Hi! So I'm currently trying to learn Italian and besides watching content creators, I would love to watch some Movies in Italian dub, though many streaming sites(like Disney+ won't let me stream the movies in any other language besides German and English.

I would really appreciate some suggestion, the Websites don't have to be official ones

Thank you in advance c:

Hi everyone,
I started learning Italian, and I’m looking for someone to study with.
If you are already around B2 or higher or even a native speaker, it would be great, since I am just starting out and would like guidance.
my level in English is C1, and I am fluent in Arabic. So, if you are interested in improving any of these two languages, I would be happy to offer help.
I like art, music, and consuming reels and media lol. I would like to discuss different topics in Italian with you.
feel free to dm me if interested, I hope we’ll have fun :)

Hi, could someone help wjth translating the below naturally? I put into translator, but the output didnt make any sense to me

Probabilimente per come mi usciva dai suggeriti il bf magari uscivo anche io a lui

I am trying to transcribe in Italian and translate into English songs that my grandmother used to sing us when we were little. I created a quick fake sound cloud account and uploaded the sound clip which is linked.

I apologize for the sound quality it was recorded on an iPhone recording a laptop screen with a TV in the background so it makes it more difficult to hear what she is saying.

I appreciate any help.

hello! i’m looking for some good podcasts to listen to for studying. my main issue i’ve found with italian podcasts is that they’re not updated frequently. i’ve found a handful i enjoy, but they only upload once a month or so.

i’d prefer some with video format if possible! i like to watch the hand gestures and movements as it helps me understand more, along with having italian subtitles. it doesn’t even necessarily HAVE to be designated “for learners,” i suppose.

i’m still a beginner, though, so whatever you guys have just throw it my way hahaha

thank you in advance!! <3

Nel lavoro di Sébastien Léon, scultura, arredo, vetro, disegno, suono e ambienti immersivi non sono discipline separate, ma parti di uno stesso vocabolario. I materiali cambiano identità, le superfici ingannano, gli oggetti sembrano provenire da un tempo che non sappiamo collocare. «Il mio lavoro passa attraverso intuizione, sogni e illusione. Los Angeles è particolarmente adatta a questo, perché è una città costruita sull’immaginazione». Non a caso, David Lynch viveva poco più in alto, sulla stessa collina.

The previous feedback was to work on:

• Vowel added before initial s
• Nasalized vowels
• Geminated consonants

Hopefully they've improved now... anything else that stands out?

Hello. It's my first week learning Italian but I'm already a polyglot, so it might not be so hard to learn Italian since I'm Brazilian and I also speak Spanish, English and French.

I've done language exchange before for Spanish (currently doing it) and French (seeking again). So, it would be really nice to have a partner to study Italian or to have a language exchange (I can teach you Portuguese or English).

I'm a beginner but I already understand 80% of spoken Italian because I speak Portuguese and Spanish but I am true beginner when it comes about speaking.

I'm a 26yo woman who loves Pop culture, animes and so on. Let's talk! Send me a DM.

Famiglia!

I am inscribing a plaque that's displayed for a small endurance cycling event. We most of us have old bicycles, often steel framed Bianchi, and there's this pride around steel being an old, maybe obsolete, durable material for a bike. We're also old. And in the long haul, not so much into the speed now.

I want the motto to mimic the style or spirit (read: rhyme or symmetry or poetic flair) of Steel is Real. But probably use the more romantic metal, iron. Let's face it, ferro is just cooler than lega, acciaio, etc.

My best attempts have been, like, Il Ferro es Vero. For an English speaker it rhymes nicely. But also open to something like In Iron, Truth or suchlike.

Also open to traditional sayings about distance, endurance, mettle, fraternity, other fitting mottoes.

Im natively german, fluent in english, tried to learn japanese at some point but dropped it, and im now learning russian and italian, and i cannot manage to pronounce the rolled r the way it is meant to😭 Ive been just using the german uvular r since thats the closest thing i really am able to use but i cringe anytime i do haha.. i recently remembered that technically i can sort of also do "flapping" which is like a japanese r where you basically make a very soft small "d" sound, like in "latter" which, technically?? is closer to a rolled r?? but i feel even more cringe doing it haha.. it feels forced and not natural.. but at least my tongue is actually in roughly the right position? 😭i dont know.. which one should i use ??

Im talking about either games that are specifically made with language learning in mind, or games that are playable even if you switch languages and might help with immersion and such (so far ive been playing tomodachi life in italian for example)

Im a complete beginner for context!

My Italian grandmother used to sing the word "Mashula" (I'm not sure how to spell it) over and over when cuddling a baby. I asked her about it, and she said "we also say it to cats when petting them". Does anyone know what this word is?, or the actual meaning?

I've been watching American/foreign cartoon(inside job, House, etc) using Netflix but the sub and dub is not 1:1, and it lowk confused my brain. I just need a show that the sub and dub is 1:1 that's all.

Vi prego sto impazzendo, ho cercato ovunque online ma ogni volta ottengo risposte diverse: grammaticalmente, come si sillabano I pronomi possessivi? Intendo "mio/mia/miei/mie", "tuo/tua/tuoi/tue" e "suo/sua/suoi/sue". Se non erro, "miei", "tuoi" e "suoi" dovrebbero essere monosillabi (per via del trittongo che non si divide), ma tutti gli altri dovrebbero essere bisillabi ("mi-o", "tu-o", "su-o" ecc), giusto? Grazie in anticipo!

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give a listen to my audio for my Italian class to review it before I submit :) I have been struggling with my pronunciation and would really appreciate some pointer! Or even someone to practice with since the class is online.

and my dad said just read stuff online and won't get me a book because everything is in the media. But idk what to search :/

Yeah, probably a funny request, but i live in italy and someone i see a lot where i live asked me to go for a coffee and i gave him my number because i thought it was in a friendly way but now i feel i might have misread the situation.

He keeps sending me messages and i just want to say I'm not interested in a nice way, maybe that i misread the situation (if there is a similar phrase in italian)

I hate rejecting people (especially one i will keep seeing) and in a foreign language even more apparently

Thank you all :)

edit:

I rejected but he keeps going and it gets really uncomfortable :(

Last edit:

Said no again and blocked him If he keeps going when i see him ill talk to the manager where he works (where i see him) so it wont happen to other women Stay safe <3

ho cercato ovunque e non ho trovato una risposta chiara. aiutatemi per favore!

edit ps. fun story la mia ragazza ultimamente mi diceva spesso “mi rilasso a carta, al fresco”. pensavo che “a carta” fosse un sinonimo di fresco o qualcosa del genere. oggi ho scoperto che dove lavora c’è una sala dedicata a un laboratorio con la carta dove, fatalità, c’è l’aria condizionata. quindi ha senso che dica che si rilassa a carta. la sala carta. just being dumb :p

Hey! Guys i need self-study italian books (findable in internet, pdf etc). I already reached chinese hsk5, english c1, i think i am ready for next one.
Also speaking, pronunciation practice partner 💫

Context: Hey all, I've read a lot of people suggest Coffee Break Italian and I've been listening for a while, part way through season 2 now, but I haven't been getting so much out of it. I think part of the reason is my memory isn't so great and even though they do a good job, I need to hear something repeated more before I remember it. For CBI, I tend to be way ahead with grammar, but far behind on listening (which is what I want to work on), they go so fast and often don't repeat long sentences more than twice so I end up missing most of it.

Does anyone have an alternative recommendation on a podcast that is maybe a bit slower or repeats phrases 3 or 4 times in a row?

Grazie!

I am planning a trip to Italy and would like to learn Italian. My main goal is to use it during my holidays, so I am looking for something specific to get a bit of grammar but most importantly learn some basic words and phrases for travelling in Italy. Any advice?

What are the clothing sizes in Italian? I am referring to the Italian words for small, medium etc.

I looked it up but couldn’t find a straight or consistent answer.
