Learn Italian CD

June 14th, 2009

Italian (”Italianio”), nicknamed “the gentle language” (”il parlar gentile”) by native speakers, is the official language of Italy and San Marino, and one of four official languages spoken in Switzerland. Italian is also spoken in parts of Croatia (Istria) and Slovenia (Pirano, Isola d’Istria and Capodistria), as well as the Vatican City. Italian is also an official language of the European Union, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (a sovereign Catholic order based in Rome, Italy).

There are obviously many advantages to be gained by learning Italian. If you want to visit Italy (or other Italian speaking regions), whether for vacation or for business, knowing the language will certainly make your life easier! In the case of a vacation, you’re sure to have a more enjoyable trip if you can converse with the natives in their own language. In the case of business, knowing the language may very well be essential - how else will you be able to interact with Italian-speaking coworkers, customers and suppliers?

The good news is that there have never before been so many different resources, aids and language learning tools that can assist you in mastering the Italian language. Of course, you’re probably aware of books and audio courses, but there are many other resources too; Italian learning web sites, and, of course, a variety of software that you can get on CD-ROM (for both Apple Macintosh computers and PCs running the Microsoft Windows operating system) such as the incredibly popular Rosetta Stone Italian software.

Learn Italian Online

March 29th, 2009

The Italian language is spoken by approximately 63 million people. The majority of Italian speakers live in Italy itself, but the language is also the official language of San Marino, one of four official languages (along with French, German and Romansh) of Switzerland, and a recognized official language of the Italian national community in Slovenia. Additionally, Italian is widely spoken in the Vatican City, although Latin is the official language, and Italian is also spoken in a variety of other communities around the world.

Learning Italian is of course useful if you intend to visit Italy or another Italian-speaking area. If you are going for a vacation, you will enjoy it more if you can speak to the natives in their own tongue, and it goes without saying that knowing the language is a great advantage if doing business with Italian speakers. Furthermore Italian is something of an a Lingua Franca in certain areas of life - its importance in the Vatican City (and therefore to the Roman Catholic Church) has already been mentioned, but the Italian language is also highly important in some sports (including motor racing and soccer), and in some areas of the arts (for example, fashion, opera, and some visual arts).

So having decided to learn Italian, how should you get started? One option is of course to take the traditional route - attend a language learning class. However, going to classes is not an option for everyone - it may not fit your schedule, or you may simply prefer to learn in the comfort of your own home. In this case, your computer may well offer the ideal solution - there are a wide variety of Italian language learning courses that you can get for your PC. These often incorporate audio, visual, and interactive elements, and generally have the great advantage of allowing you to work through them at your own pace. Additionally, it is even possible to choose a course that is delivered entirely via the Internet, which means that you don’t have to wait for course materials to be delivered, or for a semester to start, you just sign-up through a web site, and can begin immediately.

I Want to Learn Italian - Where Do I Start?

March 24th, 2009

So you’ve been saying to yourself, “I want to learn Italian.” However, once you take a look at all the programs out there, you might have second thoughts. It can be pretty hard to figure out what the best way to learn the language is when there are so many options! Should you take a class, buy language CDs, a computer program, or some other method? Let’s take a look at the reasons you might say “I want to learn Italian” and help you decide how to do it.

Italy is an old country, with a long history dating from before the Roman period. It’s full of fascinating cultural artifacts, literature, poetry, theater and art. Of course, without learning the language, you won’t understand a lot of it. After all, relying on translations keeps you from understanding the beauty of the original composition. Even if you want to check out the art and architecture of this great country, relying on others to speak Italian puts you at a real disadvantage.

Learning a second language has some real benefits, no matter what it is. You’ll be able to communicate with many other people, you’ll find out about things you never would have encountered before, and you could even learn a little about your own language, too. A second language can open up new opportunities for friendships, and even expand your employment options. People who speak more than one language are almost always more employable than people who only know their native tongue.

What opportunities are there to someone who also speaks Italian? Companies in Italy in your specialty may be interested in hiring you, especially if you can provide good customer service. You can also work in areas where customers and clients speak mostly Italian or have imperfect English. They’ll be happy to see someone who can speak to and understand them more clearly. There’s also always translation work.

Remember that Italy is full of different cultures, from Naples to Sicily, and that each of those regions will have its own flavor of the language. Even though the whole country speaks Italian, you may find that there are nuances to each area. That means you shouldn’t expect to exactly understand everyone you meet after just one language course. However, it can be a big help.

Total immersion is probably the best way to learn the language, but if you want to learn Italian and don’t have the time to spend on vacation in Italy, there are other options. Online courses are becoming very popular, since there are no discs to keep track of and delivery of the lessons is extremely easy. If you keep saying “I want to learn Italian”, don’t just talk about it. Do something! Take a look at all your options and find the course that’s right for you.

Bottom line is this: You want to learn Italian but you don’t know where to start.The Rocket people are the market leaders in language tuition. Proven success rate and money back guarantee. So, if you want to FINALLY see some success in your language learning endeavors then you MUST go to the site below.Otherwise you are just going to keep spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.

The IL DAGO Official History Clip, TodayTonight, July 20, 2007

WATCH out, Il Divo !!
This NEW SUPERGROUP is ready to take over the world, one souvlaki-loving comedy fan at a time. The four boys have the suits, the look, the ethnicity to deliver their own style and operatic solos.

The stars of The IL Dago Comedy Stage Show currently touring Australia, are, Joe Avati, George Kapiniaris, Simon Palomares and Nish Selvadurai. The IL Dago show is presented in English and all the performers do their best to make sure that all audiences are offended. They parody as many boy groups as they can… especially IL Divo!

History:

Simon Palomares was one of the creators and stars, along with George Kapiniaris, of the Wogs Out of Work comedy stage show, which later evolved into the Acropolis Now TV series (5 Seasons!).

The original Wogs Out of Work comedy stage show in the 1980’s - is now widely regarded as the start of ethnic stage comedy - that included several jokes/routines with a bilingual delivery.

Probably the worlds most famous Italian Bilingual Comedian is Joe Avati. Joe has presented his Bi-Lingual Comedy Show in Canada, USA, England and his home country of Australia. Joe’s bilingual show consisted of stories told in English with an Italian (Spoken) punchline.

Joe took several months off the road to re-write many of his stories in English for the IL Dago Comedy Stage Show.

New to Ethnic Comedy is Sri Lankan Australian comic Nish Selvadurai who recounts his experiences growing up in Australia with an ethnic background.

Highlights of my Sicilian Sailing Trip

November 30th, 2008

What a concept - learning Italian on a sailboat!!! In May of 2007 I did just that: with 4 other Italian students I boarded the Solitaire II, a 4-cabin sailboat, to study Italian sailing through the beautiful Eolian Islands of Sicily. We were in the capable hands of Francesco, our captain, and Franco, a gifted guitar player, both of them teachers from the Laboratorio Linguisitico Italian Language School in Milazzo, Sicily.

We spent a whole week sailing through gorgeous places such as Lipari, Salina, Stromboli, Panarea and Vulcano, and we had Italian lessons on the boat or in various outdoor bar patios on different islands overlooking the Mediterranean.

Here is a tiny selection of clips from a trip of a lifetime.

Repair of Bone

November 30th, 2008

Repair of Bone

The fracture of a bone is usually caused by direct violence or by a strong twisting strain. When a bone fractures the two fragments separate and in so doing tear the arteries in the Haversian systems that cross the fracture line. This damage results in the leakage of blood into the fracture, where it is trapped and soon clots. After a short time, the Haversian arteries go into spasm, causing the death of active bone cells not only at the fracture site, but also for some distance along the shaft. About two days after the break, the blood clot is invaded by capillaries and fibroblasts. The fibroblasts differentiate into bone-forming cells, or osteoblasts, and cells that form periosteal tissue on the outside of the bone. New tissue, called callus, surrounds the fracture and replaces the dead bone. The dead bone is absorbed and replaced by new bone, formed by the osteoblasts in the callus, which is remodeled by cells, called osteoclasts, to its original shape. This remodeling process is so effective that after a few months it is difficult to detect the fracture site.

Why is it that black people only have a black month for their history?

November 29th, 2008

You dont hear Italian History month, Chinese History month and i can go on and on, but with black people WE DO(Black History Month) and i would like to kno why……to me its ashame how our history has been forgotten and lost!!!!

I think black history month does more to encourage separation and prejudice then promote understanding of the black race. Imagine a Nazi month or a White month remembering the good old days of slavery… It wouldn't be perceived as positive, nor should it be!!! Misguided…that is what i think///

How do you say this in ITALIAN (Job interview)?

November 29th, 2008

I'll go to a job interview at an italian culture/business related company. The interview'll bemore likely be conducted in my language, but since it's an italian culture/business related company, I want to be prepared to say something in italian in case they tell me to talk about something in Italian. Could someone tell me how to say the following in CORRECT Italian?

"I'm very interested in art and cultural exchange, and that's why I applied for your company. If I am hired, I will learn and acquire all the skills and knowledge required for the job ASAP and do my best to make a contribution to this company.
As for Italian, I studied the language at university and used it on a daily basis at an Italian company I worked for. Although I have not spoken Italian for more than 10 years now, I started studying it from the day I sent my resume to you and will continue doing in order to do my job properly. I would appreciate it if you could give positive consideratin to hire me."
I meant "continue doing so (continue studying Italian)"

Hello.

I could help you.

"Sono molto interessato nell'arte e lo scambio culturale, e ciò è perché ho fatto domanda per la sua società. Se sono assunto, imparerò ed acquisirò tutte le abilità e la conoscenza richieste per il lavoro al piu presto possibile, di fare il mio meglio di fare un contributo a questa società. Quanto all'italiano, ha studiato la lingua all'università e l'ha usato su una base quotidiana a una società italiana che ha lavorato per. Sebbene non ho parlato l'italiano per più di 10 anni adesso, ho cominciato lo studio esso dal giorno ho inviato il mio riprende a lei e continuerà a fare per fare il mio lavoro correttamente. L'apprezzerei se lei potrebbe dare il consideratin a positivo per me assumere".

Bocca al lupo! (means good luck in Italian)
