I just realized I didn't know Tia's name until now. Thank you for telling us!

Have things changed some with the new conservative Prime Minister? I've been considering moving to Genoa or Tuscany. Homophobia is bad in the USA and I want to move abroad. I chose Italy because I'm passionate about opera. Things used to be more relaxed here, but Trump and the extremely conservative MAGA politicians are really attacking us. Writing legislation and laws to remove our rights and protections. They want civil union and same sex marriage bans nationwide in addition to abortion bans and bans on transgender care!

I live in the U.S, Italian American and wear my makeup like the Italian look

I find your English very easy to understand, I don’t know if you speak this way on purpose or it’s just your natural way. I use to watch your video also for this reason. I think they are very accessible 😊

Rome is the best city in the world 🌎 better then New York it’s place of birth of western civilization ❤

Let me fix your story. They are very good at it they're not going to tell you. Typically a long battle learned that he was part of the Mafia. In America most of them cheats they think it's stole because that's all they've seen church especially if they're really straight from Italy

Yes. Having a coffee together with someone else is a good way to socialise😊

Tutto quello che hai detto e' verissimo..io sono straniera anche se cresciuta qua e bianca ma il razzismo c'e' soprattutto per chi viene da paesi poveri quindi viene per lavorare mentre sugli italiani neri sono d'accordo ma dico anche che le cose negli ultimi 30 anni sono cambiate tantissimo nel senso che sono migliorate .. alla fine ragazzi è un paese che ha a che fare con l'migrazione solo da 30 max 40 anni e la loro percezione del diverso e ' gia molto migliorata direi è anche onesto dire che ci vuole cmq il suo tempo

Girl this is spot on. I lived in italy for four years and have been such on he fence if my italian hudband and i should return to italy to raise our children. Such an honest pure explanation. Thank you.

Can you share your broker’s contact?

I’m Moroccan, born and raised in Italy so my mother tongues are Arabic and Italian, I moved to Belgium 13 years ago and I had to learn French and Dutch, I have a master degree in translation English and Spanish and I’m learning Portuguese for fun hahaha

Everything you said about Italian men ( in general) is true. I'm shy but my Italian man is slowly but surely pulling me out of my shell. Italian men make you feel like a real woman. The good ones are real men and once you have one, you will NEVER want to let him go!!!! Thank you Lord!!!❤🇮🇹

Qui c'è un conflitto di interesse grosso come una casa: ha un portale per persone "razzializzate" e ora l'Italia diventa un paese razzista dove si rischia la vita, cosa che in USA non succedeva. Statistiche alla mano, l'Italia è un paese con un tasso di omicidi di varie volte inferiore agli USA, e omicidi a sfondo razziale ancora più rari. Anzi, le persone immigrate dal Nordafrica e Nigeria in particolare, compiono in media 8 volte di più di crimini violenti rispetto agli italiani. Tia now has a website/Project that support people agianst racism and suddenly Italy has become a racist country. Can I call this conflict of interest or just ingratitude for the country she lives? I'm sad to say that this video is very racist: against white people first, and it discriminates old people too.

stai facendo un sacco di confusione, mammone non è il figlio (o i figli) maschio che vive a casa con la mamma, può benissimo vivere lontano dalla mamma ed essere mammone; si dice mammone quel figlio maschio che ha una mamma iperprotettiva, iperstressante, iperstocazzo, e che finisce per vedere nella mamma una specie di dea in terra capace di fare tutte le cose meglio delle altre donne, soprattutto. quindi mammone non c'entra una sega con l'essere figli maschi che vivono in casa; uno può vivere in casa coi suoi semplicemente perché non trova lavoro o ne trova uno precario, o per mille altri motivi, e non per questo è un mammone. Tia fai dei video molto superficiali, ce n'è uno sulla famiglia che mi ha fatto rizzare i peli sulla schiena, quando dici che Gli anni di piombo iniziano nel 1968. Ma manco per il cazzo; gli anni di piombo hanno i loro prodromi nel 1969, con Pizza Fontana (e non nel 1968, che è l'anno delle Contestazioni studentesche, parente stretto del Maggio francese) ed esplodono ufficialmente con questo nome con gli anni Settanta e le Brigate Rosse ecc. Sii meno superficiale. Spesso dici bojate.

Can you pleaseeeeeeeeeee do videos on Yoruba 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

è fantastico vedere come questa tipa più viva in italia e meno ne capisca. il caso dello humor italiano è eccezionale, dal momento che non ha la minima idea di cosa parla. parla. ecco. teorizza. filosofeggia. cervelloneggia. ammazza e quanto parla e teorizza. a cazzo, perlopiù.

I am also into buying an apartment in Milan. What I have been experiencing is something that I could have never imagined. There's an apartment advertised as 50sqm. I go visit it and realize the apartment is much-much smaller in reality. I ask the real estate agent how many sqm is this and he says 50sqm. :D whereas it is clearly not, you can see that there is not even enough place for a fridge.. What is this phenomenon? I was just unlucky to find this 4 out of 5 times or is it kinda the norma?

Hi Tia! I know what you're talking about when you say youruba is a tonal language, as I've learned mandarin chinese for many years and one of the most difficult parts of it (if not THE most difficult part) was getting tones into my head as an italian native speaker. I started learning it when I was 20, so not that old but not even super young, but I'd say learning languages in your 20s is still quite easy. Especially cause I could focus on that completely since I studied it in university! I'd like to share with you something a linguistics professor told us on our first year: there's no "difficult" or "easy" language, there's only languages that are closer or further from us. It's interesting to note how differences and similarities are heavily linked to geographic distance, hence to language development! As for the languages i have learned, I'm not sure if the most difficult language i ever got to learn was chinese or japanese, cause each of them has some things that are easier and some that are more difficult to me. That's what's interesting about languages! Thanks for this video, i didn't know yoruba and it's always fascinating to find out more about languages. Xo

The Italians have found themselves in conflict with the FBI due to their actions. Additionally, they are also engaged in dealings with union bosses, waste management, and collections. Italians excel in business transactions, however, when it comes to pursuing advanced education, unless it is related to illegal activities, Italians are not as successful. It is a common belief that an Italian individual's head will burst if they do not apply a sufficient amount of grease on it. I enjoy incorporating sounds like eee, ooo, and others into my speech, a style known as Italianese. Italians are commonly known to be Catholic and often engage in daily confession, despite their involvement in various sinful activities in private. Italians have a preference for traveling by lower class cruise ships, particularly when visiting countries along the East Coast. They tend to avoid other modes of transportation and have a strong preference for sea travel. Italians are often recognized for their preference for wearing suits or Adidas jogging gear at all times, with the exception of gloves. Gloves are considered essential for certain activities as Italians are particular about not leaving fingerprints, especially during their Italian activities. Many people are unaware that they are naturally born to communicate more with their hands than their words, especially in sign language. Italians, in particular, struggle to communicate when their hands are restrained, as they heavily rely on hand gestures for expression. Italians are also known for their preference for classic cars from the 1950s and 1960s. They enjoy the nostalgic feeling of being transported back in time, reminiscent of a scene from a Back to the Future movie. Italians insist on having a jukebox in any restaurant they visit, as they believe it is essential for their dining experience. Additionally, Italians appreciate the ambiance of a grand piano being played in the background while they enjoy their meal.

The most important wasn't mentioned... the auction started at 60k but how much did you end up paying for the apartment without all the additional costs? Auction apartments are in need of complete renovation, that's why they're cheaper.

What's your third language?

I’m Mexican and moved to the US when I was 2 so I grew up speaking Spanish and learning English at school! I got the opportunity to study abroad in The Netherlands (dont recommend they are really racist outside of the northern cities, (I was in Maastricht 🤢)) ANYWAYS I got to make some Romanian friends and bonded with them and I would speak in Mexican Spanish and theyd respond in Romanian 😂. So yeah I’m learning Romanian now and self taught myself Brazilian Portuguese since its so similar to Spanish lol. I also aspire to live in Japan one day and travel the world so my top languages to learn now are Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic, Russian, and I also want to learn Yoruba since my best friend is half Nigerian 😊. Please make more Yoruba videos !! Tonal languages are DEF the hardest ones to learn 😅.

I wish you all the best in life 😊

Thank you for this aburo 🤣🤣. O se gan ni👍🏾👏🏾😘

We love our queens❤❤

Tia in Yoruba is loading!!!!!! Also, hair is *chefs kiss*

Was watching your most current posting and saw this video as well. Makes me miss Italy so much!!!

No audio

Hi Tia, native Italian here 🇮🇹 my second language is English, I learned a bit of French during middle school and last summer at the “old” age of 26 I’ve started learning Japanese as a self-taught (at least for now). Plus I did Liceo Classico so idk if ancient Greek and Latin count 😅 I knew Yoruba was tonal like Chinese but everything else is new-very interesting indeed, I love learning about other languages! If I could, I’d go back to uni just to take a language degree 😊 When you spoke about age, I thought about Japanese and how it has the same differentiation between older and younger brother/sister, despite also having a neutral word for siblings. From what I’m seeing, age seems to be a big deal in Japanese too: in certain contexts you need to switch register completely even with someone a few years older than you. Having seen quite a few languages during my journey, I can say this: - hardest things for me in studying English were the pronunciation, irregular verbs/plurals, and phrasal verbs (the first time you come across: get in, get out, get up, get on, etc it can be quite intimidating!) - hardest thing about French was the pronunciation; grammatically it’s very close to Italian to the point that I can understand the meaning of a text with only a few vocabulary search. But the pronunciation… 😬 - hardest thing about Japanese for now I’d say is having to completely switch language frameworks from an indo-european one to something totally different. Verbs and adjectives acting as verbs are by now the hardest topic to get a hold of, together with counters (because different categories of objects have different kanjis/words that must always go with them and identify which category they belong to, so for example you may never say “3 pens” but will have to say 3 + pens + the counter for long and thin objects. Madness to me!). Also the fact kanjis have different pronunciations that change depending on how they’re paired in a way that sometimes (to me) don’t make sense 😅 Very interesting video! Good luck with your learning journey

purely based on your description, I notice a lot of similarities with many Asian languages, such as tones, addressing people based on how young/old they are, non-conjugated verbs, genderless words... so that's quite interesting!

Learning a non indo european language is always interesting!

Tia how are you always SO BEATIFUL?????

English, Italian, yoruba ...and? I'm missing a language...🤔

I love studying languages but tonal languages are so hard for me. I'm a native Italian speaker and found learning English very easy once I had the motivation to learn it (to play videogames and read fanfiction lol). I also studied Japanese and that was definitely harder because of all the differences in the grammar, while speaking it was easy since the phonetics are almost the same as Italian. But I was also very motivated and went on to be advanced level during my uni years. Then I studied Chinese, and while I loooooved it, the tones just made it impossible for me to make significant progress past the basics. I always think about giving it another try, but man did those tones give ptsd 😅 At the end of the day whether a language is easy to learn or not depends a lot on the single person and what their native language is, but English in general *is* an easy language to learn with its simple and flexible grammar. Like if you try researching what are the most difficult languages to learn you will never find English in these lists, you'll find Hungarian, Finnish, Polish, Mandarin, Vietnamese. English is just not on that level and that's neither a good or bad thing, it just is. If English was that hard to learn you can also bet it would have never managed to become the lingua franca of the world 😜

Hi Tia! Nigerian here! I could learn Italian as a student, while I was in Milan - it's a lovely language and I somehow find the pronunciation close to many sounds of our own languages. Keep it up! 😊❤️🙌🏾

Amazing!!! OMG at 1:42 I can't hear any difference btw the tones the Yoruba speaker is showing "oko, husband...", Yoruba seems such a hard language to learn! Don't give up! Im struggling myself with Chinese tones!!! All my support is with you!!!

complementi e buona fortuna con il tuo apprendimento! Ma non dire "a 28 anni" come se fossi troppo vecchia per imparare una nuova lingua, assolutamente non è così. Guarda qualche video di Steve Kaufmann :)

Oko mi “ My husband ! That’s a beautiful name for Enrico.

This is so interesting. I think we need to do: * IGBO & YORUBA language challenge . * NIGERIAN & AMERICAN ENGLISH Challenge.

I guess Nigeria is the African nation with the biggest aerospatial industry in Africa, along with Egypt I guess.

Is Chinese really so influent in African economy as it is said today, in your enterpreneurial experience?

I'm American. I live in France and speak French. I'm in my 50s and have taken on learning a third language Italian. I love it but I do find it a lot harder than French. I've been learning with a private teacher since November 2023. I hope to have a level A2 when I take my exist evaluation test. I also used to lic in Cairo for 3,5 years in my 30s. Loved learning Egyptian Arabic and found it to a lot of fun. I could speak to people in shops. Once I learn Italian better I think I may want to learn Arabic.

Doesn't it sound a bit misandrist that husband, car and hoe are almost the same word? 😄

Well done! Never stop learning new stuff! 👍

Hey Tia. My father is Yoruba, and Cameroonian mum. I’m British woman who has known Italian language for a longtime and will be visiting Milan in autumn

US born and raised, started learning a second language in my 50s (Italian) so I can move there in the next few years. As an American, I know nothing about African languages, so your intro to Yoruba is fascinating! I'm excited to see some of your journey that you share here.

Good luck with learning. It was a bit confusing though that you didn’t mention at all what your third language is

I’m brushing up on my Yoruba too. Watch some movies that will help with tone

I was rewatching your videos from 10 years ago, when you had just arrived in Italy. Many of those videos (your most viewed ones) were about the surprising or unbelievable differences that an American girl like you couldn't quite grasp yet. I'm glad that after all these years, you're no longer surprised and have come to love Italian customs and traditions ❤️

Just curious. English, Italian, and yoruba make three languages. What is the 4th?
