💜 ABOUT ME:
Hi and welcome! I'm Tanya and the only thing I like more than learning languages is probably talking about learning languages (well, that and hoarding language books).
My native language is Russian and I'm currently in different stages of learning English, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.
Hi there! I have Italian citizenship and started learning Italian. I highly recommend these textbooks: Nuovo Espresso (A1-C2) and Bravissimo (A1-B2). They are amazing! Happy studies for all of us! :)
My best friend is moving to italy next year, so i decided to start learning italian to emotinally support her, this was really helpful thanks a lot
Love your resource guides, thank you for making them! One tip for native podcasts or youtube channels is to also find some in Italian on a subject you want to learn more about. For me, that's Italian cooking and goodness... there are TONS of Italian cooking videos out there, some with subtitles in Italian. I even found a great Italian learners book on cooking by AlmaEdizione called "L'italiano per la cucina"! It's meant for learners at level A2/B1 and if you're into cooking... wow is it fun, with a new recipe and story every chapter. There are also audio files available on the publisher's website. They made 2 other books like this.. one for Art and one for Opera. I have the cooking one and I love it!
the amount of effort and love you put into these videos is super inspiring!!! thank you so much for your content
Thanks for such a great video! I've decided to start studying Italian this week and I didn't know where to start looking for the resources at all. This was incredibly helpful, I will definitely subscribe☺️
I'm so happy to have found your yt channel that I can't express it. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I was quite desperate because my Italian course will end soon and I didn't have a clueless idea of what the h* I was gonna do. I'm very excited about your Spanish videos as well, as it's my next language objective. Nonetheless, I think is appropriate to thank you in my mother language. Muito obrigado!
I also instinctively speak to my cat in Russian haha I'm trying to decide what language I wanna learn next and italian is one of them, having recources ready to use is super helpful! I love your videos ☺️
Yeah, I think the only English word my dogs knows at this point is "snack" 😅
Music is the reason why I am learning the music too! But my favorite Italian piece of music is Niccoló Paganini's 2nd violin Ckncerto in B Minor. Salvatore Accardo has my favorite performance of the concerto. While I doesn't "need" to know the language to play or listen to this type of music, knowing what the titles of musical movements in music scores mean surely helps with understanding musical composers' intentions for their music
Exactly what I needed. Im planning to start italian this summer. Thanks a lot❤❤
are you speaking?
очень информативное и полезное видео. было приятно слушать. спасибо💚
oh my god ! i'm planning now for start learning Italian thank you so much
Haha, great timing! Best of luck!
No one mentions Ouino. It’s amazing 🎉
In Circolo - Perturbazione è uno dei miei album preferiti da sempre, in qualsiasi lingua. Come te, la musica è un motivo principale per imparare l'italiano.
When I go to Italy, I hit the bookstores, like La Feltrinella and Libraccio and I will look for books to buy there in the Italian language learning department.
This is perfect cuz I recently decided to learn Italian but have been stuck just using Duolingo 😭😭
I hope you found something in this video 💜
Hi! I find your videos so helpful and these materials for learning that you found are great! Do you have any method for finding good materials like that or do you just dig down deep into the internet?
The latter definitely 😅 I'd say something that I find really helpful is looking for resources in that specific language, instead of just googling them in your mother tongue/English
Hello there. Where is the link for your playlist on Spotify? 😀
I want to start learning Spanish. I have an upper intermediate level of Italian. Can you share your thoughts on what it is like to go from being a learner of one language to another when the two are similar and easily confused with each other and you don't want to lose the language you just learned?
@iclaliano you can check this channel for information, she is just like you, I mean She was know Italian and learned Spanish also shared her resources
@@ross2642 That is a very good suggestion! She had a better level of French than Italian when she started to learn Spanish and that's the same case for me. She describes how it's like learning Spanish with this language background in this video: HO IMPARATO IL SPAGNOLO DA SOLA IN 1 MESE
@@kennethwdc Yes that's what I meant!! Good luck with Spanish:))
Hi there could you please make a vedio on italian and garmman language Road map? And how to improve my korean listening skill, it's really tough for me? Please Tanya!🙏🏻
I really like how you mention graded readers! I will use them more when I start learning a more popular language, with Ukrainian is hard to find them 9:14
12:24 favorite moment ❤
Graded readers are honestly the best way to start reading!
(I tried to look for Ukranian graded readers in Russian just now and didn't really find anything unfortunately)
Hey Tanya I really liked your videos Actually I just want to talk to you about youtube so can you please tell me how can we talk?
Music ultimo❤
Hi. Thank you for such a great video. I am fluent in English and Spanish and have started Italian. Do you know of or use and resources to find a pen pal (or video in today) to speak with to practice? Years ago I became friends with someone who was going to travel to South America and wanted to find a pen pal to write and email in Spanish so he could practice. Video chat was not really a thing back then so it was mostly letters and then emails. He became a great friend and would send me trinkets from South America until he moved back to his hometown in Australia. It was such a good experience and it helped him learn so much faster than with just books. Thank you. A new sub here :-)
I haven't used them much myself, but a lot of people recommend HelloTalk and Tandem for language exchange
I am late and you probably already came across this app but "slowly" is a really cool app for finding penpals!
hi, got a quesiton which book is the one you are completing in the 0:05 seconds of the video?
hi, it’s easy italian reader
could you do a spanish version please?
Hi! I already have 2 videos about Spanish resources: this one about study materials
czcams.com/video/Z0_Fo-kt9t8/video.html and another one about Spanish media
Do you like assimil products?
I haven't tried anything by Assimil yet, but I'm really curious since a lot of people in the community swear by their books. What's your opinion on them?
I need to try it myself. Its in story format. A France company. A list on their website monolingual & duo versions.
Assimil is well liked, with story books, work books. They expensive, even used, ebay, used books run 20 dollars.
Why did u moved to the US? And why are u learning your languages in English and not in ur mother tongue?
I moved because my husband is a US citizen but I'm hoping to go back to Europe eventually. And there's just a lot more materials in English compared to Russian, which is why I tend to use the former
