Talk Italian to Learn Italian!

September 13th, 2008

* These short lessons are for those who want to learn a few useful italian phrases, as well as current italian students learning the rich and beautiful language of italy!

I am a student learning italian as well, and have being for around 3 months (tre mesi!) Please correct me if you feel I have made any mistakes.

Below is the vocab that you may want to cover after you have viewed the video, because learning to speak italian is wonderful, however it is also important to learn to read and write in italian too!

*please note also that there are formal and informal ways to speak italian, just like in english. I will be focussing on formal phrases.

    it sounds like “lay” here because of the ‘le’ at the end but the ‘e’ at the end ultimately sounds the same , kinda like the ‘a’ in english.

    you begin your …
    you begin your video with “ciao come sta”, this form is not used in italy becouse ciao is informal ad the the 3rd person singular “sta” is formal.
    you can begin with “ciao, come stai” if you want to be informal or you can use “buongiorno, come sta” to be formal.
    to many people you can say “ciao, come state” (informal) or “buongiorno, come state” (formal).
    another thing, don’t say “scusi” but use “scusate”, you’re not speaking to only one person.
    Good Luck and go on.
