifts in Italy are brought by Santa Claus, not by Jesus! And also the letters are wrote for Santa... the religion today in Italy it's not the base of Christmas

[@christopherconder3303]

Be that the case, it's not what those interviewed said! A rather selective translation.

[@gamemaker1234]

la mia famiglia siamo musulmani cosi non festeggio mai il natale. :-(.

Gèsu bambino = Father Christmas? Just... why not just say baby Jesus?

[@Ivasavi3]

Gesù Bambino is not Father Christmas! Gesù bambino is Baby Jesus!!!

[@JustLightining]

They aren't real Italians! The interviewers, i mean...

[@IIIZHENEKIII]

Well it doesn't matter they making good video for us

[@JudgeHill]

***** well they appear to have translated "gesu bambino" as Father Christmas in the subtitles, so apparently it matters a great deal!

[@halfthefiber]

Who cares? Do they speak it well? (They do.) Are they putting in great effort to produce this video? (They are.) These are more than enough reasons to like this video. The fact that they aren't Italian is irrelevant.

[@YIIMM]

JudgeHill83 Which actually isn't an incorrect interpretation; some of the interviewed say "Babbo Natale" and some say "Gesù bambino". The important thing here is that these are figures that bring presents and the easiest way to convey this sense in subtitles is to put "Father Christmas / Santa Claus". Subtitling is really more about the gist rather than a word-for-word translation.

[@easyfrench_anthony6803]

JudgeHill83 Hi! :) I know what "Gesù bambino" means, it's just that I found it more logical to put "father Christmas" here. Don't believe we do everything without checking the translation at least twice, so, putting "father christmas" is here a choice, backed up by wordreference and of,course other sources (www.wordreference.com/iten/gesu%20bambino).

[@emmarasera6791]

Where did you find these guys who interview? They have a horrible pronunciation, awful for a language course. :')

[@6beforebreakfast]

they are italians on the street... your language course might just be horrible for actually learning the language (sorry to say!)

[@altf4218]

Sarah Swiderski he meant that the interviewers' pronunciation and grammar was off.

[@raffaeleirlanda6966]

To mistake Gesù Bambino ("Child Jesus") who brings Christmas gifts night of December 25 for italian kids, with a generic "Father Chistmas", is the worst translation you could made, and it is an offence first to the Italian Culture about XMas in its essence, as long as it resisted to a drift into modern merchandise pagan worship of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and it is also an offence to the viewers who perceive a false image of the Italian Culture itself.
