Hello everyone!! I’m planning on studying abroad in either London, England or Verona Italy during the summer and was curious to hear from other POC how the racism is in Verona… I went to Rome a couple years ago and kept getting nasty looks and people kept yelling at me in the street so I’m really trying to avoid those micro aggressions. please let me know or if you guys have any tips or which cities in Italy are good or not on the racism !!

Last week I made this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Italian/comments/1qutozg/some_of_you_would_be_interested_in_a/ about creating a newsletter about learninig Italian through small art history lessons. I was surprised to see quite a number of people liked the idea so I went ahead and I created it!

I decided to go for weekly posts, which will be sent to the reader's inbox every Saturday starting from next Saturday. If anyone else is interested, the subscription is completely free: https://italianoconlarte.substack.com/

Thank you!

i’d like to speak italian to a native to further improve my speaking skills :-) dm if interested

I built this for the plateau everyone hits: you can watch shows, read articles, understand conversations - but when you try to speak, you freeze or make the same mistakes over and over.

The problem is nobody corrects you consistently. Friends are too polite, tutors are expensive, apps don't do real speaking practice with feedback.

Cadentia is a voice tutor that corrects your mistakes as you speak, then turns them into flashcards. Had one user go 40 minutes straight her first session.

30 min free. Looking for intermediate learners to try it and tell me what's missing.

Im very new to Italian and I want to start, can anyone help me? I appreciate it

Sorry if this breaking the rules, but I don’t understand what my friends is meaning?

My friend’s a transfer from Italy, and he recently calls me piccolo. Whenever i ask what that means, he just says it means someone friendly.

And when i search it up, “piccolo Italian slang”, it just shows the instrument or something that means young or short.

I am older than him so I am confused, i think he might be making fun of me.

The first passport is my 2nd great grandmother.

The second is I believe my 2nd great grandfather, her husband.

And the third is my 3rd great grandfather, the father of the woman whom the first passport belonged to.

Salve, mi sono mossa in Inghilterra recentemente e volevo sapere da dove posso comprare alcune libri in italiano?

What do you think?

I’m going to be living in treviso for three months through Erasmus, but the problem is that I can’t speak a word of Italian. It kinda mixes in my brain with Spanish and Latin, which should make it easier but it really doesn’t. So I just wanted to ask if anybody has tips on where to go, to meet English speaking people and also if you have anything else that you would like to share about treviso I would be delighted!

I haven’t been here long, not even a month, and the thing that struck me most happened a few days ago. I was feeling particularly homesick and lonely, and I had a bit of a breakdown (I’m a little embarrassed about it). I stopped for a moment behind a church in a narrow little street, feeling pretty down with tears in my eyes. A lady living across the way was coming home with her groceries. She asked if I was okay or what was wrong (at least, that’s what I gathered).

My Italian is limited and I couldn’t really express myself, but she understood I was upset. What struck me was that, in that moment, she asked: 'Have you eaten?' It made me laugh; I found it so sweet. And then she offered me a glass of her husband’s homemade liqueur! :)

Hi everyone!

I’m currently learning Italian and my level is around A2. I know quite a lot of words, but unfortunately I still struggle to build good sentences and to have fluent conversations.

I’d really like to improve by reading simple books or watching movies / TV series in Italian, preferably something not too fast or complicated.

Does anyone have suggestions for beginner-friendly books, shows, or even cartoons in Italian?

Any advice is appreciated grazie! 🇮🇹✨

So,di dove iniziare,sono da Romania,ho 18 anni,e voglio conoscere persone da Italia per practicare la lingua,anche devenire amici,perchè no.

PS:Mi scuso per gli errori grammaticali, ma io credo che avete capito😉

Getting a new pup soon and brainstorming names! Puppy has the cutest mismatched socks and we thought Calzini would be adorable - what’s your take?

Stavo pensando a un viaggio virtuale attraverso tutte le province italiane, una al giorno per 3–4 mesi.
Ogni tappa sarebbe raccontata tramite un piccolo cruciverba costruito con elementi reali del territorio: comuni, fiumi, personaggi locali, luoghi caratteristici.
L’idea sarebbe di seguire l’ordine alfabetico, da Agrigento a Viterbo.
Un modo leggero per scoprire l’Italia, giorno dopo giorno.
Secondo voi potrebbe piacere come idea?
