I’ve tried loads of apps and online programmes for learning Italian. I went a bit crazy when lock down started in the UK last March and bought way too many. I’ve tried Babbel, Fluenz, duolingo, Italian uncovered and Italy made easy. My favourite by far is Italy made easy. Only downside is it is expensive. I’d advise anyone learning a language to just buy one programme and stick with it- don’t do what I did.
An excellent video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
I'm learning Italian and I find your videos/suggestions very helpful. I've been watching your videos for a while now. That's why I leave commercials (at least one if they are too long) to support your project. Thx Shea.
My fav resource to study Italian is songs ESPECIALLY MÅNESKIN!!! all of their Italian songs are sooooo good and helpful..! Send you love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤
This video is great! I studied Italian for a couple of weeks in 2016 and I wanted to get back at it this year. I’ve been studying German for the past 8 months and I just included Italian back in the game. I know fluency is a long path and I’m actually not worried with this rn. Learning languages should be about enjoying the ride and falling in love with the culture. Greeting from Brazil 🇧🇷 We love your videos. Muito sucesso ;)
Thanks so much, Gabriel! Fluency definitely is a long road and sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed with Italian. But if you really enjoy it then I really believe you can stay motivated to learn. Thanks for watching!
I'm Italian and I don't know why, but I just came across this video...I definitely love you, you're so kind and your methods of learning Italian are the same as I use to learn English...Anyway, this video made me practice English, so thank you so much! Ciaoo 😆
Thank you for mentioning Busuu. I didn’t know about it before but that seems like a very good one to try and it has some very helpful features! Thank you for sharing this! 😊
I use Lingq and I love it. Can I ask you a question? How long have you been learning and when did you start taking “lessons” on Italki. Ho troppo paura. 😅
Hi Shea, thank you for this video. It helped me to get ideas on study plans and routines. My question is I have been having recent audio problems with Quizlet. The majority of the flash cards don’t have audio. Have you experienced that? The technical support haven’t given me feedback on their progress so i am looking for an alternative. Do you think Busuu would fulfill the quizlet void or can you recommend an alternative? Thank you in advance.
I love these types of videos as I’m also learning Italian 🇮🇹. How long did it take you to reach B1 level? I have been studying for 5 months and I am at an A2 level hoping to reach B1 soon. Grazie mille per il tuo video! ⭐️
I’m so happy you enjoyed this video! I would say it took me about a year or a little more to get to this level but it’s also easy to get stuck here in B1 as I’m discovering 😂
@@SheaJordan Wow - that is impressive you reached B1 - you can qualify to write the B1 citizenship CEFR exam ..lol My question is did you tutor decide the level or are you following a course and you progressed to level B1?
@@SheaJordan Shea not being mean but wondering--you can say you are a level once you finish that level, so did you finish a B1 Course? Or take a test? As to be B1 in bit over a year is fast from my research. I'm finishing A2 in year and so could say I'm A2.
i wanna learn Italian but idk how to start. which grammar and dictionary books , textbooks do you recommend ? in my opinion grammar is very important in language learning. so im looking for grammar books which are effective , explain the most and common grammar rules with various exercises.
You look so beautiful , calm and a very peaceful and unique way of talking , even though I haven't notice most of the things u said cuz I was just looking at this beautiful face hahaha
So I have been watching your videos recently and I to have been trying to learn Italian and French. I was wondering what you used or what website you looked at to conjugate the most commonly used verbs. I'd appreciate the help, thank you! I hope you have a blessed day :)
Thank you for sharing your resources! My favorite resource is youtube channel "Learn Italian with Lucrezia". Can you put a link to that list of Italian books that you've found?
OMG! Yes thank you for reminding me! There were so many links mentioned in this video that I forgot to include that one. Here you go: icebergproject.co/italian/2016/06/10-books-i-love-in-italian/
The old $7 language study plan guide is still available for purchase. This new course that is $29.99 is a more extensive study plan with all the activities planned out for you for 30 days.
When I need motivation to study I always watch one of your videos THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS I also want to learn Italian but now my priority is English... ❤❤❤
Hi Shea, I'm from Brazil and I've been learning English by myself since 2019, and I've been whatching your videos to practice my listening. I have a question, do you have italian offspring or something?
Hi there! I don't have any offspring that would mean I have kids. But I do have Italian ancestors. My mother's family is from Italy. My grandpa was born in Italy but unfortunately he died when I was very young :/
I mean....I notice a bunch of similarities in vocabulary and grammar structure. When I was in Italy I had a friend who only spoke Spanish and he communicated with our Italian waiter completely fine because they both understood each other. I think they’re pretty similar. French seems more different because of the difficult pronunciation.
I'm Portuguese and personally, I think Italian is quite similar to both Portuguese and Spanish. A lot of words are very similar between the three languages and the grammar structure as well. When I went to Spain I could understand pretty much everything people said, and while watching Italian videos and tv shows it's not difficult to understand most things.
Thanks for watching! What's your favorite resource to study Italian?
I am I like you so much

How can i know on which level of Italian speaking skill i am?
Just search Italian Language Placement test and there may be some free ones to try! Or you can take the test at Online Italian Club!

Thank you!!!
As a student, the workbook cost quite a bit >.< is it possible for students get it at its old price ($7)? 🥺
The old $7 language study plan guide is still available for purchase. This new course that is $29.99 is a more extensive study plan with all the activities planned out for you for 30 days.
Busuu is good for the earliest levels, but it fades quickly when moving from beginner to intermediate.
Yeah, I agree
I love to watch movies and repeat the dialogues
That's actually a really good idea!
When I need motivation to study I always watch one of your videos THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR AMAZING VIDEOS I also want to learn Italian but now my priority is English... ❤❤❤

Italian is very similar to Spanish. Isn't it?
Yes! Sometimes I mix up Spanish words I know with Italian when I'm talking with my tutor haha
Nope,only some words but generally is different, like French. This is only a cliché🤦🏻♀️
I mean....I notice a bunch of similarities in vocabulary and grammar structure. When I was in Italy I had a friend who only spoke Spanish and he communicated with our Italian waiter completely fine because they both understood each other. I think they’re pretty similar.
