I love this couple. They seem to understand exactly what it's like when you are a struggling beginner trying to speak Italian. I like all their other videos too. Quite agree about the last comment - Duolingo does not help you speak. Sadly it is cancelling all it's speaking classes from Jan 23. What a mistake.
Thanks. Love your channel. I’m taking a two months break away from work and the UK in Italy in February and March to learn more of the language as I’m just learning. You guys are amazing. Much appreciated
Ive been learning Italian via English on Duolingo for a year and this video rings SO true. Duolingo is definitely great for certain things. Conversational Italian is not one of them. For grammar, syntax, the technicalities of language, it’s quite good. For example, Duolingo NEVER teaches you how to say “My name is…” It also DOES teach you to say “Vengo da…” 🤦🏼♂️
Same here! I can tell you that there is an ant in the sugar and a cat on the table or identify the reflexive verb in the sentence but I can't begin to actually have even a simple conversation.
yes, I concur that Duolingo combined with Busuu is a great way to begin the journey. Duolingo is more playful but Busuu is great for expressions in everyday life and on which occasions Italians use them. For instance phrases they use for sports or sports attendance (ex. Tieni duro!, Non mollare!). But afterwards IMHO... you HAVE to attend a course of some kind. Go at a language school or internet courses etc. I am still 'afraid' to speak Italian... :(
HAHAHA! You are so right about the weather. I have heard that exact thing many times here in NY. Good weather all week then when Friday comes, it rains.
I'm teaching my dog Italian phrases (as best I can), in preparation for my pets and I moving to Toscana in May. I want her to understand what people say to her, and to be able to speak to local dogs myself🤣(e gatti). (You can clearly see my priorities here.) I would LOVE to see a video on common pet phrases. I've been improvising with things like siediti, buona cagnolina, vieni qui, stringi la mano... Sta imparando l'italiano piu velocemente di me.
Un altro video grandioso - grazie! Il mio insegnante di italiano ci chiede sempre: Cosa hai fatto oggi? Questa è anche una buona domanda per una conversazione.
Ho deciso di studiare il' italiano durante la chisura, é questa lezione é stato molto utile . Altre frasi che mi piace usare per la conversazione: co's hai fatto in questi giorni? Com'é andata la tua giornata? /com'é andata la tua giornata di lavoro? Grazie mille ragazzi. Saluti dall'irlanda.😊
I remember when I landed for the first time in Italy, and get lost a bit in the aeroport. I had stopping people and ask them "Scusi, Parla english". Italians cherish your effort to acquire their language..
Ho imparato ľ Italiano in qusto modo il mio primo lavoro è stato alla reception facevo fermare tutti gli ospiti e chiedevo loro di aiutami ad imparare la lingua e mi aiutavano veramente i segnori italiani sono molto simpatici. Un saluto a voi perchè siete anche simpatici un egiziano ama ĺ italia
Questo'episodio è molto interessante!!!! E tutti glialtri anche!!! Mi piace tanto imparare l'italiano con vuoi, siete tanti simpatici!!! Mi mette di buon umore! Grazie mille!!!!! :D
Grande!! Ho un amico che ti assomiglia un botto ed ogni volta che vedo un vostro video mi compiaccio. Nondimanco siete diretti ed esaustivi :D un abbraccio da Matteo Giovanni vostro follower
Un video bellissimo, come sempre.... Mille grazie. Siete bravissimi! Eh, Katie, può essere le undici in Italia, ma sono le cinque del pomeriggio in qualche parte del mondo. 😂😂😂
Your videos are great thank you. A little feedback would be. I watch on a TV the pace is very fast which only really gives me chance to read the English. When I pause, the youtube bar covers the subtitles, back button clears these. Then continue and clear the bars again, then miss something click back that's 10 secs start again. If the subtitles were higher it work way better but spoil your framing I guess. Also I suppose these are to push people towards your proper lesson's. It may help with that possibly if people find these more user friendly. No offence meant just feedback, I might just be me 🤣.
I'm sorry but I'm a little confused around the segment starting at 4:28. I thought that in Italy, they use the words, "cucina" and "cibo" much like in France, "cuisine" and "nourriture". In France, they love to talk about "la cuisine française," (or if you're a snob, "la gastronomie"). "Nourriture" has more a connotation like the word, "sustenance." But you're using "cibo" in cases where I would have said, "la cucina italiana." Have I been wrong?
@Andrea Olivieri ah okay! Thank you so much! I used the second person plural with “avete” but forgot to use it for the first sentence. Thank you so much for correcting me!
@@khushikaur1260 No, why? What does that 'A' stand for? 'A' is the preposition for 'at'. If you meant 'huh' or 'hah' (English expression of relief), you must spell it 'ah' like you did in your other comment above ('ah okay') 👋
@@Robycesa78 I see. I was thinking that with “a”, the sentence would be structured kind of like, “TO me, you all helped a lot.” -> a mi avete aiutato un sacco. That’s why I asked about putting “a” in front of “mi”. I guess I got a bit confused with Spanish haha. Thank you for clarifying!!
@@khushikaur1260 No no, wait, I understand what you mean. In this case you must say "A me". "Mi" and "A me" are fully interchangeable, but of course you can't intermix them (a mi doesn't exist). I gotta say that "a me" gives a different perception, it's more focused to yourself and your experience *opposite* to other people; so if you say "a me avete aiutato abbastanza" you're clarifying that it helped *only* you, and you *exclude* that it helped other people. While, if you say "mi avete aiutato abbastanza" you're talking in general for yourself, not referring to others. This is the feel. Strange to understand this, isn't it? There are more examples to this.
Great video? However are you guys based in London or Italy ? When talking of " il tempo" it looked as if you were sitting at t block of flats situated in Oxford Street?
I probably would get along well in Italy, because I love to EAT! and cook! :-D I must be part Italian (that I can't find in my family history), or was Italian in a past life, because of those things! LOL I would have no problem at all asking people about the local dishes of their region!
I almost always begin a conversation at offices with "Sto imperando italiano." Really, always. This is after 8 years in residence and many many lessons. I have trouble keeping up, but usually I understand the gist. Often am complimented, but really my italiano is poor.
Start listening to Italian content, articles, wiki pages, news, weather or podcasts. Ideally, something you are interested in or doing anyway. If you are into astronomy, follow space or science news in Italian, etc. You will pick vocabulary, sentence patterns and pronunciation. Text to speech technology is pretty good these days, also g translate is almost spot on. I have been using TTS since 2009 and my English capabilities went trough the roof in 2-3 years. I should have started learning other languages earlier, but I always had different priorities. Technically, I know 4 languages, but only two at a fluent level.
Ma dai, come mai avete dimenticato parlare di cani a gatti? È un argomento che si sa quando inizia ma mai quando finisce. Oppure sul Covid... eh sì, è noioso, ma adesso tutti abbiamo tantissimo da dire... Alla prossima! 🖐️😃
Buona lezione come sempre, ma quella parte su indicando che si sta imparando l'italiano funziona raramente. La maggior parte degli italiani non sono persone pazienti, soprattutto a Roma, e di solito non hanno alcun interesse ad ascoltare i tuoi errori.
ahhhh, orrore!!!! "settimana prossima". La lunga permanenza a Milano ti ha fatto dimenticare il corretto uso degli articoli? Dai!!! "La settimana prossima". L'uso di questa espressione senza articolo e' dialettale. Ricordati che sei di Napoli, dove questa espressione si usa correttamente. Video bellissimi, a parte questo "piccolo strafalcione"! PS questo e' un po' come i meridionali che si trasferiscono al Nord iniziano ad usare il "te" come pronome soggetto per non sentirsi esclusi. :-)
Good video but honestly you are talking too fast for a beginner to listen and read the text. Also don’t for the written words should be bigger. It is too small
Hi James, You are right. I think they are more for intermediate learners but it's still good for you I'm sure. Start with something more basic. I'd recommend Complete Italian or Beginners Italian from Teach Yourself (free audio in app), or Colloquial Italian from Routledge (free audio on web). An oral only course I liked a lot is Language Transfer, which is free online or app.
I love these lessons and when Brodie appears, I love them even more
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Per riassumere, per imparare bene a parlare italiano in un modo naturale ti serve un bicchiere di vino. Giusto?
Con un bicchiere di vino sicuramente diventa più facile 😊 basta fermarsi a uno 😆
con un bicchiere di vino tu parli qualunque lingua piu velocemente :)

se segue "a", "o" o "u" si pronuncia "k"
