Katie è inglese ? Pensavo che sarebbe italiana di nascita 😲 Lo parla perfettamente, è un ottimo esempio di riuscita 👍🏻
Sei francese? Comunque si dice pensavo che fosse ( congiuntivo non condizionale).
@@clotildedecasaantici8065 Sì sono francese 😊
Grazie della correzione.
Pierre, you really didn't know she was English? My favorite parts of the videos are when she says English words and her accent comes out.
Anche io pensavo che Katie è italiana....parla bellissimo il italiano!
Pensavo che FOSSE... Però molta gente dice anche pensavo che ERA. Semplificato.
#7 Have a relationship with an Italian boyfriend or girlfriend!
this should actually be #1. Because it's how most people I've seen have become fluent. Oh well, us married folk will have to keep trudging along :(
That is, in fact, the best way to learn any kind of language. Imagine having someone, who's fluent in the language you're learning, by your side 24/7 - Game changer!
But the main part of it is to resist your soulmate’s attempts to talk in English 😅
@@elxakiltse8773 Not true! My boyfriend is Italian and in almost TEN years I've learnt nothing from him! Despite us living in Italy, he refuses to speak Italian to me and only speaks English. The only other language I hear in the house is dialect, when he is on the phone to family...
I married a Brazilian girl 21 years ago. So as you can imagine, I learned Portuguese immediately. HA HA
Sono un Iraniano innamorato dell'Italia e della sua cultura. Il mio sogno è vivere in Italia. Scusa il mio italiano non è perfetto. Sending my love from 🇮🇷.
Grazie! Non ti preoccupare, tuo italiano è perfetto (anche meglio di certi italiani). Io adoro la cultura Iraniana/Persiana e mi piacerebbe tantissimo visitare l'Iran non appena ne avrò la possibilità. Saluti dalla Lombardia!
Se verrai a vivere in Italia sarai il benvenuto
Non ti scusare del tuo livello di italiano ☺️ consiglio 5: sii gentile con te stesso.
Afarin 👍
Io sono madrelingua italiana, Katie parla italiano straordinariamente, ha una bellissima pronuncia
That’s so funny. I’ve been studying Italian for a little more than a year and when I do speaking exercises I feel like I’m doing a Borat impression.
Cos'è Borat?)))
@@lyubov_1 un film dell'anno 2006
Prova a scrivere commenti in italiano sotto video come questo, sfrutta l’occasione per scrivere nella lingua che stai imparando! ☺️
Il mio è solo un consiglio :)
one year more passed by. Anyway, I could suggest you to watch the italian dubbed version of Borat :) and perhaps you may discover something! ciao!
Sul terzo consiglio aggiungerei una cosa. Io sono Italiano, ma sono 15 anni che vivo a Praga, quindi ci sono passato anch'io a dover imparare una lingua da zero, sul posto ed al pub. Ogni tanto mi capita di incontrare ragazze o ragazzi che hanno studiato un po' di Italiano e vogliono fare pratica con me, spesso hanno una buonissima pronuncia o le prime frasi che dicono sono senza errori, allora io comincio a parlare (quasi) come parlerei ad un altro Italiano, e molto spesso mi sono accorto che mettevo in difficolta' l'altra persona. La frase importantissima che diceva Katie, ovvero, "Non parlo molto bene l'Italiano, ma vorrei imparare", ha un click mentale anche sul madrelingua (In questo caso io), che utilizzera' vocaboli piu' semplici, niente slang, e a parlare in modo piu' lento scandendo meglio le parole. Questo secondo me e' un punto importante, perche' se il madrelingua continua a parlare come parlerebbe ad un suo amico, la persona che vuole imparare probabilmente non capirebbe molto.
The easiest way is to live in Italy and live with a native speaker. It's so difficult when you're in another country and have to rely on learning from books, films and maybe some lessons, but are not fuly immersed in the language in everyday life and don't have a native speaker to help you.
Not everyone can move to Italy though
Ho iniziato imparare l'italiano perché la mia compagna aveva studiato all'estero, a Firenze, per un semestro e voleva continuare imparare l'italiano dopo. Io ho deciso di imparare allo stesso tempo, come un "cheerleader," e si è innamorata della lingua. Adesso parlo più di lei in italiano e voglio studiare e praticare l'italiano sempre!
¡Saludos! Todavía puedes aprender español, Katie :)
Sí, la tiene más fácil ahora que sabe italiano :)
Haha!
JAJAJAJA hacemos un intercambio ella nos enseña italiano y nosotros español xd
Sto imparando l’italiano perché amo la cultura italiana e mi piace viaggiare in Italia. Voi siete buoni insegnanti! Grazie!
Bravo! Hai scritto in modo perfetto.
Grande Thomas...! Continua così...!
anche io!
I started learning Italian after my first visit to Italy, twenty years ago, in my mid-60s. I had previously learned Indonesian in a residential immersive course in Java. It was here that I woke up to 'pure' vowel sounds, the same as in Italian. These are not normal for us Australians but, to me, using them is of key importance. In the 2000s I used to travel to Melbourne weekly for intensive classes at the Centre for IItalian Studies in Carlton. As my hearing isn't good after a head injury, I don't easily decode what is said to me, so Italian conversation isn't easy. But reading in Italian is a good, if partial, compensation. That's why: vostri sottotitoli stanno importanti. Molte grazie per i vostri conversazioni; ancora sto imparando, anche se ho anni ottanta cinque. Ciao.
Complimenti Bruce per il tuo sforzo e coraggio, sei un bell'esempio di tenacia, non mollare mai.
@@faustinogomez4840 Grazie Faustino. Lei ė molte gentile.
🤟🏻🤟🏻 So inspiring Bruce! One of my dreams is to speak Italian fluently.
@@crowdpleaser54 Gloria, mille grazie e buona fortuna.
Wow that is so inspiring! 😄
Katie, il tuo Italiano è incredibile! 😃
Sicuro, fluente, spontaneo, nessuna inflessione inglese ne dialettale.
Super! 👍✌👌👏🔝
Concordo pienamente, ma si nota l’attenzione con cui parlano alchuni inglesi. Credo che questo l’abbia aiutata molto.
Even though I am 52, I am moving to Florence on October 1st from the USA. I will be studying Italian at a language school for one year and then hope to find a way to make Italy my forever home. I came across your channel today and I enjoyed watching some of your videos and so I also subscribed. Grazie! ❤🇮🇹
How is your language learning journey going?
@@erikagomez6232 Things are going well. I won't lie, learning Italian has been challenging but of course it is fun as well. Florence and especially the people I've met have been wonderful!
@@paulfreitag7772 complimenti a ti! Imparare una nuova lingua può essere difficile ma ancho divertente! Sto anche imparando l’Italiano 🇲🇽
Grandissimo, Firenze è una scelta stupenda. Come ti stai trovando?
@Paul Freitag how's it going?
Recentemente sono andato in pensione e spero di passare uno o due mesi ogni anno in Italia. Quindi ho iniziato a imparare italiano due anni fa. Grazie per questo grande video.
Il tuo italiano è già a un ottimo livello, sicuramente non avrai problemi ad ambientarti e a comunicare durante la tua permanenza in Italia.
Non abbiate paura di fare errori. Quando finisce la partita il re ed il pedone finiscono nella stessa scatola.
Per essere onesto ho iniziato da imparare l'italiano in questa pandemia perché avevo noia e non volevo perdere il tempo senza avere un risultato positivo quindi ho iniziato 8 messi fa e adesso sono innamorato di questa bella lingua
Complimenti
@@sottomarina0103 grazie mille
Sei bravissimo, Carlos! Io sono italiana: hai scritto il tuo messaggio in modo perfetto. A me piace molto lo spagnolo, lo conosco abbastanza ma non posso esercitarmi a parlare, non ho molte persone intorno che parlino spagnolo.
@@SuperPaola1963 Grazie Mille...Neanche io riesco a parlare perché mi fa paura... ed non ho con chi parlare hahaha io posso auidarti con lo spagnolo se tu vuoi
Ho iniziato a imparare l'italiano da sei mesi perché mi piacce tantissimo la lingua, il cibo, il arte, la gente. Sono stato due volte lì e sono inamorato di queste bello paese.
Grazie mille!!! Quanti complimenti! ahahahahaha
Ciao Matteo e Katie - ho iniziato a studiare l'Italiano negli anni '80 dopo aver visto un poster della squadra italiana di calcio. Mamma mia, che belli erano! A quel tempo, sapevo che dovevo imparare questa bella lingua. 😄
Katie è veramente diventata fluente in italiano. Puoi dirlo dai suoi movimenti della mano senza sforzo. Questo è veramente il modo in cui gli italiani comunicano.
Avete dimenticato la cosa più efficace - trovare un fidanzato italiano!!! (O fidanzata italiana!) :-D è quello che è successo a me ed ha funzionato benissimo hahaha
Anche a me😍🤣
Mi fa molto piacere, amico nipponico!
Katie's Italian is outstanding... And she keeps improving. The first time I heard her I thought she might have been maybe German, closer to Italy. Her English accent is all gone.
What happened to the woman a few years ago that was on this site? I thought the former female host represented Italy. This show host now doesn't even have an original Italian name. No offense to anyone, just my opinion. :)
@@jackcaprioti1403 well English is the international language... It's understandable. Katie represents Italy perfectly. Her diction his excellent and has studied Italian in depth even more than many Italians. Plus she can be a role model for learners of Italian...
I was pretty sure she was Ukrainian or Belarusian based on the accent
@@dustgreylynx Wow it's a long way from Belarus to Ukraine 😁. Katie sometimes uses a Lombard accent.
Her accent is horrible and she doesn't have the rhythm of Italian.
Lavoro in una scuola, e lavoravo con una ragazza italiana chi non parlava inglese. Ho iniziato imparare l'italiano per aiutarla e ho continuato perché lo adoro!
You really both have the loveliest manner, and there's a wonderful dynamic between you. Great - and very helpful - to listen to you both!
I have always wanted to learn Italian, but finally took the plunge when I found a new job where there were a few italians who speak their language on breaks. They're always trying to teach me words here and there, which is great, but I wanted to learn more.
Mi piacciono moltissimo le vostre puntate. Ho imparato un sacco guardandole. Un abbraccio da Stoccolma 🙂
Speaking Italian seems like the best way to really express what I want to say. It's in my head but won't come out of my mouth!
Same dude, from my heart and long time i planned, i want to learn this language but isn't easy to learned it.
So sad:(
Quando Matteo ha detto che fa ancora errori in italiano, ho riso, mi ha fatto sentire meglio riguardo al processo. Grazie!
I started learning Italian randomly from duolingo, and I can literally speak and understand it well by now. Although I haven't taken any italian courses in school, only yt videos, music and more media.
Randomly?
How much times you needed to learn italian at least to that lvl when you can talk and understand what people saying in italain?
Being second generation Italian but born and raised in Canada, I would like to visit my Uncle in Sicily. I was raised watching movies that spoke in Sicilian dialects, and my parents morphed English and Italian words together. I need to unlearn all those bad habits and be able to have a conversation in Italian so my Uncle can understand me. Your videos are helping me a ton. Thank you!
Katie and Matteo! You are both inspiration to me! I only moved to Italy last September from the UK and am really enjoying learning the language!
Ho iniziato a studiare l'italiano per alcuni motivi. La mia famiglia è italiana e volevo parlare con mia nonna e mio padre in italiano. Ho ancora dei parenti in Italia e spero che un giorno li visiterò e potrò parlare con loro in italiano. Grazie mille per il tuo contenuto! Mi piace molto e mi ha aiutato tantissimo!
Carino 💌
Ho iniziato a imparare italiano perché è une bella lingua
I enjoyed this episode so much thank you both, I am looking forward to being understood as well as Borat!
I have always loved the Italian culture, in particular the romance and the arts, so to speak the language would be a dream come true, so thank you both again for making me believe in myself.
Thanks for sharing your story Katie! It’s encouraging and gives me hope I will eventually get to be able to communicate in Italian. 🇮🇹
Still making my way through the 5 Minute Italian podcasts - they were awesome! They were so helpful on our trip to Venice, Florence and Rome, so thank you!
Katie. I thought you were Italian. I've just started learning and I'm 53. Better late than never.
I started to learn Italian when my youngest daughter went to Rovereto to do her PhD in neuropsycology... we visited several times and practised talking a bit with locals. I do Duolingo every day and a zoom class twice a month, but I think immersion is the only way. My French is better because pre-Covid we go 5 times a year so practice is real.
Molto interessante imparare dall’'esperienza di Katie nell'apprendimento dell'italiano. Molte grazie per condividere questo con noi - :)
I love watching you guys…. I will learn what you are saying (eventually)… you are so fun to watch. Great energy from you both. Thanks
I love the way the Italian language sounds ,I learned some when I was a kid with my parents going to a night school, a long time ago. I've re-started learning about 4 months ago through Duolingo, some old books that I have ie. Buongiorno Italia(1980's). I really enjoy reading in Italian out loud, but sadly most of it I don't understand, or there words and phrases that I know and me brain just freezes up. I will keep going on it though because I want to live in Italy one day, that's my motivation.
I think your videos are great!, real fun to watch(a few times), glad I found you.
I have always loved Italy, its culture, language and of course the food!
I am from Brazil, I learned English when I lived there for two years. Now Italian is my target and the more I learn, the more I fall in love with this wonderful language.
Maybe someday I will come back here and post this again but in Italian
I thought Italian is popular in Brazil beside Portoguese since there are many Italian influnced in Brazil
I was born in Italy but raised in NY. The first five yes of my life was actually calabrese dialect. I’ve traveled to Italy a total 4 times I get insulted because my calabrese dialect. So I found your youtube and I like your approach in teaching with Mateo humor. You’re doing a great job and I agree it is better learning in a day to day conversations than from a book!
How inspirational this video is. Thank you Katie and Matteo, I'll keep at it and perhaps one day when I can go to Italy again I'll be able to understand and talk to all the lovely Italian people I meet. Un abbraccio X
Thank you for this episode! Tonight I was seriously thinking of giving up Italian studies. I get so bored doing the course I am on. I realised tonight I only enjoy Italian when I come and listen to you guys talking. You make it easy and fun and then I want to learn. I think I’ll jack in my course and just listen to you and go talk to Italians.
Ho iniziato a imparare l'italiano perche e la seconda lingua piu bella del mondo (la prima e il greco). Un abbraccio dalla Grecia.
@Cultures' Lover Si, ha ragione. Lo so, ma la mia tastiera non e impostata sull'italiano, quindi non ho potuto scriverlo corettamente. Grazie per il commento!
@@elennav589 sti cavoli se parli bene l'italiano. Se scrivi già così bene mi posso immaginare come sarebbe parlare in italiano con te. Grazie per la tua classificazione e lasciami dire che da straniera a parlare l'italiano sei fenomenale
@@lollo5086 leggendo il tuo commento mi sento veramente molto contenta perche sto cercando di imparare l'italiano da sola e non conosco sempre il modo giusto di scrivere / parlare. Questo commento e stato davvero una spinta per me. GRAZIE!!!
Ciao ragazzi! Grazie per il video interessantissimo. Ho iniziato ad imparare l'italiano a scuola e mi ho piacuto moltissimo. L'ho studiato per sei anni al liceo e ho deciso di continuare all'università adesso. Ovviamente la lingua è bellissima, ma anche per me la storia italiana e così interessante, come la cultura.
:)
Lovely video -- I'm going to rewatch this until I can stop reading the English subtitles (currently part way there). So encouraging to hear the Katie had such struggles-- I assumed she found it all very easy. My Italian speaking husband thinks Katie's Italian is great. I'm going to get there too! This is a very inspiring video.
I gave up in learning italian months ago, but now, i'm watching all of your videos and studying here.😊
Guys, I'm a Spanish speaker (Argentinian) and I'm travelling to Italy, so thanks for being my teachers!!! You're great!
I just need to move to Italy! Would love to actually but not easy. Will keep watching your videos in the meantime.
You still need to study here. I moved two years ago with about b 1 level now I understand everything and speak about b2 , but it’s not enough just to live here . It helps . But you still need to study and speak , write , text , think Italian all day!
@@deannaolivieri1791 thank you. I really do appreciate your point. It gives me hope to still try.
I've got a lot of experience both as a language learner, and as a language teacher, and I totally agree with all the points they are making.
Grazie mille per questo video! I've been frustrated with my progress but this video is super-encouraging. Thank you!
I want learn Italian as I am second generation Italian. My parents could speak and did but only so they could say something without my understanding. I took French in high school but as an adult I wanted to learn Italian. I had no one to practice with but i am continuing to try with your site.
I was in the same boat . My parents were first generation and told English was more important then passing along their parents native language. So when they had children (3boys) they only spoke Italian when they didn't want us to know what they were saying . We called that "Speaking behind our backs in front of us" HAHAHAHA
@@biker9114 that was why I took French in high school. So we each could speak a language the other would not understand.
La pronuncia di Katie é di alto livello e sono colpito dal risultato raggiunto considerando che lei dice di aver imparato l'italiano in età adulta e quindi con almeno il doppio della fatica.
Concordo la padronanza della lingua e' perfetta non semplice per chi parla inglese ma lei pare dotata veramente un gran bel parlare.
Thanks Katie for teaching us to be gentle with self as we learn.
Awesome video guys! Excellent advice and I think that everyone watching this got some important takeaways!
i studied one year of italian during my last year of college in honor of my grandfather who at age 23 had immigrated to USA from rural Sicily. Meno male. Like Katie's decision to study Italian rather than some other non-Spanish language, the decision to study Italian for one year in college was the second smartest decision I've done in my (long) life as it enabled me to study, work and make life-long Italian friends. I love this video and completely agree with your advice. I lead an Italian language club at the local (California) library (now on zoom) and encourage them to watch your videos, they're great.
Grazie mille per questa appuntata ❤️ What I really like about your story Katia, is that it didn't matter you got off the wrong foot with the Italian language, you just had to "meet it again" in a different way to fall in love with it! I'm kind of having a similar situation with Czech language 🙂💪💪 This video is inspiring me, not to stay angry with bad previous language experiences 😊
I have restarted learning Italian my third or fourth attempt I recently met a kind Italian person willing to teach me the language so with her tutoring me and using youtube etc I feel encouraged, this video has great tips as it does feel like an uphill climb learning a new language at 56!
You are an inspiration to all of us who are learning italiano. Tu sei un'ispirazione, grazie mille. Lo spagnolo is beautiful also.
I play il contrabbasso and I did a duet concert with an Italian contrabbasso player who lives here in NZ. We became friends and I thought Italian might be easy to learn. 20+ years later I'm still trying and am a low intermediate level. But I love the language and have some great Italian friends. I visited Italia in 2018 and intend to return next year. I really like what you two say - I have been searching for how I can get better. I do talk to an Italian friend (who lives in Italia) most weeks. Grazie mille.
I'm also English and learning Italian! My grandad is Sicilian and used to speak a little to me so i'd love to be fluent, hopefully i'll be as amazing as Katie someday!
I started learning Italian about 4 years ago on my own with workbooks because I really did fall in love with this language, I was only 17! It was such a beautiful sounding dramatic sounding language I knew I had to learn it ! I can speak it well now thank God
Thanks for sharing. I need to rewatch this episode because I was mostly looking at the Italian subtitles, which I only understand a bit. Long story short. I went to San Salvo for work a few years ago and found few people speak English. I struggled to get around and decided to learn Italian because I loved the friendly and helpful people and delicious food there. Btw，I am Chinese in the UK.
Grazie ragazzi, il vostro video contiene un sacco di consigli utili che riflettono anche le mie esperienze imparando l’italiano (ed altre lingue). Katie, ammiro molto il tuo livello e tutto il piacere che sembri avere nel padroneggiare questa bellissima lingua. Mi fa piacere ‘incontrare’ un altro britannico che si dedica seriamente alle lingue! Grazie tanto a tutti e due!
Your Italian is far better than mine, but then I’ve lived in Oz most of my life. Bravo.👍
Before I started learning Italian, I tried to learn Spanish. I spent the first year trying to learn from textbooks which did not work. After that I watched Spanish CZcams videos and movies and that helped a lot. So When I started Italian I watched Italian videos for a month before even getting a textbook.
Grazie mille!! This was the most encouraging video I've seen in the process of learning Italian! I moved from US to IT with my family and this video gave me reassurance in my progress of learning. I understand a lot but have been reluctant to speak much. I will continue to follow you. Thank you so much! Also, I love your energy!
I have always loved the sound of Italian. I grew up learning French, took Latin in school, so had some background in romance languages. Then my nephew married a woman whose father is from Sicily, so then I had a reason to learn Italian - to speak with them as they and their children were also learning the language and to look forward to visiting Italy. Then, of course, Covid happened and no trips to Italy. Now I am back at it and looking forward to next year in Italia
Are you serious?!! I thought she was Italian native😳😲🔥
Ho iniziato perchè mi sono innamorato con una ragazza milanese. Sono di Minnesota e Chiara è di Cernusco Sul Naviglio. Ci siamo incontrati in Minnesota e poi è tornata in Italia alla fine del 2019. Chiara doveva tornare a Minnesota in Marzo 2020, ma Lockdown successo. Quindi siamo stati separati per mesi e mesi. E poi abbiamo trovato un modo per me, come un americano, di viaggiare in Italia. Allora ci siamo conosciuti a Hazel Grove, Inghilterra dopo più di sei mesi di distanza. Ho dovuto mettere in quarantena per due settimane e poi abbiamo viaggato a Milano. Abbiamo trovato un apartamento di AirBnB in San Ambrogio di vivere per alcuni mesi, mentre abbiamo escogitato un piano. Ci siamo sposati lo scorso ottobre in Cernusco. Adesso sono tornato in Minnesota a iniziare mia carriera, e Chiara sta arrivando in Aprile. Ma vogliamo eventualmente tornare e vivere il resto della nostra vita a Milano. Milano è una delle migliori città del mondo e ci piace lì.
È stato molto bello leggere questa storia!
Auguri per il vostro progetto di vita a Milano! Ci ho abitato per 5 anni e ho buoni ricordi 🤗
Congratulazioni!!!! i miei migliori auguri di una bella sistemazione in Italia!
Auguri! Fa molto piacere leggere queste cose
😍
Katie is a non native? Never guessed from all the episodes till now. Great job learning practicing and taking the further step to even teach it to the rest of the like minded souls ...full circle :) It's inspiring... Thank you to both of you for the regular vlogs ..and if you choose to share your personal experiences in learning the languages , let it be English or Italian or something else, definitely it will add to the motivation/inspiration for many viewers i guess. Grazie voi.
Katie sei bravissima! Un giorno spero arrivare a un livello prossimo al tuo! Sempre avevo un grande interesse per la cultura italiana, anzi, i miei antenati erano italiani. Grazie a tu e Matteo per tutti i video e materiali! Un abbraccio dal Brasile!
pensavo che l'anno scorso avrei viaggiato molto in Italia. Sfortunata non, ma ho scoperto che mi piace imparare l'italiano fine a se stesso.
Because my boyfriend is Italian and I would love to visit his mother some day in Italy and speak with her - she doesn’t speak English. We live here in Ireland and he speaks almost perfect English.
Thank you for your really excellent videos !
Italian: Chiedi al tuo ragazzo che te lo insegni. English: Ask to your boyfriend to learn you.
I wanted to learn some Italian because my husband and I were visiting Italy. We love Italy! My grandparents were from Calabria. I love everything and anything Italian. ❤️
Me and my wife are going to Milano april first. Your videos are helping a lot. Thanks! And hello from Brasil...
I started studying because I want to get my master's degree in art history and I am interested in focusing my degree in Italian Gothic art. I still have a long way to go but watching your channel really helps.
I started learning italian because my husband's job took us to Milan. I love learning langauges and every country we have been to, I have learnt the language- Dutch, Pidgin English in Nigeria, Bahasa Indonesia, Russian. Plus I grew up with three languages.
Привет! А в каком городе вы жили в России, если не секрет?:) Вы молодец, что изучаете языки стран, где проживаете
You two are great& funny ! I’m always scrolling for different programs but always go back to you two!
Thank you so much, glad you appreciate our work!
Bravissimi, entrambi! Io studio l'italiano perché mi piacciono le lingue e per motivi di lavoro. Grazie mille! Ciao!
I started learning merely because it sounds just beautiful and that I wanted to at least say something in Italian to my Italian friends. Now I started learning fashion design and I feel like being able to speak Italian is gonna help me so much when I’m in Milan in a few years. Thank you for every episode you’ve made !
Ho iniziato l'italiano l'anno scorso in preparazione del mio trasferimento a napoli, sono arrivata 5 mesi fa e solo ora mi sento comoda con la lingua, pazienza e la chiave sicuramente - sopratutto quando ci sono un dialetto inoltre alla lingua italiana ! Grazie mille Katie e Matteo sempre un piacere
Complimenti se riesci a capire il Napoletano oltre all'Italiano 🤣 , non riusciamo a capirli noi Italiani se parlano stretto .
I love this channel so much! You both seem lovely, and this was a great, honest, informative chat. Thank you! :)
I have been trying on my own for two years to learn Italian, I think I have succeeded so far, I do not speak the language flawlessly but satisfactorily, certainly the videos on youtube help me a lot and those Italians who happened to respond to some of my comments helped me a lot and I thank them ❤️
Sono lituano e ho imparato l'italiano, perche sono andato a Roma per vivere al convento. Eh, si facevo tanti errori (adesso faccio perche sono tornato in Lituania e non uso l'italiano molto spesso). Invece che dire Madonna del sasso, ho detto Madonna del sesso, e invece che dire Italia è la culla della Cristianità, ho detto Italia è il culo della Cristianità. Era molto imbarazzante
già se dici così al convento è imbarazzante ma se lo dici al bar ti fai tanti amici :-)
Ma dai, sbaglia chi fa, ti assicuro che adesso non ti sbagli mai con le parole sasso e culla.
*Complimenti per la tua scrittura in italiano.
@@giapetto2 AHAHAH
Katie parla l'italiano come una vera italiana...! Congratulations! I really love your videos...Io voglio imparare l'italiano perche e una lingua romanza, (lo spagnolo é la mia madrelingua) e Io capisco molto questa lingua ma Io voglio parlare perfetto .... Katie ... impara lo spagnolo! jajajaj
Ciao! It’s Ed from Lodi, CA. Mi piace motto tutto italiano. I’ve been to Italy many times through work. I was a pilot and have been to Aviano, Venizia, Napoli, Trieste, Sicily, Taranto, etc. Thanks for all your videos. Keep up the good work. Ciao ciao!
Katie speaks better than me and I've been here in Italy for 11 years! I also have an Italian wife so that helps but she still speaks better! Complimenti! I also love the guitar metaphor and it's so true, especially the part about getting over the calluses on your fingers. Painful but necessary. These are all great tips for learning Italian and I wish I had this help when I was first starting. Unfortunately italians don't always correct you when you make a mistake. I made mistakes for years before someone corrected me.
Ciao ragazzi. Grazie per i consigli. Ho iniziato ad imparare l’italiano perché mi piacerebbe trasferirmi in Italia. Spero possa farlo.
Perché sono italiana, nata in Uruguay. Qui parliamo lo spagnolo
I wanted to learn Italian because all of my family were going to be traveling to Italy for my niece's wedding. Sadly due to covid everything was cancelled. She is working hard as a nurse and couldn't wait to be married in Sorrento. I was studying in secret and wanted to impress everyone with my fluent Italian. Still trying. Hopefully with your help by the time I get to Italy I might be able to order a coffee 🤦
How funny, we were supposed to have traveled to Italy late 2020, so I took up studying in secret, too! I feel confident that I can order a coffee, then ask to use the bathroom. haha Good luck on your studies! (in boca lupo!)
Tourist Italian is pretty simple ...
' una cafe / capaccino , per favore ' /
for TO GO it 's ' porta via ' ...
@@deepbluehue3 un caffè, un cappuccino, da portare via*
@@pepsicolla123 hahaha Grazie ...
Even my tourist Italian isn't very good !
@@deepbluehue3 Learning never stops ;)
i loved this video. i studied italian and french in university and came out only being able to get by with my Italian and hardly any french. i felt so disappointed in myself for going to university for three years to feel like I learned nothing. i went to Italy only for a few days the next summer and learned so much in the short time I was there. you just have to keep pushing yourself to learn and you will start to feel the progress. (:
Because I’m part Italian, because I love Italy 🇮🇹, and because the language is beautiful!
No mean to offense, but since I'm studying in France... I wish French would have the same attitude regarding language mistakes 😅😬
Find new French people. The French I've met have been nothing but helpful with my french study
I know what you feel. One cannot even try to compare these two nations when it comes to the attitude towards learning person...
@@jameslinton981 I agree with her. i can speak French at a good level ( it's not too hard to learn for us Italians) and i often go to France for it's so close to Italy. I have to say that it occurred to me several times that people would pretend not to understand what I said. I don't know why they behave like that.
I would love to hear Katie speaking English. She's from England?
There are some rare moments when one can hear a slight accent. I believe she has a German language background or something closely related.
@@TT-Freak She's American I believe.
Yes, Katie is English. Not German or American!
Ragazzi, siete fantastici! Grazie mille per tutti i vostri video che guardo da molto tempo e consiglio a tutti che vogliono imparare l’italiano prima di tutto.

Tutta la mia vita amavo la lingua italiana e anche tutto sull’Italia... Ed ho iniziato ad imparare circa tre anni fa, però attivamente un anno fa... Generalmente io sono il “language maniac” chi sta imparando poche lingue nel stesso tempo (l’italiano, lo spagnolo e il tedesco)... Tanti saluti da Bosnia ❤️
Edit: Una curiosità: la mia miglior’ amica parla 19 lingue 😎
Complimenti!
Provo a imparare la lingua perche tutta la famiglia di Mia moglie Sono abbruzzesse. Ho passato tanto tempo Durante "lockdown" guardando il suo vlogs. Grazie a te
Posso permettermi, da madrelingua, di correggerti? Si scrive "Abruzzese". E non bisogna scrivere "sono abruzzese" ma "è abruzzese" perché il verbo "è" è singolare e va a braccetto con abruzzese che è singolare. Do you want that i translate the comment in english?
@@lollo5086 grazie a te! Ho capito Che ha scritta!
@@andrewdundas335 scusa.... me lo puoi dire in inglese??? Hai scritto qualcosa di sbagliato e non capisco.....
Sorry....can you tell me that in english? You've writed something wrong and I don't understand
