Learning Italian Like Crazy
Learning Italian Like Crazy is a beautiful language filled with “colorful” sounds, pitches, and tones. When these come together properly, the Italian language makes the speaker sound as though he or she is singing. This very nature of the Italian language is why it is used in Opera singing. The sound is almost heavenly. In fact, try it yourself right now, say the word “Salve a tutti – Hello everyone.” Notice the pitch and tone in that very simple phrase.
Well, not only are the pitches and tones what gives Italian the “beautiful” sounds that you hear but also, they are the essential pieces to being understood by a native Italian speaker. In fact, you could be using the correct words and phrases that you may have memorized, but if you don’t use the correct pitch and intonation to express yourself, chances are that a native Italian will have a difficult time understanding you.
Now image speaking to them using the proper pronunciation, pitch, and tone with every word and phrase that comes out of your mouth.. Of course they will understand you and of course you will enjoy Italy more. This is the way to enjoy beautiful Italia and it’s all thanks to your ability to speak Italian.
You are the type that really enjoys mental gymnastics and learning a new language is your way of staying mentally fit. You recognize that stimulating your brain is just as important as stimulating your muscles with physical exercises.
Here what you will discover:
- There are two very specific things that you will learn with your very first lesson: first, you will learn how to use Italian verbs that end in the suffix “ARE” in the present tense. Do you know that there are Italian verbs that end in: “ARE”, “ERE” and “IRE?”
- Here, you will be engaged with the narrator in a “question and answer” type of session that will force you to think in Italian.
- Lesson number 3 places you in my beautiful city of Naples, Italy where you will converse (in Italian of course) about walking around the city, visiting museums, working, and even studying the beautiful Italian language. I like to call this “situational learning” because it places you in a very realistic situation.
- In lesson number 7, you will find yourself in a very realistic conversation that will reinforce everything that you have learned in both lessons five and six.
- Using a conversational approach, you will learn how to conjugate verbs in the present tense that end in “ERE” in lesson number 9.
- In Lesson number 12 you go back to Naples, Italy with the same friend that you spent time with in Lesson number three. Continuing with the topic of regular “ERE” present verb tense you started learning in lesson number nine, you and your Neapolitan friend engage in a conversation regarding reading newspapers, driving a car, and several other topics.
- Lesson 13 keeps you in my beautiful city of Naples, Italy with your friend. This time your girlfriend (I don’t think I told you your Neapolitan friend was a girl), is asking you about your reading habits and more…..
