How can I learn italian easily at home?
October 6, 2008 by admin · 6 Comments
I am 15 years old and have an italian background and family. At family functions, italian is somewhat of a primary language being spoken. I want to be able to understand what my relatives are saying, and with that comes the knowledge of communicating with them.
How can I learn to understand italian fast and easy? I have a mother who speaks fluent italian, so that may be of some assistance. Thanks
The BBC website has an excellent on-line Italian course with different levels and plenty of videos with dialogs explanations, vocabulary and grammar rules.
However, even if you get a grasp of the language basics, then you'll have to deal with the regional accent of your relatives, which in some cases (e.g. calabrese or pugliese) could be like learning the language again…
Good luck, anyway.
