Learning Italian in 1 Month?! (9 Unique Ways to Learn a New Language FAST)
Vložit

- **DISCLAIMER**: I am not preaching that you can reach fluency in ANY language in just one month. The beautiful complexities of any language take years to learn and it's best if you actually immerse yourself in that culture among native speakers. However, since many of us don't have the capability of that method, I provided some tips to simply learn faster than using Duolingo once a day. I'm no professional, but I was very pleased with the progress I made in just one month. Again, I'm not fluent, just an ambitious and happy language learner. ;)
----
Do you want to learn a new language, but have no idea where to start?
I have 9 helpful tips for you to not only learn a new language but to become conversational.
Last month I embarked on a language learning journey and challenged myself to learn as much Italian as I could in one month. It wasn't easy, but I learned a lot about how to learn a new language and decided to share my tips with you! I'm excited to continue learning this beautiful language and hopefully, I'll continue to add more languages to my list. Again, I didn’t become fluent in one month, as it’s impossible to understand all the intricacies in such a short time. I’m still learning! Enjoy and check out my favorite resources below!

fun fact is that I'm watching a video in english of how to learn italian when my native language is spanish and I want to learn korean kdjksjdskdjkd
omgfdsjk im learning korean too
Did U use TTMIK
I am watching the video in english of how to learn italian while my native language is german and i want to learn russian lol
Austrian, (native language German), want to learn Swedish and Italian. So kinda win? 😂
Im from Philippines and I learn hangeul for two weeks only. I can read and write and even speak a little of it but i lack vocabularies. I do know subject and redicate identifier and the likes. Its just the vocabulary I lack on. But its a continues process.
Her: "don't be afraid to learn 100 words in a day"
Me, always, one day before my french exam: "So, let's learn 700 words in a day and forget all of them next week"
Haha oh I remember the days before my Spanish exams on the verge of tears using Quizlet 😂
@@SheaJordan That's so true! But the whole process of tipping in the words in Quizlet and seeing them and realising how unuseful they will be in real conversations is a whole other dimenson of being on the verge of tears😂
I'm french, if you need help.. !!
@@allllll5609 Yes I do!
@@allllll5609 Really? I really need somebody with whom I can speak or text in french, so that I can use the language! Would you be interested?
"Listen to music"
me: * Maneskin intensifies *
Hahahaha me
Omg same
yeah
yes!!
Me too 😂
POV: Måneskin won Eurovision
😅😅

yes
yeah boy
They're the main reason why am learning Italian
"Why do you speak Italian?" -"Quarantine".
Hahaha this is a good one🙌🏼🤣
😆😆😆😆
"Old Epic Poems"
literally the first thing i did since march 😂
Hahaah accurate
Just note to myself:
1. Top 1000 words - 100/day, using flash cards
2. Reviewing them everyday - repetition is key
3. Commonly used verbs and conjugations
4. Keep a journal in that language
5. Keep an activity log (of the learning journey)
6. Watch videos in that language
7. Music
8. Hello talk (after you’ve built some basic knowledge)
9. Get a workbook (conversation)
10. Read and listen to children’s book
miya lu thanks 🙏
Thanks !
Grazie mille per il video...
Ho appena inniziato a imprare me stesso, ma molto difficile
Thank you
Do we need to study grammar too do you guys have any tips for that
who's watching after Eurovision because you fell in love with Måneskin and you want to understand them?
hahahaha I feel that. I've been listening to Maneskin for a while now and their Eurovision performance was AMAZING!
Bye this is me
😂 that's me
I JUST KNEW THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST ONE MÅNESKIN COMMENT ON HERE AHHAHAHA
@@kianasch lol I’ve seen like at least 15 so far 😂
FUN FACT: I've always wanted to learn Italian because my native language is Spanish and they are kinda similar but I never really ended up actually doing it and now I'm in love with maneskin and NEED to understand what ft they're saying jsjsjsjsj
hahaha i think everyone is obsessed with Maneskin now 😂
@@SheaJordan yup that’s why I’m here I can’t even pronounce the lyrics right 😭
Same here!! At least some words sound the same in Spanish and we can understand a bit of what they’re saying 😅
Haha Måneskin is the exact reason why I am learning Italian right now
HAHAHH, it's a very hard language
FACT: I am in love with an italian girl, and what a motivator to learn a language.
Haha amazing! Truly one of the best motivators.
My boyfriend is American, I am Dutch. He has no motivation to learn Dutch at all 😂
Jelisawesome I could be wrong but isn’t English fairly common in the Netherlands?
@@nemesiszer0708 Most people will be able to hold a basic conversation in English and English can be common in (international) businesses. English is not an official language here though and Dutch is the main language in the country.
Jelisawesome That’s what i thought.
I'm italian and I'm also fluent in english. I'm studying french and spanish. My goal is to speak at least 5 languages fluently
That's AWESOME!
You will most certainly achieve that. Good luck though.

Vicki Tan - il très difficile en le début , mais, pourquoi cette tres important je suis à apprendre la langue française. Je aime apprendre cette langue 😀
je ai commence avec dix-cinc jours avant
Mah Sa your just learning French so you listen to Alizée
Lmao don’t give up mate. I was born in France and I’m still bad at it 😂
Sorriso Colgate be careful to don’t mixed up cette and c’est. Cette is use for showing off something. Like pointing it out. For example if you wanna say ‘look at this scarf’ you’ll have to use ‘cette’. C’est is the verb ‘is’ so when you use the form ´this is’ in English, you have to use ´c’est’. Also something I’ve noticed about ppl when they learn French is that they usually use only masculine or feminine adjectives or articles. We are really annoying on gender I know but if you don’t specify it’s just really weird for us
@@mgtccnl hey do you know the diffrent with ci and ca - could you say ci c'est belle because ca c'est is that is right so would ci c'est work
“Listen to music”
Me, who’s learning german:
MOSKAU MOSKAU, WIRF DIE GLÄSER AN DIE WAND!!!!
how is it going?
Hey Lunar ! I''m also learning German. Would you like to be language partners ? Im an A2 :) and my ig is @priynandinigupta if you wanna contact me.
Yeah our music is very interesting xD
Ahahahha
Yess! I'm learning German too and I love that song lol. Some more great songs are (well, in my opinion) are:
-In einen Polenstädtchen
-Einmal Reisen (Das Lummerlandlied)
-Leon, das Chamäleon
-Schnappi mit Untertitel
And here I am, 4 years after I started listening to Måneskin and got motivated to learn Italian after their ESC victory..
When you're actually learning her native language with this video
Mee
Lmfao same
Same here
Meee
Meee 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey! I saw that you wrote in your notebook "sono eccitata " and just wanted to tell you that the word "eccitata" is mostly used in the sense of "horny". So if you want to say "I'm excited", I suggest you say something like "Sono emozionata, sono molto contenta, entusiasta" or something like that!
I'm Italian and wanted you to know so that you don't make this mistake with a native speaker. Good job 👍 (I don't know if others pointed out this mistake already)
Omg thanks so much for letting me know this. I talked to someone about this on HelloTalk but it's always hard to understand the little details like this. So thank you!!!
Spanish and French are the same. excitado/a and excité(e) mean horny. Spanish would be like "estoy emocionada" and French would be like " j'ai hâte" which kind of means I'm looking forward to..
Ilaria Leave her alone! I rather hear her tell me “sono eccitata” mmm oh yeah baby!

@Belle I'm half Italian & Viet and her tips were great if you're a beginner. To move forward you should really learn the grammar well and focus on pronunciation as it is very important. Buona fortuna! Restate sicuri durante questa pandemia.
Good pronunciation! Just, a little tip: pay attention to double letters, they DO count! Complimenti per i tuoi sforzi! Wow
Right, someone else commented this and I know which part you're referring to 🙊 I'll definitely use that tip!

@Lorenzo Passero oddio, per 1 mese è veramente tanto non lo metto in dubbio, ma sinceramente non è fluente il suo italiano e ha un accento american veramente forte e si nota che il suo modo di pensare le frasi non è da italiano... Per carità, rispetto e dico complimenti per 1 mese di studio è veramente tanto, ma la strada da fare è ancora tanta e se vuole veramente arrivare a un livello di conversazione business (alla Joe Bastianich per fare un esempio) ce ne sarà ancora per un po', le auguro comunque forza e coraggio
10 minutes into the video. I just realised that I'm italian and I already know the language.
Everybody has those days 🤷🏼♀️🤣🙌🏼
That moment, when she speaks italian better after one month of learning than me after 3 years of learning at school
😬😬😬

Another fun fac:
I'm Arab and I'm watching a video in English on how to learn Italian to learn how to speak French...
I guess when it comes to learning languages you gotta do what you gotta do lol.

I’m Italian and i want to learn Japanese lol
lol I'm Czech watching a video in English on how to learn Italian to learn how to speak Arabic

i think videos like this will get super popular now because of Måneskin and what the band's doing to our sanity 😂 thank you for recording it, i'm ready to take notes!
Hahah a lot of people have already commented saying they’re here after maneskin 😂 I have lots of other helpful videos as well! This was when I first started learning Italian and have definitely changed my methods a bit since then
Wait I’m Italian, I don’t need this..
Puo raccomandare qualche tv show(not the dark one:)) in italiano e la musica? Ascolto e so solo Fabri Fibra, Andrea Bocelli e Tiziano Ferro. Non mi ricordo il rap gruppo dei ragazzi italiani. Non erano famosi come Fabri Fibra. Non c'erano i video clip su youtube, soltanto audio. Circa 10 anni fa.

@@stefaniariva523 Grazie mille per le risposte!!!❤
la tuya por si acaso
As a native Italian speaker, you are going really well but you need to slow down and really pronounce every letter. By slowing down you can focus on using actual Italian pronunciation and eventually you can speak at a normal pace with excellent grammar!
Thank you for the tip! I will definitely slow down and take my time. ☺️

Wait what 😂😂😂
You don’t speak Italian growing up?
I can see it you don’t speak Italian now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same , I even attended italian secondary school, but never been fluent😂🤦🏻♀️
@@skylarm570 this is just an inside joke. In all towns, small villages they have a different dialect. The accent of the dialect gets transferred to Italian when they have to speak it. For example, it's more than 20 years now that I speak Italian, I still find it extremely hard to understand people from Veneto when they speak Italian,.
I’m doing this for Damiano 😂😅
wow😃😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Of course 😂😂 love to see it 🎉
I always think that Italian is a beautiful and distinctive language I learned from my Italian husband
Yes, I agree! I think it is beautiful!
@Antonio Torino uuffff
Need to improve your rrrr
Hmm I may try french as I heard it’s closer to English. But the language I like the most is chinese.
Think and grow up if you don’t have any reason to learn french you’ll likely give up due to lack of motivation, but of course you could learn french first so that it will be easier when you pick up Chinese so that your motivation would be that once you’ve got french nailed you can move on to the language you care about more
I'm italian but these tips can be applied to learn any language, so thank you!

I should be studying for my finals but måneskin made me want to learn how to speak italian lol (I've always wanted to know a third language yk either spanish or italian) so I re-downloaded duolingo and I will follow your tips let’s hope this works...
When I heard you say “I know Spanish”, I was like “here's another Nathaniel...”, but how you speak at the end is an actually believable result after a month of daily practice without a tutor and real-life immersion.
With Nathaniel, he obviously knew enough basics when he started, and although his advice is legit, the results aren't a realistic benchmark for people starting from scratch.
So thanks for a realistic benchmark :)
Thanks for this comment. I totally understand what you mean. I also didn't have someone to speak with like he did, and I still have lots to learn!
@@SheaJordan Appreciate the reply! You did really well, wish you to continue progressing as much as you need :)

I’m learning French lmao I’m literally dying
@Dhs Abd07 if I wasnt brought up speaking but English and Russian I probably would have never had the patience to learn either. all I can recommend (regardless of your level) is to watch children's TV shows in Russian

HELLO THERE! I AM FROM SRI LANKA AND I RECENTLY STARTED LEARNING FRENCH. WOULD YOU MIND HELPING ME TO IMPROVE MY FRENCH LANGUAGE SKILLS? THANK YOU, NIUMI
You go girl!!! Its amazing how much we can learn when we dedicate ourselves! Ive been studying Italian for 2 weeks with a tutor and on my own - and I can understand and form basic sentences. My accent its really bad but I dont care! I will keep at it! 💪
I recommend watching “skam Italia”, a remake of Norwegian series and I think it would be not that difficult to understand since the topics treated are not too conplex. I’m Italian and literally every teenager loves it😍 by the way, I really do love your voice
Yes! I’ve watched the show and I love it! They’re making another season now, right? Thanks so much for watching 💕

I’m a year late in finding this but: thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been studying for a long while, and a lot of the tips you mentioned here were some of the ones that helped me most! And you mentioning your progress also confirmed to me that some study ideas I have may actually pay off the way I’m hoping.
I’m currently learning the most common 1000 words in chinese, cause a long time ago when I was learning French - learning the most common words boosted my ability to read/watch/speak basically a ton. In chinese I kept hitting walls of very little comprehension, so I rethought my strategy and decided to go through the most common words and characters before diving back into the grammar/listening etc that id been working on. Hearing you did exposure to the 1000 words in the beginning first makes me hopeful my plan will help a bit too. Also I just started using hellotalk and I can’t agree more! It got me to start practicing speaking a lot more! Your tip to do a conversational workbook to work on good sentences is something id like to include in my plans. I was debating I’d rewatching chinese shows I’ve seen with only chinese subtitles would help at all, and hearing you did this with Italian makes me hopeful it might help somewhat. I love that all your tips in here consider trying to approach learning while practicing all of the areas of writing/listening/speaking/reading. For a beginner starting out, this video really lays out a good starting idea for making a study plan!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like you found this helpful and I definitely think you're on the right track! I'm sure Chinese is tough to learn so as with any language, be patient and keep going!
When you know English and Spanish and can already pick up some words when you hear people speak Italian
I speak both Englisht and Italian and I'm able to understand a lot of Spanish (not speak it tho' as I've never learned it).
I speak Spanish and Catalan, so when I started my Italian lessons I was affraid I wouldn't understand my professor but it turns out I never missed a single word she said 😂
Arjona Shala I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish so I understand a lot of words and phrases in Italian because portuguese and spanish are so close to it
@@pippo5202 Eu falo português e estou aprendendo espanhol mas não consigo entender italiano. 😂
I speak Spanish and English and it’s the same for me
Wait, that‘s me 😍 thank u 🙏🏻 keep up the good work girl 💕
omg hehe yes I LOVE your videos ❤️ Thanks for commenting!!!
Hi, I’m Italian.
Italian grammar is much more complicated than the English one, so I guess it’s much more difficult learning Italian from English than the opposite.
On the other hand, I think that we have an easier pronunciation. So listening is harder in English.
Just to say that you’re doing a very very good job, keep it up!! 💪🏻💪🏻
LOVVVVED the part when you said "I feel really proud of my self", you should be:)
Thank you!!
There's an Italian girl at my school and I like her a lot, so I plan on learning Italian. This help a lot, thank you.
Do it for love
Aww this is so cute
It sounds lovely ♥️
Aw fantastic! I'm rooting for you! Good luck with your Italian learning :)
In what country do you live?
If your spoken Italian evolved like that in a single month, that's quite impressive. Nicely done :D
I’m Italian and I’m actually watching this video to practise my english... what a trip lmaooo
POV:We all came here after Eurovision
Lol accurate
Since I have a lot of time because of the quarantine I decided that it's finaly time to learn italian.
My whole family (mom, auntie and gradma) all know italian and my grandpa is italian, but I never got enough time somehow to learn the language. Some days ago my grandpa called and told me that he practised English, so we can communicate (I am bulgarian, but he decided that it's easier to learn English) and I realised that this person, a grown up person is talking his time to learn a language just to talk to me, that is not even my native language and I got kind of dissapointed in myself for not doing anything for him so now I'm trying to learn italian, so we can talk more often and so it could be easier for him, I know that he will be very happy and now I'm doing it!
These tips are so good and I'm just at the beggining, but I really do think that they will help me a lot with my journey of learning the language and I'm really grateful for finding this video, thank you so much ♥️
Aww! I’m so happy you decided to take the jump and learn italian. Since you have family members who speak it, you can definitely have plenty of practice and learn a lot faster. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and I truly wish you the best of luck with your learning!
Yeah learning a language during lockdown is a super good thing
Great video! I'm finishing up my third year living in Rome (I'm american) and my second year of italian lessons. Now I'm speaking at a C1 level and still everyday there something new to learn. It's so encouraging to know there are other people, such as yourself, who are experiencing the joys and difficulties of learning Italian!
Fun fact -I’m an Australian watching an American do a video on learning Italian -am a Native Spanish speaker by default as I was born in Central America but moved when I was 3 years old to Sydney! I’m currently studying opera with a Russian classical singing teacher (thus wanting to speak Italian)
I’m also learning Russian via CZcams! I studied beginner Polish 9 years ago in Sydney 😅 so that has helped! Cheers Shea!
P.s am learning French Canadian through an opera singer friend in Quebec!!
On 5:40 you wrote "ho andato" but it should be "sono andato/a.." sorry but it just caught my eye and I felt like pointing it out
Agh, yeah in the beginning I ALWAYS messed up sono and ho with andato. Thanks for catching that!
Shea Jordan Trisha Elizabeth All the verbs that imply movement go with the auxiliary verb “essere”. Easy.
@@katrinadomi1 Yeah I know that's why I pointed it out
actually it's sono andata bc when you use essere in the past, you have to pay attention whether it's female or male ;) so in her case it's sono andata
@@katrinadomi1 Not precisely, for instance you say "ho corso per un'ora stamattina" (I ran for one hour this morning)... What you said, namely that verbs of motion always require "essere", is often taught as a rule in language schools, but it is rather a statistically preponderant case.
De facto, there is not a 100% rule on how to determine the auxiliary verb. In most cases, you use "essere" with intransitive verbs and "avere" with transitive verbs, but there are some exceptions.
Thank you. I hate when I have to learn like 20 nationalities and country names in the first lesson. Who needs this as a beginner?
The journal idea is great! Thanks for the idea
i am croatian and fluent in english. i moved to germany about a year ago and i am currently stuck and learning very slowly (schools being closed isnt helpful either) 🥲 i would also like to learn korean and maybe even japanese later ^^ hopefully i will get there at some point in my life
thank you so much for this 💕
Best of luck! Thanks for watching!
This a great video, really eloquently put together. I think the number one most important thing to learn a language is to not be embarrassed. I remember when I was in Spanish class in high school nobody wanted to improve their accent because they thought it sounded tryhard or weird, but now I'm here in Spain and those same kinds of people sound completely American when they speak.
At first, your sentences will sound like a child speaking, you won't know every verb tense, you will feel uncomfortable talking with natives, etc. Once I learned to get over my fear of these things my proficiency skyrocketed.
Ciao!
Yes that’s so important, I’m so glad you wrote this and I hope many others see this too. Great tips! ❤️❤️
@@SheaJordan Grazie! If you study the right way you really can become proficient in a language in record time!
Pretty solid Italian after just one month, ngl. Especially I have to say that you nailed the rolled ‘r’ which is very important to sound native!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
I'm Italian, so I've really been wanting to learn how to speak some Italian, so thank you, I can tell this is gonna help!
Yay! Best of luck! I have a bunch of videos on learning Italian so make sure to check those out as well 😊
@@SheaJordan Will do!
Great tips! It's impressive to see how far you've come in a single month (and now, two years later, I can only imagine how much you've learnt!). I've started my own language journey recently -- Russian, in my case -- and though it's moving slowly, noticing even small improvements everyday is such a big motivator. Can't wait until I can tell a little bit about my day or introduce myself like you did at the end of the video. :)
Love the HelloTalk suggestion, by the way! Definitely going to use that!
Hey, how is it going?) I'm russian and wish u luck!
The Italian language suits you, Shea. You look even classier and more authoritative while speaking it :) Carry on.
Thank you! I appreciate that ☺️
I am italian and I speak english fluently I think that you have a pretty good base to start a conversation and to travel to Italy I just tell you to keep it up like that you did a very good job 😊 p.s. buona fortuna con lo studio dell' italiano👋
Grazie! :) I would love to travel to Italy again!
I love this video, because that’s the way I’ve been studying Italian for the last two months and you are right. This is the way!
Molto grazie Shea! Buona giornata!
You were right :) Definitely a bop!
I'm learning Polish (third hardest language to learn for English speakers based on Babbel) for almost 3 weeks now. This video is the most practical one I watched, especially the Hello Talk app I didn't know of. Great work✌️
Great! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Powodzenia!
Did u continue learning it? I’m learning it rn and I’m finding it very hard lol
@jackson_985 and how is it going?
I learn English by watching a video about learning Italian/ That is beneficial
I can’t be the only one who has a måneskin obsession and now wants to learn Italian 😂
You definitely aren’t the only one 😂☺️
Excellent video, clear and concise. Keep up the great work! Bravo!!!
I have always studied Italian at home (once in a while) and I went to Italy last summer for an italian language course. Love this language so much, but it is hard to keep up the good work when you are back home. I am so inspired by your video 😊 Thanks!
Italian is the easiest language to learn for English speakers, and one of the most fun languages to speak imo! Great tips and I totally agree about learning words that will be used most. I am learning Greek now and when I observe my conversations in Italian I notice I use the same 20 verbs quite a lot so now I am focused on learning these verbs first!
Yeah it’s super fun! The grammar is really hard for me cuz the word order and some structures are different from English. That’s where I struggle. But that’s awesome you’re learning Greek, that must be super cool. Good luck with your learning! ☺️🙌🏼
Shea Jordan oh yeah, when I said “easiest” I didn’t mean “easy” haha! Getting used to a different word order is the part I find hardest too, I am lucky that I live in Italy so it got easier over time. Best wishes and thanks for your reply! 🌷
Oh of course, I understood what you meant. There are way harder languages out there, Like I lived in Hungary for a bit and Hungarian was unbelievably difficult! That’s awesome you live in Italy, I’m planning on going back in a year or so to live there for a few months to practice and put my knowledge to the test.
Καλή τύχη! 😁
Its not the easiest, not even close. Other Germanic languages are easiest
Thank you for these tips!
Thank you for your tips!
I started learning Hindi. when you learn to write the alphabet at almost 30 years of age, then you feel like a child haha. Good luck everyone!
Oh you started learning Hindi! That’s great to hear, because I’m An Indian and a Native Hindi Speaker 😜
Hope you enjoy learning Hindi 😉
Hey ! I'm Indian and I hope you are successful.I don't see a lotta people learning Hindi but when I do it's so refreshing. If you ever need help.Just ask.🌟
@@priynandinigupta8281 yess
I'm fluent in hindi. Feel free to reply if you want to talk or text or learn hindi
Oh my gosh! These are so helpful. I'm learning Italian during this quarantine and I'm so happy to find this video. Learning a new language felt like I'm learning English all over again. English is not even my native language. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm also a big fan of Nathaniel Drew
Awww great! I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
Thank you so much,Shea!It was very helpful!!!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching
Thanks Shea for the guidance. ❤
Ciao a tutti! Thanks for stopping by and watching this video. Of course, I need to note that I did NOT become fluent in one month and that short Italian part at the end was not everything I learned. Learning a new language takes time and I definitely think you start to understand it a lot faster than you are able to speak it. I'm having so much fun learning Italian and I cannot wait until I can become more conversational. If you're learning a new language, let me know in the comments below which one it is! 😊
I'm Arabic girl now Im watching ur vidio while I'm still learning Italian, in very short time I started to speak Italian let's say in 5 months and thx alot for the tips I followed them all but simply without organizing that anyway I will use ur tips with Spanish language when I'm done with Italian, thx alot for the video and I like the way u present it, very nice show.. Go on 🧡
Hi, Im russian native speeker and I learn English and French (just on start line:) now.
J'ai appris le français au niveau du B2 e voglio imparare italiano
Hi I'm italian and I've always had a passion for languages. I think you did a good job, of course one cannot be fluent in just one month, but that's a great start already. Keep up the good work!
Shea Jordan I grew up bilingual and I am currently learning my first foreign language of Serbo-Croatian... am I learning everyday... don’t have time but I have the will to learn
I'm watching this after Eurovision because måneskin 😂
Hahaha a lot of people have come for that reason. Welcome!
loved this video! so helpful! Grazie!
Great job! Thanks for the info!
i’m trying to learn french right now, im hoping in my lifetime to become fluent in atleast 3 languages ( besides english which i’m a native speaker of )
That’s an awesome goal! I would love to learn at least 3 as well ☺️
Italian is such a beautiful language! I learned it in high school! Also, I’m obsessed with your channel!
Edwin Serrano yes I really love it and I can’t wait to keep learning and get better. Thanks for watching my videos!!
Oh, really? I would have never expected Italian to be taught in high schools.
@@PaoloDiBello98 siiii dio cane
Paolo Di Bello lots of schools in America teach it in the northeast because of all the Italian-Americans
ALE9069 si ma a scuola non ti insegnano che “dio cane” = “bello”
Thank you. That was really helpful and practical. I enjoyed the video and it gave me lots to thinks about
Your information was so valuable. Thank you for creating and posting this video.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful :)
