Can I learn Italian and Spanish in the same time?
November 11, 2008 by admin · 8 Comments
I can speak Cantonese, Mandarin and Enfligh and I love Italian and Spanish/ Latin American culture.I've bought some Italian Audio CDs to teach myself. I haven't bought anything about Spanish. However, many people say I learn Italian is a waste a time. They say I should learn Spanish.
So, Can I learn both at the same time ? Or I learn Italian for 2/3 years then start to pick up Spanish?
Yes you can! Once you become fluent in one of them.. the other will be much easier, because they are very similar.
However, I do recommend you to first start with just one, and then after 6 months or so, start with the other.
Muy buena suerte!
How can I learn Italian more quickly, since I already know French and Spanish?
November 9, 2008 by admin · 3 Comments
I'm looking for some kind of Italian learning program that caters to people who already speak other Romance languages, or at least moves quite quickly. I'm especially looking for something I can listen to in the car, since I have a very heavy commute… I want to avoid something like the Pimsleur program, I have it now and it's driving me crazy since it repeats everything so many times; and I can already understand Italian, for the most part, I just can't speak it.
Thanks!
if u really interested in italian, i suggest u better buy 'digital publishing' italiano 1. there are two versions of them: V10 and V11. V10 is designed for a normal computer, means u will not be able to play it without CD. V11 is the other way.
the software is not expensive and very helpful.
ciao-

Hi
Does anyone know somewhere in Italy that I can go learn italian that is close to skiing. I am hoping to go in January and planning on staying in Florence for 3 weeks to learn italian then wanted to go to another school.
Thanks!
Jess
There are a couple of ski resorts not far from Florence. Ever heard of Abetone or Abbadia San Salvatore?
You could go there to ski on weekends, just be sure to reserve your hotel rooms well in advance, as the place tends to be packed during the holiday season (which in Italy lasts until January 6th).

What is the best way to learn Italian?

Besides the obvious, spending time in Italy, what is the best way to learn Italian and be able to write and speak it fairly well?
Thanks for your help! =]
Enrol yourself in a class taught by an Italian native speaker … that's how I learned.
Then, when you've done the basics of grammar, try to read a short, simple novel (with the aid of a dictionary and a notebook), to expand your vocabulary.
Then do lots more reading, writing and speaking, and continue to attend classes regularly and do your homework.
Go on study holidays for 1-2 weeks a year in Italy (there are lots of language schools).
Get a monolingual grammar exercise book written in Italian like "Esercizi" and work your way through all the exercises several times.
Once you're intermediate-to-advanced, install Italian satellite TV (Hotbird 2) – ask your aerial man – five channels free to view! … If you're really determined, cut yourself off from all English-language broadcast media and listen to Italian TV every day.
Enjoy the wonders of Italian cinema available on DVD, without using the subtitles.
Participate in Answers Italia to improve your writing.
And there are a couple of psychological attitudes that are indispensable to second language acquisition …
firstly, determination … think hare and tortoise – don't expect miracles, it takes time, stickability and patience to learn a language successfully, so prepare yourself for a long haul – it's better to do the basics slowly and very thoroughly than rush it like a bull at a gate – and don't trust anything that says "learn Italian in a week" (or three months) on the cover!
secondly, enjoyment … the greatest language learners are children, so while taking your success goal seriously, take the opportunity to regress a bit … the best teachers use role play in class – and never be ashamed to ask dumb questions.

How do I learn Italian fast?

I am just a farm boy, and I met this Italian supermodel. I know she really likes me, and i have only one chance to impress her. what are some good ways to learn Italian fast?
It’ll help if you already know a romance language like French or (even better) Spanish. Learn the pronounciation of all the different sounds, it doesn’t take long because the pronounciation is a lot easier and more regular than English. Next learn how to conjugate the -are, -ire and -ere verbs, and learn a few irregular but important ones, like avere and essere. Also learn the genders and how they change in the plural. All of this will only require writing out a few lists and learning them, then work on building your vocabulary. You could become conversational in less than a week if you stick at it and put the time in. Good luck!
