I started Duolingo in advance of our trip to Italy and luckily stumbled across your IME videos. Dude! You are amazing!! You are addressing ALL of the many questions I have after doing Duolingo! Grazie mille!!!
after doing about 300 lessons on duolingo for italian, I gotta say the stuff you're teaching here so far is invaluable and adding so much content to italian that I wasn't getting from duolingo. Im slowly understanding more of what my Nonna says so thanks Manu!

Bro, been listening to you a good three years regular. My Italian is much better then it was then, but you're English, though always good, now it seems as you have better sounding, less accented English, as though you moved to Chicago when you were about 14 years old. Love your videos, cumpa. Grazie 🙏🏻
I love how instead of giving us words to memorize like anyone else on RUclips you tell us details they wouldn't like so far, feminine and masculine words and how to recognize them, pronunciation, etc!
Hi, there! My 4 y old son is interested now after watching your videos , we speak 5 languages and we have started learning our 6th language which is İtalian ❤ thank you Manu you’re an excellent teacher 🎉
That's amazing! 🤩 Learning Italian all the way from Iran-che bello! 🌍💬 We're so happy you're enjoying our videos! Keep up the great work, you're doing fantastico! 🙌✨
Your way of teaching Italian is very good. As an English Language teacher, knowing English helps me a lot since they have 60 percent in common in the means of vocabulary. And I have the advantage of being a native Turkish speaker, because I think Italian and Turkish have the rest 40 percent in common 😊 Thanks for your effort
I chose to learn beginner-level Italian for my DofE award (award you can do in England and some other countries) because of a school trip to Italy later on in the year. Well, that was cancelled lol, but by that time I’d already put money into buying textbooks and stuff so I didn’t really want to change it. Even though I did continue, I was severely unmotivated (plus the textbook was an absolute bore!), and ended up putting off completing the final few hours of study for literal months. I decided to finally sit down and do some sort of study, and found these videos. I’m so sad that I didn’t find you earlier on because I would have learnt so much more! You’re such a good teacher Manu! Grazie
Thank you so much for sharing your story! We're sorry to hear that your school trip to Italy was cancelled, but we're glad you decided to stick with learning Italian despite the challenges 😍💪
Hey Manu, really nice and reasonable lessons. I also found out that Italian has almost the same vowels as Ukraininan language, and that's why it is easy for us to speak your language. Your lessons are very useful for Ukrainians who speaks English. Thanks!
This is amazing! It's interesting how you still incorporate English alphabet letters in some words instead of just rewriting them. For example turning Walter into Valter. Very educational video! Thank you 🎉
This is one of the moments when I felt happy that English is not my mother tongue😂 because I easily can pronounce Italian letters, all the vowels are like arabic, the consinent L, D, T are the same and the best part is that I can roll the R 😂😍💃🥳🥳 That's an amazing feeling. Thank you, amazing teacher for the amazing seriel♥️
@@italymadeeasy Yes I can🙈 I think English speakers find it hard because the normal English "R" is already different. The tongue doesn't touch the roof of the mouth, so I think it will be useful for them to follow your way and practice "ra - re - ri - ro - ru" but not with rolled R just let their tongue touch the roof of the mouth and then the double "rr" is going to be rolled automatically. And that's why rolling R is easy for me because the Arabic normal and short R is the same to Italian. The only difference is that it's not necessary in Arabic it just happens when it's double "rr" or next to a constant like "RL in parlo", "PR" or "TR" mostly. The only hard part for me is if I have to roll it in the beginning of the word like "ragazza", here I have to be careful and keep repeating rrrrrrrr in mind because it doesn't come automatically😂 Sorry for this long text but I'm just really excited 🥹🙈😍😍 I reached lesson 16 in 3 days and I keep listening to the podcasts and every time I understand more than before, I'm really grateful for this♥️♥️
Hey manu,u are so good at this Am from Nigeria and I just started learning yesterday. Have gained a lot from ur teaching Thanks for taking ur time to do this videos It's really helped a lot Love u mannu,muah♥
Welcome on board - I'm grateful to be able to help you all the way to Nigeria! Amazing! Thank you for being here with us, I wish you the best on your journey to learn Italian 🤩
I like that I finally see the same open syllables as in Russian. 😁 Therefore, the sounds are easy to learn. Italian sounds are more open in pronunciation than English ones, but in Russian we pronounce it in much the same way.
A couple of things. In Italian documents (such as indexes of names) you will come across the missing letters. Most likely (as Manu indicates) with foreign names. Also in older documents you can find "j" in place of "i" even in some Italian surnames. I think this is because the documents were originally in Latin. So you will find even first names like Ioannes/Joannes "John" (Giovanni in Italian) or "Ioseph/Joseph" (Giuseppe in Italian). Also wondering if we have names that have these missing letters should we spell our names in introductions? Or even the places where we live if they are not well known? Or should we just "Italianize" those words? And leave it at that? Grazie mille!
Grazie mille! We are glad you appreciate our videos 🤗. If you're interested in learning Italian, we recommend visiting our comprehensive platform, www.italymadeeasy.com. 🥰🇮🇹
My japanese gets in my way and instead of your way, I always say like ma mi mu me mo or like la li lu le lo :D But learning with syllables is absolutely helpful, and this is the part that my japanese helps me
English is my first language, but I think I was made to speak Italian. I've always been able to roll my r's well. I've also been saying perfecto since I was a bambino.😂
What about the words you have used yourself in the course so far already that have one of the consonants that according to you don't exist in Italian, like xilofono? Does that count as a "word from another language"? The way the word is written and spoken sounds very Italian to me.
I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I realized that learning Italian feels like I went back to preschool... and some words are exactly the same, just with different intonation... so funny
Manu, would you say that L in Italian is softer than the English L? Because when I started speaking English, I was told my L is too soft. Seems like it’s the case here as well unless I’m getting it wrong.
I know I am on just lesson 4, but is there a quick tip/rule for making words plural? Dog-dogs, I saw cane-cani would it be a rule to change words that end with an E to an I?
It is not part of the official alphabet. You will see this concept in other languages that use some foreign words (like some English words in Asian languages).

14:10 This explains what letters were missing in your alphabet. Grazie, a domani.

Grazie mille signore 🙏🙏

Un’altra bella lezione!
Hai ragione 💯
Grazie!
Grazie mille!
hahaha the family guy episode made me laugh :XD
Thank you 😊
❤️ thank you for your support, Mwanatz!
I have tried to learn Italian.I would say
I have 2 out of 10 for trying.Not to
worry though.❤️.
English is my first language, but I think I was made to speak Italian. I've always been able to roll my r's well. I've also been saying perfecto since I was a bambino.😂
There you go! You are in the right place then 🤩
Perfecto does not exist in Italian. They say perfetto.
Bravo
😍Grazie mille per il tuo commento, Valentine!
grazie a te.....
You choose a brilliant way to teach us thanks alot sir I learn alot of from your videos
Grazie Susan, we are happy to help you improving your Italian
Ciao! Thank YOU, we are glad to have you here 😄
yea the R sound in american english is called "retroflex" (the tip of the tongue curled up on like postalveolar).
Thanks, this is really interesting! 🥰
What about the words you have used yourself in the course so far already that have one of the consonants that according to you don't exist in Italian, like xilofono? Does that count as a "word from another language"? The way the word is written and spoken sounds very Italian to me.
Words with X are often of Greek origin.
Manu for J what about the town lajatico. Thanks
Another great video. I have problems with “sb” and “gli.”
Ciao Carol, grazie! ❤
Italian is so easy for Persian speakers.
Knowing Persian and English makes it reallyyyy easier
Interesting
I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I realized that learning Italian feels like I went back to preschool... and some words are exactly the same, just with different intonation... so funny
🤗 thank you for learning with us!
The lion head! 😂😂😂
Manu, would you say that L in Italian is softer than the English L?
Because when I started speaking English, I was told my L is too soft. Seems like it’s the case here as well unless I’m getting it wrong.
Funny how being Polish is a superpower when it comes to pronunciation of other languages.
4:47 FUI h is not pronounced in English spoken in England but is pronounced in Scotland.
Manu, what do you recommend for learning just straight up vocabulary for Italian?
Ciao! In our channel you'll find a Playlist "Italian Words" where we focus on vocabulary ☺️ ruclips.net/video/n1XI_QmUiRY/видео.html
1:22 "Ba be bi bo bu" - almost like Japanese - "Ba bi bu be bo" :)
I think you forgot to cover c at the end
really good series❤，but are there any tips to pronounce r?
Ciao Matt! Check out this video about how to roll your R ❤️ ruclips.net/video/2WQhC7ohYHQ/видео.html
Buona sera! Per quanto tempo devo terminare il corso?
Ciao Carlos! Il corso è composto da 30 lezioni, puoi decidere tu in quanto tempo terminare il corso. Noi consigliamo una lezione al giorno! 😍
I know I am on just lesson 4, but is there a quick tip/rule for making words plural? Dog-dogs, I saw cane-cani would it be a rule to change words that end with an E to an I?
Yes, we'll deepen the plural, in Italian, in the next lessons of this "Beginner Italian Course", J-View!😍
What about C?
The fact that italian words don't have the letter K which is sooo common in other languages is really interesting
DA LI DA 😄😄
👋😌 ciao!!
ciao manu is H silent is that why we dont hear it has much when we say for example "ho siete" i hope i am correct with this
ciao Alessandro! yes, H is silent in Italian 🙂
In English, the pronunciation of "L" is a subvocal, produced low in the throat.
He said x does not really exist what is with xilofono
It is not part of the official alphabet.
You will see this concept in other languages that use some foreign words (like some English words in Asian languages).
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lesson 6 done R are easy for Spanish speakers
Ci vediamo nella prossima lezione 🎉
ciao Maria, bravissima! ci vediamo domani 😎💪
@@italymadeeasy grazie, ci vediamo
❤️
R sounds like a Flapping T in American English in these: little, party, let it go, etc
The R in Italian pronunciation is a “trill” and not rolled
A rolled R is an alveolar trill. They're the same thing. What would be different is a uvular fracative
you didnt come back for consonant C 😢
Hold on until lesson 24! We do come back for consonant C 😎
The R is so tricky.
The more languages you speak the easier any other language will be for you
That's interesting, Julien! Matter of practice🤗
So glad that I'm Iranian 🤣we pronounce R like Italians
🤩 yes, it will be easier for you!
