[@steveviola8178]

Ho iniziato nell'agosto di quest'anni. Cerco di dedicarci almeno un ora ogni giorno. Comincio di solito alle due o alle tre. Non e stato facile. Avevo bisogno di google traduttore per scriverlo in italiano. Your videos are WONDERFUL!

With just 3 weeks until we head to Italy it is time to brush upon my Italian. Your lessons are great, easy to understand, repeat and phrases we need to know. I am so glad I found your channel.

[@ManthosMattheouNYTA]

I think a great teacher is someone who explains to you the logic behind the use of certain words or phrases instead of just telling you what the words and phrases mean. This way a student is given the opportunity to truly learn how a language functions in actual usage. The way you teach is truly exemplary.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

This is exactly what I also believe, Manthos, and always strive to do the best I can in this regard! ❤

Buongiorno Valentina. Grazie tante per la lezione. Lei e una professoressa eccellente. Sono in pensione adesso e ho deciso di imparare italiano. Ho studiato da un anno e provo studiare tre volte settimana. Di solito imparo in pomeriggio e qualche volta bevo un bel bicchiere di vino mentre studio! 🙂

Bravissima, Maria! Ed un bicchiere di vino piace a molti miei studenti per aiutare nello studio 😄

[@nicolasnone3088]

Video molto utile. Not sure if it will help anyone else but my tutor suggested to me, if I can substitute "occasion" I need to use volta.

[@jaelexlinsey]

An easier way to remember it is, if you think of "duration" as length of time, the second letter is 'e' and the second letter in "tempo" is also 'e'. So "tempo" refers to length of time. Both have an 'e' as their second letter. Or, for the more musically-minded, where "tempo" refers to the speed at which a song is played. So that affects the duration of the song.

[@frankuwakwe1158]

C'era una volta una strada Un buon vento mi portò laggiù I learned that phrase from the beautiful song by Gigliola Cinquetti , "Quelli erano i giorni"

Thank you Valentina this was very helpful! Coulisse you also explain when to use "adesso or ora"?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

They are exactly the same! Both mean "now"

[@absshawonkhan61]

I like you claas, thanks

[@maciek8159]

Grazie mille! This is off topic but don’t adjectives usually go after the noun? If I was to say “È una cattedrale nuova” is that corretto? Or does nuova go before cattedrale? I’m a little confused on that and the word vecchia because I heard with vecchia it goes before the noun. Any help would be very appreciated!

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Yes, as I explain in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5bVqqZ_a66pn5Y) adjectives usually go AFTER the noun in Italian. There are exception though. In same cases, the adjective might be placed before for emphasis. So "è una cattedrale nuova" is correct.

It would havr been useful if you had added in the week/ in the month when you are talking about volta.

[@joy5816]

How do we learn to use the different genders of words? When I practice I usually guess which one is used

The actor John Travolta, would his last name translate "between time" ?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

[@robertknull456]

Vado due volte in palestra ogni settimana. Passo un'ora ogni volta.

[@hspina]

Italian, like Spanish has 3 different words for "TIME" I.E. Tempo (Tiempo), Volta (Vez pl Veces) Ora (hora), learning languages makes me reach the conclusion that English is the less evolved of the three.

[@denasutera]

The Sentence “Quanto tempo ci vuole” you state is “ how much time does it take”. Yet it is actually “how much time do you WANT? Vuole is: want, right? This is what confuses me as I attempt to learn Italian. You’re an amazing teacher. Please help understand why the “exact translation of the words in a sentence” is not always provided in Italian lessons/apps.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Great question, Dena! It does look like "volere" but it's actually "volerCI". That's what we call a "pronominal verb" in Italian, which is a complex way of saying a verb + a pronoun. Anyway, that addition changes the meaning of the verb, which is not "to want" (volere) but "to take (as in taking time)" (volerci). Pronominal verbs ARE really confusing and pretty advanced, so do not feel discouraged! 😉

[@Javaman92]

Let's face it, we all know that comments help your channel. We get it. At least I get it. Something struck my curiosity. In da quanto tempo studi l'italiano we use the l in front of italiano. Which I think of as the Italian. But for the rest we don't. Why is that?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Grazie Javaman! Actually, we use articles almost all the time in Italian, so we also say "the Italian" instead that just "Italian" as you would in English. I talk more about this very grammar point in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPFeIN9rd91bZY

[@denasutera]

Again, Quanto tempo passi in palestra? But the word :passi” is a noun that means steps. Literally : How much time steps in gym. What???? LOl confusing

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

I know, Dena! That's because the same word can be both a verb (passare= to pass, to spend) and a noun (passo = step). This happens even in English, e.g. with the verb "walk", the same word can also be used as a noun (a walk). Hope this helps!

[@KuukilabKuuki-rw7my]

An alternative : use "trascorri" instead of "passi"

[@cats000]

Time, time, time😊 L'ora e' il sette di la mattina. Ha molti tempo che ho mangiato. Tutti volte che sveglio ho fame. Correctto?

[@KuukilabKuuki-rw7my]

Not exactly:) L'ora è: le sette di mattina. E' da molto tempo che ho mangiato. Tutte le volte che mi sveglio ho fame
