When people ask me “why Italian?” I tell them “well I had to start somewhere.” Our brains have the capacity to learn multiple languages and it only gets easier as you go
WOW YOR ITALIAN IS AMAZING!!!! Great job 😍 honestly, who cares if a language isn't popular for career stuff! If you love it, go for it!!!!!!! EDIT: Also, I hate how in the US language learning isn't really emphasized! Despite that, I am passionate and am learning 3 languages and I hope to inspire others to learn languages as well 💗
Ahh thank you so much! Yeah I always support anyone who wants to learn a language for any reason, if you have the passion, you can and should go for it! Good on us for learning more languages, I’m glad we can inspire others to hopefully do the same 😊🥳🎉
Wow!! Bravissima! Ciao, Sono coreana(corea del sud) e vivo in Corea. Mi piace molto la cultura, la storia, il cibo e la musica d'Italia. 😻 Ho imparato l'Italiano per 4 mesi da sola, poi adesso sto imparando con un'insegnante. Shea, il tuo italiano è veramente bellissimo!👏👍 Buona giornata e buon mercoledì 😊
Tu parli molto bene. Bravissimo 👏 Io studio la lingua italiana da quattro mesi e io capisco quasi tutto con sottotitoli italiani 😁 Grazie per questo video e altri videi in italiano!!
This video was so helpful and inspiring to watch. I’m at A1 and really enjoyed listening to you speak. I would LOVE to hear more Italian speaking videos from you!!!
Since Mexico is next to US I learned english my whole life growing up, so as for "usefulness" I already have Spanish and English for my basic needs (work, studies and lots of travel). French hasn't been useful in my life at all but I enjoyed learning it, I'm currently studying German which I'll need for survival because I want to keep studying and work in that language and even with 0 uses in my life I still studied Japanese because it's one of my favorite languages and I simply love it and the culture ❤
Shea, you improved so much! Great job 🤩 Regarding Bologna being empty in August, that happens for two main reasons: as you said, Italians mainly have two weeks of holidays and that's usually in August (also when most companies close) and then I don't know if you noticed how hot and humid is the air in town, so yeah people rush to the seaside, hills and mountains to avoid melting 😂 Greetings from the hills surrounding Bologna 👋
Oh my gosh your progress is so amazing and inspiring Shea! You've come such a long way, and it's really apparent the ease and spontaneity with which you speak Italian! You're definitely in the fluent range now and you're only going to get better!!! I wish you all the best for reaching C1 🎉🎉🎉
Great video Shea! I know you were concerned about your accent, but its really not strong at all, it's clear that you're spent time working on the correct Italian pronunciation (from another English mother tongue trying to do the same!). Brava! 🤩
Well done Shea! Great to see your confidence growing 👍 on a side note, I did my degree in French and Italian purely as I loved languages and I didn't know for sure which career I would end up in. I took a job in investment banking, purely as it required fluency in italian and I'm still working in this sector 20 years later and love it! I still use Italian with colleagues and clients so it all worked out for me career-wise. You never know where it will take you but if you love it, you won't go wrong 😊
Beh, devo dire che il tuo italiano è molto comprensibile e riesci a farti capire molto bene. Credo che ancora poche settimane e migliorerai molto, si vede che sei talentuosa per imparare la lingua che probabilmente ti è sempre piaciuta. Brava
Love this! Great work ! Hope you are still there . I love Italy too and learning Italian and reading in Italian. I speak to a lovely Italian teacher on Skype and I am reading in Italian and have started listening more to real world Italian. Love your tips and relaxed approach. Great work ❤❤
Your italian is improving so well!!! You speak pretty fluently too!!! Congrats!! I feel happy for you, living the life your want, and going for your Dreams!!
I haven't finished your video yet but I will do after writing this - I just wanted to say how wonderful it is that you're being vulnerable sharing your Italian progress with us ❤️❤️ you're doing such a wonderful job and I love seeing your progress 😊 if you get any hateful comments, just ignore them because you're doing wonderfully and i love listening to you because I'm able to understand everything you're saying and it helps me to reflect on my own progress 😃 I hope you're loving Italy and good luck with the rest of your time there ❤️
Brava Shea. Il tuo italiano è già piuttosto fluente e si vede che sei migliorata moltissimo. Condivido quello che hai detto sullo studio di una lingua straniera: farlo perché ti piace e non perché ti serve è alla base per impararla in fretta perché ci puoi mettere dentro tutta la passione che hai. Ora, se posso permettermi un piccolo consiglio, ti direi di parlare il più possibile in italiano con i madrelingua e farti subito correggere i piccoli errori che potresti fare mentre parli. Ciao
Finally 🤩 Un sacco di domande interessanti Shea 🤔🤔😎 4 cose: 1)ogni lingua è utile!. Se mi piace quella lingua e mi interessa quella cultura, per me quella lingua è utile!. 2) trovare un appartamento in affitto è uno struggle specie nelle grandi città 🥲 3) sul cibo, frutta e verdura da consumare subito si 😁 Sui piatti italiani, c’è poco da dire. Alta qualità 🔥 4) “come mai” stra usato! Questo è Il bello di avere conversazioni nella vita reale 😎 impari espressioni ogni due per tre! Ti sei fatta capire super bene e stai migliorando tantissimo 😎🔥 Contento che tu abbia deciso di rimanere ancora per altri sei mesi! Vedrai che migliorerai ancora 😌
This was so heartwarming and inspiring to watch, hearing you speak Italian is so cool! And it's amazing to hear how much you're enjoying Italy! It's going to be amazing to see how much more your skills improve by next May!
complimenti Shea! parli molto bene, naturale e posso dire che aprezzo tanto il lavoro che hai fatto per arrivare in questo punto. Anch'io imparo italiano e mi piace tantissimo la cultura italiana, il cibo, il calcio, la musica e quasi tuttto.
Sono profondamente soddisfatto della velocità e della destrezza con cui parli, hai dato l'esempio a molti sull'effetto dell'immersione nell'apprendimento delle lingue, congratulazioni!
Congratulations on your progress and on your plan for staying another 6 months! While learning French I found that going from watching with subtitles to no subtitles was difficult depending on the type of content. With news and documentaries it was fairly easy. With dramas it was very hard. I think you’ll find it a gradual process, especially with all the different accents and dialects in Italy.
Wow your Italian sounds so good, hun. I'm nobody but I'm proud of you and I hope I can improve my Italian and Croatian better. Who cares if we learn less popular language? If we love it, just go for it. People question me a lot of why I learn Croatian because this is not a popular language and nobody uses it here. I did observation before picking them. Pronounciation is my first consideration whether it suits my tounge or difficult. Besides, I have Italian and Bosnian friends. I really enjoyed your video.
Thank you! Exactly, you don't need to prove to someone else why you're learning a language. If you enjoy it and it's a nice challenge, that's still a great reason to learn! Good luck with your studying! Thank you for watching :)
Hi Cara.... i like your Italian speaking. I have a basic italian language and I love it and your speaking I can learn from it clearly. I hope I can talk Italian like you eventhough I don't live there. I am in Indonesia (near Bali island).
We have so much in common! Living in Los Angeles right now and if there’s one thing I could spend my life doing is learning every language in the world 😍
This was so enjoyable Shea! I find that I learn more French when I speak to people versus using a textbook. I use my textbook for a little grammar exercise every now and then. It is cool that you can level up in your Italian.
Complimenti, hai fatto un sacco di progressi! Mi fa piacere tu voglia rimanere qui in Italia per imparare meglio la lingua. Ti auguro un buon proseguimento di soggiorno. 😊
Sei molto brava Shea! Sono arrivata anche in Italia ad aprile, a Trieste (nordest). Anche io studio alla scuola di lingue ma non parlo bene come te. Grazie per la motivazione! Ti auguro tutto il meglio per questa avventura! Un abbraccio da una canadese :)
Complimenti per il Suo italiano appreso in così poco tempo! Vedere giovani volenterosi e bravissimi come Lei accende una speranza in più per un futuro migliore (e non solo perché Lei apprezza così tanto il Bel Paese☺)
E come quando mi chiedono: perché studi giapponese e non cinese che è più utile? Perché mi piace molto e va bene così! Always follow your heart ❤ P.S. Sei bravissima a parlare italiano! E "Scadrà tutto" è giusto!!
Congratulations, I was thinking about you recently “I wonder how Shea is doing”? Your italian sounds good. io Andró in Italia in Ottobre è andrò a scuola per 3 settimane in 3 città diverse. Non poso restare molto tempo, ma mi piace molto i tuoi videos. Congratulazione di nuovo. Ciao
Thank you for sharing, I can only aspire to get to this level of conversation in Italian. I am currently searching for schools to attend in either Florence or Bologna this September. Do you have any videos where you shared a review on your school?
That’s great! I have a video called “What’s it’s like to study Italian in Italy” and within that video I talk about how my school is structured and things I like (and don’t like) about it. But for the most part, I love it 😉🙌🏼 You can also message me on IG if you want more details specifically about my school!
dico una cosa atipica: hai fatto la scelta giusta! piu studi l'italiano, piu capirai la sua complessita'. Piu lo parlerai meglio, piu ti piacera', fidati!
Da quanto tempo stai imparando a questo punto? Molto interessante! Mi sono concentrato principalmente sull'ascolto e sulla lettura e ho capito tutto senza sottotitoli. Ma quindi non sono ancora fluente come te
Io sono anni che sto cercando di imparare l'inglese e sono anni che ho un sogno di fare un'esperienza lavorativa all'estero ma non ha ancora avuto l'occasione voi dicete che a Los Angeles avete visto tanti italiani dicono che negli Stati Uniti d'America ci sono parecchi tanti Italiani ma che dire spero che vi piacciono i miei commenti attendo risposte ai miei commenti molto simpatica
the part abt americans not learning languages is sooo true like i understand people have different interest levels and learning styles but i think the american school system puts foreign language study in a negative light
It really depends! A small apartment per month is usually around 900-1200 per month if you want to live alone, otherwise many people have roommates or split places and pay less. But in Bologna apartments can also get really expensive, closer to 2000 or 3000 per month depending on the area, especially if you rent through AirBnB or something
@@SheaJordan oh, thanks for your time. Are You living with roommates ? I was planning to live or in Bologna , Moderna o Parma . It depend in which place can find a department. Thanks for the information , You are a good person. Have a Nice day . Disculpa si me equivoco al escribir en inglés, me cuesta un poco escribir en inglés porque no tengo con quien. Practicar. Ten bonito día
Hai provato con il karaoke per imparare meglio la pronuncia e le parole ... Ho sentito che ad altre persone è stato utile. Prendi una canzone in italiano che ti piace e provi a cantarla.
Yes, I started studying Italian on my own over 2 years ago. Now I’m living in Italy studying at a language school, so the 4 months refers to how long I’ve been in an actual school in Italy to learn.
@@SheaJordan You said in the Video "I want to Show you My Progress With Italian After 4 Months" 0:20 and You didn't Mention School, I Hear A Lot of People Speaking English Whenever I Take The train, After All Wish You Good Luck 🙏🏻
In the intro I said I’m living in Bologna to study Italian and I’ve been here for four months. I talk about school in most of my other videos and it’s hard to remember to clarify every single detail whenever I make a new video, because most of my followers have been following me on my journey and therefore know I’ve been studying for years and have just recently moved to Italy to go to school.
@@SheaJordan I'm Not an English Speaker But I'll Correct For ya, You Have To Say "I want To show You my progress With Studying Italian in School After 4 Months", Again I'm Sorry If I said Something You Didn't Like And Learning a Language Is Not An easy Thing, Keep it up 👍🏻
Ma ascolta dovresti fare voi un consiglio video magari e rispondere solo a 10 massimo 15 Massimo Massimo 20 domande perché sennò il video è noioso dovresti fare video rispondere al massimo 10-15-20 domande cioè a perché sennò è troppo noioso comprendo che hai tanti iscritti però io vorrei darvi questo consiglio
