How I Learn Italian Outside of School | Living in Italy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Welcome back! In today's video I'm sharing the 4 ways I continue to learn Italian at home, outside of my classroom. I have 4 hours of Italian lessons every weekday, but I still make extra effort to continue learning. For those of you who are new here, I currently live in Bologna, Italy where I attend a language school to learn Italian! It's been a little over 4 months now and I love living here!

So glad to see you back Shea! Your language learning tips have helped me TREMENDOUSLY with learning Japanese and though I love those videos your vlogs are JUST as important as the language learning videos because when I’m going through a tough patch with my language journey I look up Japanese vlogs and it reminds me why I’m working so hard and though I’m not learning Italian it’s next on my list and I’m sure the vlogs are helping others as well. You’re doing incredible and helping so many people. Don’t listen to the negativity of a few people
Aww thank you, I’m so happy to hear that! And you make a good point, I also think it could be motivating for people studying Italian to also see life in Italy. Learning a language is also about taking an interest in the culture, so I think vlogs about life here in Italy would be nice to make 😊
@@SheaJordan couldn’t have said it better! You’re doing an amazing job 💜
Hi, Shea! I'm so happy to see your video! Please, don't listen to people who try to tell you what videos you need to film. Make videos about whatever you want! I'm here to see you and all your videos are very interesting! Yes, I found you because I was searching for the videos about learning Italian but now I love all your videos! So I'm looking forward to watching your vlogs from Italy and other videos about living in Italy 🧡
Aww thank you so much. You’re right, I’m excited to start making videos again, no matter what type. I’m so happy that you enjoy my videos and I’m excited to post more for everyone again!
Oh I missed your vlogs, I wondered why you hadn't posted about your trips. Don't listen to the haters! 💜
Thank you! I just finished editing another video today that I will post next week and hopefully I can get back on track with posting. I would love to share more of my daily life here and you’re right, I don’t have to listen to the people who told me not to make vlogs, they can just chose not to watch them 🤷🏼♀️
I've lived in both Italy and Germany for a bit as part of my Bachelor's degree and fully agree that simply moving to a country isn't enough if you want to learn the language there - you really have to actively seek out opportunities to properly immerse yourself and you can't just "pick it up". I definitely also found that you get SO much more out of the whole experience of living abroad if you genuinely want to learn the language! Yes, in a lot of scenarios, especially if you live in a bigger city, you can get by just with English but you miss out on so much!! 😊🇮🇹
Also I can relate to being uncomfortable filming in public (especially walking and talking) - very occasionally I'm just like, I don't care I'm never going to see these people again, but usually that doesn't happen and I end up either just not doing it at all or slipping up too much 😅
Exactly!! My experience living in Italy now is so different from when I studied abroad in Rome and only really ever spoke English. And yes, sometimes I feel more confident to film outside but other days I’m so convinced everyone is staring at me and judging me 😂😭
I for one would love to see the vlogs especially about what life is like on the day to day as you said. As someone who is learning Italian and visited Italy and plan to return to do something similar to what you are doing, it would be nice to see how you got on!
Thank you! Yes I can make some day in the life videos, I think that would be interesting as well.
I would love to see a mix of content, language learning, travel, every day life in Italy. As to picking up a language, my Italian mother-in-law lived in the USA for 60 years and never got beyond an A2 level in English. There are millions of immigrants who never pick up the local language.
Thank you for the feedback! And yes, language is so complex that you really have to make an effort to learn. There are definitely phrases you can “pick up” but as you said, it’s still something you have to actively try and won’t just “happen” after years of being in a country.
Hi Shea, I am an Italian living in Ireland in the last 3.5 years and I am still learning your beautiful language. However, sometimes I’m not able to understand and speak it as I would like to. For this, I’ve become a bit awkward in College. I’ll be happy to receive any advice from you and if you ever go to Bergamo in the summer I’ll be happy to show you around. Best wishes,
Federica
Aww, it's ok! I also feel uncomfortable speaking Italian sometimes because I'm not able to fully express what I want to say. I would love to go to Bergamo, I haven't been there yet!
Wow great experience...my pleasure to enjoy in bologna.
your videos help me to learn english and also motivate me to learn Italian. I would like to see and learning language content AND vlogs because italy 🇮🇹 is wonderful country💖
Aww thank you so much! I’m happy my videos can help motivate you 😊 more videos definitely coming soon!
For crying out loud Queen, I've been waiting for this and you just come back and make it, you don't even know how much I missed you. Nevertheless, I just want to say thank you ever so much for your efforts and for sharing this marvelous video. You just literally make my day, week, and month.
Thank you so much! Always happy to see your kind comments 😊 I’m happy to be making videos again, I just finished another one today to post next week. Hopefully I will be posting a lot more regularly again! Thanks for always supporting 🥰 hope you’re doing well!
Shea, so happy see you again! Please don't pay attention to comments like: "we don't need your vlogs, we are here for Italian." it's all not true. we are here on your channel to see you, listen to you and everything is super interesting for us. please post your beautiful videos full of life and joy more often. welcome back))) and have fun in Italy!
Great to see a new video from you Shea and you seem very happy 😊 When I moved to Italy I found a couple of friends who wanted to learn English. We agreed to do an 'intercambio' once a week, where we would spend one hour speaking English and another hour speaking Italian. We taught each other nice turns of phrases and with constant practice I was able to integrate these into everyday life. X
Wow that sounds great and super beneficial! With my friends we usually end up speaking both languages as well, but not structured like this. That sounds like a great idea 😊
Keep posting vlogs Shea. I enjoy them so much! I've missed your videos.
Thanks so much! 😊✨
Thax for ❤
Thanks for the tips! I’m also staying in bologna currently and decided to start learning
Amazing! Hope you enjoy Bologna!
Would love to hear you speak Italian on your vlogs!
Você não faz idéia do quanto seus vídeos me ajudam!!
Thank you for your advice on learning Italian and English.❤
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Glad you're back!
Thank you!
Grandissima Shea! welcome back!
Non vedo/vediamo l'ora di vedere uno o più video in cui parli italiano 😁
Tipo per esempio: come è cambiata la tua percezione dell'Italia dalla prima settimana in cui eri qui, ad oggi invece che ci sei già da diversi mesi?
se tipo certe cose a distanza di mesi, ti hanno completamente deluso oppure piacevolemente sopreso etc etc
E' sempre bello sentire un parere esterno da una persona che di fatto vive qui da diverso tempo
😊
Ciao, grazie mille! Ho fatto un video in italiano oggi!! 🎉🎉 sarebbe molto interessante fare un video su quelle belle domande! grazie per aver guardato il mio video✨🙏🏼
I have a way to learn with books that I have used to improve my German and a little bit my English. I get a book that I wanna use to study and I buy its audiobook. What I do is to reproduce the audiobook while I am reading the book and I repit the words how the voice of the audiobook says.
I think it would be helpful if you went to a local Toastmasters club. Toastmasters is an organization that helps people to improve their public speaking and leadership skills. The meeting consists of people giving prepared speeches, other people giving their evaluation of those speeches, and people giving impromptu speeches. You could visit a Toastmasters club and give a speech in Italian.
Something that’s helped me is using some of my favorite artist’s song lyrics to practice writing Italian and improve my vocabulary + it helps me connect to the music better (check out Galeffi’s recent album Belvedere it’s absolutely beautiful)
Hi Shea!. First of all, you should keep doing in what make you happy 😊. That's rude what people said about your vlogs. From my opinion it would be great see you vlogs if you're ok. BTW, your tips are being useful in my learning process. Good luck what's in your mind.
We want more vlogs of your experience!
Ok! Thank you 🙏🏼 I will make some!
Me gusta escuchar la manera que hablas inglés así puedo practicarlo 😆
Gracias 😂
What level of Italian would you say you are at? B2? And how long have you been studying? And how long have you been studying in Italy? I am starting my own language journey and would love to know where you are in your journey!
What is the title of the book that is set in Monopoli?🙌🙏
Il Sogno Che Ho Di Te 😊
@@SheaJordan Thank you🙌😌
Hello, i am learning Italian because my wife is from the south. However I live in England. I currently learning online but I am getting a bit bored 😐 any advice?
I have videos about how to stay motivated while language learning and some other tips. 😊 It really helps if you find ways to study that you actually enjoy. For example, for me I like watching TV series in Italian or watching UA-camrs, I also like using recipes in Italian because I enjoy cooking. Some people change the language on their games, etc. Find ways to incorporate the language into hobbies or things you already enjoy doing.
I know it may sound a little weird but I sometimes watch programmes in Italian that are made for very young children because they speak slower and the language is far more simple and isn’t a particular dialect. Would this potentially work?
Yes that works! It's a good way to start
Maybe you could take a cooking class or some other class in Italian besides a language class.
I took a cooking class for fun a few weeks ago! But I’m here to learn Italian so I wouldn’t leave my school and do something else? 🤔 I’m not sure if that’s what you meant, but I’ve tried a lot of different things out here actually, but my main course and passion is to learn Italian 😊
@@SheaJordan I meant taking a class in addition to your language classes.
