    Comunque sia Tom tante grazie. Sai io ho 48 anni, quindi non piu giovanissimo,ma circa un anno e mezzo fà ho deciso di imparare l'inglese che non avevo mai studiato prima a scuola. Avevo studiato il francese. Devo dire che con molto impegno e con tanti video visti stò cominciando a raccogliere i frutti del mio sudato impegno !! Grazie quindi a te e a tutti gli altri che pubblicano video interessanti come il tuo !!

    Hi, I know these videos are from a while back but you’re the only source I’ve found who explains the grammatical side of Italian in a way that is easy to follow along and understand. All the other articles and videos I found are were not helpful!! Thank you so much for these. They have been so helpful!!!!

    I have been trying to italian and subjects like this are hard to get around your head when treading about them. However, watching you put human naturalness instead of hard facts has really helped. You sir have earned a subscriber. :)

Guess what? I´ve started my ITALIAN notebook right away and don´t wanna stop learning! Guess I´ll be through all of your videos tonight. This is the first time someone explaining the italian language in such an easy way!! Have I mentioned that I love you *haha* ... well, I am really thankful for you and hope you continue putting clips online! I´m German but it is much easier for me watching (hearing english explanations) it in English than in my own language!! Learning a different language is exciting indeed!! Thank you so much !! Grazie mille!! Christina

  • @teresaseret
    @teresaseret 10 років тому +9

    Hello there! I just wanted to drop by and to tell you how I appreciate the amount of work and time you spend making these videos. However, I was thinking that some of your students could use a little bit of 'living' Italian. Soo perhaps you could translate and comment on the content of some Italian songs - I would be very grateful for that. I personally suggest Marzia Gaggioli - she has really simple songs (and a little bit silly), which might help you introduce some new vocab and perhaps reinforce our knowledge about the grammar as well. Why am I even saying that? Well I did learn a lot of French listening over and over to songs looking at their translations. I believe that this is a very efficient and fun at the same time method. Greetings from Poland! Ciao!

    • @pegberthold3988
      @pegberthold3988 3 роки тому

      That's how I started to learn Italian. I printed out songs sung by Il Volo with the translations, then looked up vocab, articles, and conjugation. (In some cases, you actually see the errors of the translations.) Great motivator. When you have to look everything up, you remember it.(Understood that some classics like "Torna a Sorriento" or "O Sole Mio" are exceptions, as they are of the older Neopolitan dialect.) But oh, to be at an Il Volo concert and understand what they are singing has so much more meaning and feeling. Then I discovered Tom, and that became the pair that would beat any full house!

  • @リバスチキ
    @リバスチキ 7 років тому

    I haven't understood how and when to use the prepositions in Italiano, I din't know the rules and I was so confused. Also, I watched other video of you talking about "Il passato prossimo", and..I'm so grateful to you. You're so great, motivational, didactic and excellent professor!. Thank you :)

    •  7 років тому +1

      Thanks for your kind words! :) A preposition helps to connect the things you say, it also gives you some direction, Without prepositions, the things you say won't make sense. Prepositions are words like "at, to, in, on, from, etc." So if I say "I go TO the store" it makes more sense than "I go store" which despite being understandable, isn't correct. Hope this helps!

    • @リバスチキ
      @リバスチキ 7 років тому

    @edrencealfaro 3 роки тому +1

    Hi! Just wanted to make a correction for future reference. The standard Italian translation of "It is in the box" is - È nella scatola. You use essere (è) and not stare (sta). "Sta nella scatola" means stays in the box.

    Salve! I'm Korean learning Italian. It was a bit hard for me to get the usage of each Italian preposition since each has a different meaning. (Like "a" means at, to, in.) With your explanation, everything became clear! Thanks a lot for your effort on this video. I'll keep watching your video. Grazie mille!

    @MarioBeart 9 років тому +12

    Hi Tom! You're so good! :) one of the best on UA-cam! But I have to say something about "vado a Roma" vs "sto andando a Roma". They are not interchangeable. The latter is used only if you're in the making of the action, maybe you're on the train to Rome and you say "sto andando a Roma". "Vado a Roma" is more generic. :)

    • @iTube22100

    Ciao Tom, grazie mile! I just have a suggestion that maybe helpful for us, learners: when it's written on the bottom of the video, for example, "da + il = dal", I automatically try to come up with an example of a phrase I can use "dal". Would be great to have examples to all dalle, nello,etc. Thanks a lot!)

    @cherin6703 2 роки тому

    Is there a way to know whether to use "essere" vs. "stare". Most of your sample sentences use "stare" when I would use "essere". When is one used vs. the other? For example: (1) "Il libro sta sulla tavola" vs. "Il libro e sulla tavola" (2) "sta nella scatola" vs. "e nella scatola" 3) Sto in Italia vs. Sono in Italia. Great video. Grazie
