Sign up to Babbel today to get 50% off 6 months for a limited time only: bit.ly/Xiaomanyc Today I attempted to learn to speak Italian in 24 hours (actually just 12 hours but 24 hours sounds better in the title). I teamed up with lots of native Italian speakers to try and tackle this beautiful and fascinating Romance language and I was able to make significant progress in just one day, particularly because I already spoke Spanish - they are really similar! I loved learning the language so much that I actually plan on continuing to learn the language after the challenge (with Babbel, actually!).

@ldx8492 3 года назад

As it is for almost any language, there is a barrier between speaking it/understanding it with seemingly no problems to *actually* think and construct complex thoughts, continuously (i.e. being proficient). The intricacies of the grammar rules are present as well, and really come back to bother you. But all in all, he's extremely good and he's learned a lot in such a limited time! Just to show a couple tricky thing about Italian, we have Princìpi/Prìncipi -> change one accent and the meaning changes completely (principles/princes) Zolla/Zolletta -> the suffix "-etta" means "lil" but those words are totally uncorrelated (the first is a synonym for 'hole', the next is a small dry biscuit) Prefixes and particle: Rincasare/Rivolgere -> those are different from Casare (meaningless word)/Volgere (one of hundreds of ways to say 'going to', but applied only to inanimate objects "il racconto volge al termine" is "the tale is going to end") Just to show, this is because I don't believe there is a "easy" or "hard" language, rather, there are levels of difficulty to encounter in every language!

Washington Neves I did about an hour per day, but in the last few months I was less consistent. There were some days where I wouldn’t feel like studying Italian, and I feel like that hindered me from doing as well as I could have. I managed to have two 30 minute conversations on Italki without much strain, but I honestly wasn’t satisfied with my level. Nowadays, I’m slowly starting to build it up again.

11:15 don't be surprised man.

If you would like to learn an Italian dialect, I suggest you go based on which ones you like the sound of, but good luck if you're going to learn the sardinian dialect. That's really and I mean REALLY challenging to learn and speak fluently. Ps. I'm Italian and, to me, Xiaoma speaks really well, for having studied only 1 day.

@fabriziorigutti5424 3 года назад

To be precise 'idioma' is still existing in the Italian vocabulary but is a kind of aulic literary term (in Italy is never used). The truth is that in this specific context 'idioma' is the spanish translation for 'language'. We sai 'lingua'. So the correct version is: "Io penso che l'italiano SIA (congiuntivo presente del verbo *essere*, terza persona) una LINGUA difficile". :)

@@teo0444 every parts of the phrase has to fit with the musicality of the sentence. If you hear, the parts of the sentence, change depending on the words you use. Spanish is way easier because they use less articles and grammatical parts. The first thing you usually do, is learning the verbs and names. And then you learn how to fit articles, etc. my guess tho. I found english very easy to learn. It makes sense it is one of the most spoken language in the world, because the articles are 2 only and verbs are way easier to learn. I love it.

His speech might sound "good" simply because he knows some Spanish, which can be heard in some sentences.
