Learn Italian http://ohalc.com Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:05:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Self Learning On Italian http://ohalc.com/italian-lessons/self-learning-on-italian http://ohalc.com/italian-lessons/self-learning-on-italian#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:25:42 +0000 admin http://ohalc.com/italian-lessons/self-learning-on-italian learning italian at home, listening to audio lessons on the way to the office using the CD player in the car or reading a book all about Italian are different examples of how one person can learn another language without getting formal lessons from any teacher or language professor.

If you are an interested learner, disregard your age or status in life; if you want to learn something out of pure interest and curiosity, you will reap your own rewards in the end. Also, it doesn’t matter if you have the most expensive language learning software or if you just read on available online resources and old books from the library, the important thing is that you keep on learning no matter what it takes.

The Italian language has a different accent compared to the English language, the Italian accent needed to be followed is also different, but the easy fact about the Italian language is the way each word is pronounce because it only follows the syllables and the way how each word is spelled. What else can help your progress in learning? To apply what you learn and what you are learning in the process in the most natural way possible is the answer.

Don’t expect to speak in perfect grammar. That is just too impossible. What you need to concentrate on instead is how much vocabulary you know about the language. You will for sure, commit mistakes and several attempts to talk to a native Italian speaker perfectly is going to be a failure, but that’s okay. You are a student and you’re meant to commit mistakes. No big deal.

The big event will come when you have been studying much about the Italian language and its culture. Exposing yourself to Italian movies, shows, music and history will be a great help to your fluency of the Italian language. You’ll learn the accent, you’ll acquire the most natural conversation, and most importantly, you’ll learn how it really feels to talk in fluent Italian. But until then, you will need to work hard on many aspects and not giving up is another.

It’s just for this reason that it’s important to trust institutes specialized in training for Italian language teachers which can certify your proficiency with a diploma.

To this end, the School Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, for years specialized in the field of Italian language teaching for foreigners, suggests some preparatory courses for the AIL (Accademia di Lingua Italiana) exams, with the consequent issuing of the Italian language Diploma “Firenze” which certifies the effective knowledge level of the Italian language teachers.

The “Preparatory Courses for AIL Exams” always start a month before the exam date, and next course is scheduled from 2nd to 27th March. Every course counts 6 daily lessons, it’s developed into 6 different levels and it can last from 4 to 24 weeks, depending on the candidate’s preparation level, who in turn will have the chance to establish his entrance level with a self-evaluation test.

Every class will be made up of no more than 12 elements, to optimize the time and quality of training.

In sum, to teach Italian as a foreign language is necessary to possess a preparation certified by professional and reliable organizations.

My question is: is it easier to learn spanish and THEN learn italian, or can I just learn both languages at the same time? Thanks so much! :)

If you want to learn to speak them, you should not start them at the same time. They’re similar enough that you’ll confuse them. Start with Spanish, and once you get to a level where you can use all the tenses comfortably, then start Italian.

They’re both wonderful languages. Best of luck.

Share your views. Someone says learning italian is a waste of time. I feel so sad because I love Italian culture. What should I do?
Extra Question ) My Chinese parents say , ” You are not living in Europe. Therefore, learning Italian is useless for you. ” They say I am a loser “You don’t know distinguish what is good or bad to you . ”

OMG, italian is NOT A WASTE OF TIME!!!!! but i totally believe you that someone on here would say that. everytime there is a question like ‘how do you say this in any language?’ or ‘what language do you speak?’ when me or other people say italian, people will thumb us down for no reason! italian is NOT a waste of time, they assume that because it is very close to latin, that italian is dead like latin. NOT SO!!!!!! and i went on vacation to california and i came into contact w/ many italians that spoke it!!! i swear!!! not to mention, i speak it!!! and i have italian family living in california (more in italy though). but also another misconception is that italian is only spoken in italy. italian is spoken in italy, switserland, the us, canada, argentina, france, germany, greece, even a little in africa and austrailia!!! it is only MOSTLY spoken in italy. but you should find SOME italian speakers evrywhere you go in the world. for crying out loud i found some in california!!!!! 70 million italian speakers in the world are still a lot of people to talk to! lol italian is beautiful!!! whoever said it is a waste is just jealous because they know everyone wants to vacation in italy or learn the language. not very many people WANT to learn say like spanish, they just do because they need it. ITALIAN IS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS CHINESE, SPANISH AND FRENCH!!!!! it is no less! it is beautiful, it is cool, and hip and chic, and wonderful, how dare they call it a waste of time!!!!!! it is not the worst language on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dedicate this song to italian:

Non è giusto, non è vero
Non è un mostraccione
solo un poveraccio
ma in italiano
se di più, l’italiano ha molto più!

OHHH!!!! and also, consider this: if italian is such a waste of time, why is it the 3rd or 4th most commonly taught language in the u.s.? do tell me!!! ANDDDD, if you know italian, you can actually get some!!!

oh and PS!!!: dude, you seriously need to call child services on your abusive parents!!!!

regarding marla’s answer: NEVER…..EVER use spanish as a substitute for italian. never ever just assume you can speak streight spanish in italy and italians will understand you 99%. they are not THAT similar. they are similar, but there are more differences than similarities. marla’s answer is the equivalent of saying “well, english and german are both germanic languages and are very similar. so i guess that means when i go to germany this summer, i’ll just speak english to the germans, and they’ll understand english 99%.’ italian and spanish are NOT the same language, neither are they almost the same. think i’m bulshìtting?:

let’s compare!

english: My head hurts.

italian: La mia testa fa male.

french: Ma tête fai mal.

spanish: Mi cabeza duele.

Put it on the table.

Mettelo sul tavolo.

Mette-vous sur table.

Ponelo en la mesa.

Look at my face.

Guarda la mia faccia.

Reguarde-vous ma face.

Mira mi cara.

My sister is beautiful.

Mia sorella è bella.

Ma soeur est belle.

Mi hermana es hermosa.

more
più
plus

again
ancora
encore

too much

cousin

etc.

italian and french are SO MUCH closer:

1. italian and french share 89% lexical similarity
2. italian – catalan: 87%
3. italian – sardinian: 85%
4. italian – SPANISH: 82%
5. italian – rheto-romance and portugues: 78%
6. italian – romanian: 77%

don’t just assume spanish italian are practically the same. spanish is only the FOURTH closest to italian, AFTER french, catalan, and sardinian!

So far everything that I have come across is not geared towards complete beginners. Any suggestions or assistance will be greatly appreciated.

You can use all the software and books in the world, but until you put yourself in a situation where you need to USE it, you won’t know it.

I didn’t learn italian until I actually went to Italy.

I thought all my life I was the greatest Italian American, but I didn’t know Jack Crap.
