My friend thought Spain was in Mexico and he got an A in history. The American school system man.
That doesn't surprise me, unfortunately there are a lot of people who would think that Spain is in South America.
We have similar issues in Australia and one of the most annoying things is that people think that Greeks and Italians are similar, Italians originate from Central Europe and come from the same gene pool as the French, Swiss, Austrians etc. and Greeks originate from Asia Minor so there's clearly no connection what so ever.
italian also have some words similar to greeks like bio, that is the life is similar to the greek word bìos!
VINCENT RATHBONE
It's not true! I'm Italian and I know that italians and Greeks have the same anchestry!
PS. The youtuber's accent sucks
VINCENT RATHBONE thats not really true, italians have a correlation with greek people bc many greek colonies in the past were in italy such as Siracusa, Cuma, Pompei and so on. this also explains why many italian words originated from greek.
I've always thought that the american and canadian educational system is great in the best universities, but it's terrible on the cultural side before college.
When americans come to Europe they are usually surprise that europeans study during the afternoon and that they are stressed and busy.
I have also the feeling that japanese people are much more educated.
When I meet an educated american it's because he studied in a good college or he is a self-taught person.
Another reason is that so much great literature was originally written in Italian, like Dante and Boccaccio.
The full name for a piano is "pianoforte," meaning "soft and loud," since you can play notes at varying loudness.
"Is France in Spain?" Sounds like a question an American would ask! (Yeah, I'm showing my prejudice...)
Perfectamente lo dici a tua sorella
Hahah questo è top

"Ragione" numero 10: if you learn Italian, you get the basis for learning French, Spanish and Portuguese!
not the contrary
I just started learning Italian with Duolingo because I wanted to learn another Romance language after Brazilian Portuguese, and I wasn't all that interested in French or Spanish so I picked Italian and I must say I'm having a blast learning it.
Hardmanferdead Cool! I'm glad you enjoy Italian! How do you find it after Portuguese? :)
Lindsay Dow So far I find Italian pronunciation to be more of a breeze compared to Portuguese since there are no nasal sounds.
Ahh interesting! I learnt them the other way round so didn't notice that but it's a good point :)
I recommend you learn Spanish, if you know Spanish, it is very easy to learn Portuguese, Italian, french and Romanian"the laguage of Count Dracula" :p (Spanish) Saludos desde el país de la mitad del mundo... (Portuguese) Saudações do país de metade do mundo... (Italian) Saluti dal paese di mezzo mondo ... (French) Salutations du pays de la moitié du monde.... AALL YOU NEED IS ECUADOR :D
LENIN ERAZO BALLADARES I could say the same about Portuguese because as I was learning it(still learning it to be honest), I started to indirectly learn Spanish and began to understand some of the stuff my Latino friends write on Facebook whenever they post in Spanish. Though I'm curious what does Ecuadorian Spanish sound like because I'm use to hearing mostly Dominican, Mexican and Puerto Rican Spanish in my neighborhood?
stop with the super mario accent, it's the most annoying thing you can do to an italian
Già da fastidio
Concordo
Gli americani credono che parliamo come super mario mangiamo solo pizza e facciamo sti segni
I can't tell how unexplainable my love for this language is. I love the sounds, the plural form and the Italian culture. I'm a Portuguese native speaker but I do Italian on Duolingo (from English to Italian). A beautiful language, and you know how committed to beauty the language is when you learn that they use "bello" also as a reference to "interesting".
"Che cosa fai di bello?" = "Are you doing anything interesting?"
Italian is indeed very beautiful! :) Agreed!
+Wallker Medeiros Grande!!! =) How's the progress with Italian going?
+Alberto ITALIANOAUTOMATICO It's been a while since the last time I studied italian in my language schoolbook. So, I think I stutter when I try to formulate a sentence.
hello
like se stai quardando questo video e sei italiano
Could you please avoid stereotyping the accent ? I think nobody speaks like that in Italy, apart from someone in the deep countryside of Sicily :)
Apart from americans with italian ancestors :D
But they're not Italians, then :P Not to sound "racist", it's just that theirs isn't the Italian spoken in Italy :)
Francesco Ghigo Vogliamo parlare di come gesticola? Non siamo così daaai
sofia ciao beh di certo non quando diciamo per esempio "punto numero tre" se no dio santo Renzi e gli altri dovrebbero essere agili come funamboli
Francesco Ghigo Tu hai ragione Francesco.
I started to learn Italian because I am fascinated by the culture and history.
Grazie mille! Italian is one of the most beautiful languages in the world. It's spoken in a number of other countries, such as Switzerland and San Marino, not just in Italy. Also, Italy has a strong economy, and the reasons given in the video, such as art and food, make Italian a great language to learn.
I agree "Perfectamente"! :D
(even though it should be "Perfettamente" with double T. We love double letters :P )
Video carino :)
Però basta con con sto accento alla Mario, ha rotto le palle. Maledetto Charles Martinet.
Auri LittleMoon ti amooo ahahahah
sofia ciao ahaha no ma davvero, forse non si rende conto di aver condannato un'intera popolazione!
Che tu sia maledetto, Charles!! 😂
Auri LittleMoon it's me malio
INFATTI TUTTI GLI STRANIERI CERCANO DI PARLARE COSÌ
Non lo capiscono che questo è come suonava a lui (uno straniero) nelle sue orecchie. E probabilmente ha pure esagerato un po' per caratterizzare e rendere più simpatico il personaggio, visto che si trattava del personaggio di un videogioco.
Non lo capiscono
Dopo aver imparato parlare francese, il italiano è facilissimo! Queste due lingue, con le loro culture, sono veramente bellissime. A volte mi sembra che italiano è quasi un dialetto lontanissimo del francese. Il russo, invece è molto più difficile per me!
La gente che non impara nessun'altra lingua vede il mondo in bianco e nero!
Couldn't agree more! :)
Ma quale dialetto, come ti permetti!
Al massimo è il francese un dialetto italiano la mia patria non si infama ai francesi facciamo il culo sotto diversi aspetti 😎😎💪
L'italiano e il francese si sono sviluppati più o meno contemporaneamente.
"La lingua del sì e la lingua del oui", così diceva Dante.
Piuttosto entrambe sono dialetti del latino.
Scusa ma non riesco a capire che lingua sia IL Italiano
what if i told you speaking italian can help you to understand better also spanish french protuguese romanian and.... english! oooo yes english is half latin and half saxon, quick example: you say tooth but then you go to the dentist.. guess the translation for tooth in italian? dente. Latin is everywhere. Thanks roman empire and christianism!
+luther blissett so true! :D
I am actually learning spanish to boost my italian a bit. Already it has made me appreciate the Italian remote past that was bothering me a bit and of course a simple understanding of the subjunctive which the florentines love to throw around just to weed out the herd so to speak...
english still totally different latin. When some one speaks italian as an english speaker you will not understand anything
¿Confundir el español con el italiano? Es que hay que estar mal de la cabeza... xD Es como decir que el alemán y el inglés son lo mismo...
Però un po' li capisco...io non ho mai studiato Spagnolo ma ho capito tutto e sono sicuro tu capirai la risposta XD
Sì, ho capito, ma non per essere simile sono lo stesso...
Nycco BG
Para una persona que no habla el castellano o el italiano, es muy difícil de oir la diferencia (¿tú puedes sentir la diferencia entre el coreano y el japones?).
Para saber si una persona habla español o italiano, hay que saber que las palabras en italiano terminan generalmente con una vocal mientras que pueden terminar con una S, D, R, L, N... en español. También hace falta conocer los sonidos que no existen en el otro idioma:
- En español: los sonidos en las palabras "coGer", "lecCión", "VolVer"
- En italiano: los sonidos en las palabras "oGGi", "caSa", "laSCIare"
Entonces, si una persona non conoce estas reglas, ¡non puede oir la diferencia!
Puedo distinguir el japonés del koreano. ;) Pero sí, si no conocen ni uno ni el otro sí se puede confundir. Tiene sentido.
Nycco BG son bastante similares como lenguas. Todavía más que el alemán y el ingles
The most beautiful thing about Italian is its literature, even though it may be quite tricky for a foreign speaker who only now how to speak conversational Italian
She did not convince me I’ll stick to English Spanish french and German
also the french and the portuguese are really very romantic as well as the italian language
FANTASTICA! =D hahaha I think you really like mmmm FOOOD? Italian food haha
+Alberto ITALIANOAUTOMATICO Absolutely! :)
Italian fake accent
It's not "perfectamente" but Perfettamente, anyway I like your 9 points! :) Spain is in Italy?! It'd be cool! We'd have a whole of a lot more room!
A proper Brit, making a proper video "te una bella lingua chiamata italiano!". Best way to learn Italian is if you already know Spanish and English first. Go learn Spanish and English first then Italian will be super easy! Great video!
In the Philippines:
Person 1: I speak Tagalog
Person 2: I speak Visaya,
Me: Well, I do know these, but I speak French.
Person 1 and 2: WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *MIND BLOWN!*
My sister is studying abroad next year to Italy 🇮🇹! She is learning Italian!
i'm italian and when i was in spain i was speaking italian and they was understanding
When you speak English, I don’t understand.
È quando parli inglese che non ti capisco.
Five is the best reason.. I am italian
I don't know if i should learn french or Italian as a 3rd language (my native language is English, my second language is spanish)
Italian seems closer to spanish
Both ;)!!!
english, italian, spanish or french are very similar same words construction many similar phrares and words.
They're similar, but each language has its own charm so learn the one you like the most lol
Sardinian is the closest living language to Latin. Italian comes in second.
any dialect comes before italian
Simply perfect!!!!
composicion74 Grazie mille! :)
"Gonzo don't poo there" LOL
Great video as usual, I decided to learn Spanish, even though I hated it! Right now I am slowly but progressively falling in love with it :)
Thanks! Yes, Gonzo is a real terror when it comes to filming lately...think she's desperate to be on screen!
Glad you're falling in love with Spanish - it's a pretty easy language to fall in love with! What is it that's making you love it? :)
Lindsay Dow
It is simple, pretty and Latin America is just soo fascinating. Also the amount of literature and people speaking it is enormous. It is very useful but definitely pretty and I love Spanish rap music! I am actually obsessed with rap (no matter in what language)
You should show off Gonzo in the next video! It would be cool! Maybe she has some theories about languages?
Leszek Trybała If you like Spanish rap - you'll LOVE French rap! Have you hear of Stromae? He's is abasolutely amazing! My sister got me tickets to go see him in December - so excited! :)
I don't think I need to show her off - I think she'll manage to find a way to get in! :)
I listened to some French rap. Sinik, Diams, Booba and Rohff are nice!
I love this video because I already know Spanish and French!
10 : Vivo per lei by Andrea Bocelli & Giorgia
Mi hai convinto, studierò l'italiano!! Me lo insegni? :)
Yay! I don't teach Italian at the moment! Although from your comment, you seem pretty good already? :D

Oops... but it seems there is a correction. Sardinian is the closest to Latin, not Italian. Italian is the second closest. I myself am a language learner, and I got this information from trusted sources over the Internet. Regards!
I am still at the beginning of Italian... sadly German is kicking my butt making me fall behind on Italian, but pretty sweet language to know. Thank you for re-assuring me.
That last reason is totally true, LOL
Haha! Yes! Italian is ridiculously sexy! :)
OMG A LITTLE TURTLE! 0:40
Every language is worth the effort learning.
yeah that is right romanian and spanish almost forgot also that are really romance languages
Perfectamente....
Sardinian is the closest living language to Latin.
Some Portuguese speakers think that THEIR language is the "uncorrupted" version of Latin!
It's not a matter of thinking, there is very ccurate stdy by Mario Pei and this is the percentage of difference between Romance languages and Latin:
- Sardinian 8%,
- Italian 12%,
- Spanish 20%,
- Romanian 23.5%,
- Occitan 25%,
- Portuguese, 31%,
- French 44%.
There's more to say about that, above all that Romance languages do not descend (at least not directly) from classic Latin (when they originated that Latin was more like an abstract model used for cultural, administrative, religious and legal purposes, it had not been spoken by normal people from many centuries), but they come from a later vulgar Latin, so they're more similar to each other than simlar to classic Latin (that's why the're called Romance languages and not Latin languages, since that vulgar Latin is often referred to as "romanice loqui", which means "speak in the fashion of the Roman people", in opposition to "latine loqui" which refers to those who used the Latin of Cicero or Julius Caesar, even when Julius Caesar was dead 4, 7 or 10 centuries before and even the people of Rome itself would have find hard to understand it): the Latin we study at school, the same Latin still used by Vatican City and Catholic Church for official documents today, is the high Latin of 20-21 centuries ago at least in its written form, but Western Roman Empire collpsed 5-6 centuries later and spoken Latin had evolved in the meantime (grammar, vocabulary and even pronunciation), even if the model used in administration was still the same; Romance languages come from that popolar Latin of the 5th, 6th century when Rome felt.
Quale sardo? Il logudorese (fra cui il nuorese) o il campidanese?
And Italian.Sardinian and Italian are the most living languages closer to Latin.
Sardinian is a group of languages lugudorese or campidanese
Io parlo 10 paroli de la lingua Italiana. No dimenticato la lingua Rumana, la piu lingua romance piu parecida al Latin.
In reality the closest language to Latin is the Sardinian, followed by Italian, Romanian, Spanish and ect. Ect. But you did a very good video about my language. A work very well done. But I would like to know just one thing: "where are you from?"
+Nico Bart Grazie! I'm from England :)
+Nico Bart British accent is unmistakable, how could you not see that? :(
+Paolo Lupo recognise British accent, but I wasn't completely sure if she was from Enland or somewhere else. Everything's possible, no?
Anything is possible, nothing is impossible :D
Ahah exactly
poor reasons you give. there are a lot of reasons but for me this girl is just being offensive
I'm italian and there is one thing that I don't understand.how is italian sexy?
louis when i hear a beautiful women speaking italian i melt and im spanish from south america
You self hating Italian!? Listen to someone speak German or Arabic or Dutch and then listen to Italian --- Italian is a lnaguage that has a lot of ups and downs and is musical.
As an Italian I find that some German and English people (including Lindsay) speaking Italian, have a funny "Sardinian accent" (PS: "Sardinia" is an Italian Island).
My grandma is full Italian. I want to learn Italian for that reason, but I am afraid I’ll mix Italian and Spanish.
I want to learn Italian but I feel like I'd have more opportunities to speak Spanish vs Italian. I mean.eventually i want to know both but if I actually had opportunities to speak Italian, I'd start with Italian first but thats not the case so Spanish! it is... What do you think Lindsey?
Ragione n.10: because Ialian is the most beautiful language in the world. French is like Milan's dialect and Spanish is like Venice's dialect
Wtf are you even talking about? Venetian has NOTHING to do with Spanish lmaooooo
Its like what Charles V of France said: Je parle français a homme, Italia au femme, espanol a deau, et allamen a mon chavel.Which I take to mean, French is diplomantic, Spanish is asture, German authortairan can Italian is HOT!
Then there are we italians that we consider easy italian because we were born in Italy🇮🇹 and our parents taught us italian.
Normal thing anyway. Because in any country in which you born, you learn its native language...
ahahaha perchè sono finita in questo video ?XD
Non lo so Anch'io ahahahahaahahah
In italy we study latin 😤😭😭
Bravo! Italian --- the language closest to Latin.
Reasons to learn Portuguese, please :D
I'm from Portugal.
Ahh! Ok, I'll add that one to the video to do list! :)
Cool ahahah :D
Un bel video, ciao da Dublino!
Song name?
There are several factors in teaching yourself to speak Italian easily . A place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Hartlyn language lessons (check it out on google) without a doubt the best resource that I've heard of. Check out all the extraordinary info .
In the truth Italian and French share 89% of lexical similarities and Italian and Spanish 82%. I just think that Spanish and Italian accents are more similar. I'll freak out the next time someone will ask me if I'm Spanish... Can't you hear the difference?
Hey..."it's me, Mario"! LOL ;)
Grazie mille! ;)

The "i" is silent in ragione.
Marco Roc The way she's pronouncing it doesn't sound wrong to me...
Madonna sei troppo forte.....you're explosive
Tu sei completamente pazza. Però sei simpatica e fai ridere😂
I use tapes
Just an advice for anyone learning italian... just try to speak Italian with whatever accent you have but do not pretend to fake Italian accent because it sounds silly and horrible! Also, I would translate “reasons” with “motivi” not “ragione”
Food, food, history and CALCIO !!!
ahahahah carina divertente ..brava..anzi bravissima ;)
Io sono italiano e non è questa la pronuncia
Wait gurl, frappuccino, mocha,... isn't italian...
food food food
oh fooooooood..
message to the world: stop speaking Italian with a sort of mix Argentinian-Polish accent.
You're so funny 💙💙
Thank you to save usin 1954 i will send you some taralli and some #GOODITALIANPIZZA
-ITALIAN PEOPLE
also spanish is close to latin, search more
But Italian is closer.
@@elainejones9299 italian is 12% far from latin, spanish 20%, but even this Sardinian is 8% far from vulgar latin
Actually the closest Romance language is Sardinian....
"They're not your trousers to poo on!" HA!
+Michael M haha! ;)
buongiorno, principessa!
Are you italian? Sei italiana?
ovviamente no, se no perché parlerebbe in quel modo?
I’m italian and i don’t know why i am here
È una bella lingua.
Video carino, l'accento alla Mario è un pò fastidioso perchè secondo me non c'entra nulla con la vera pronuncia della lingua che parlo, comunque parli un ottimo italiano :)
Could you avoid using that stereotypical accent which doesn't exist anywhere in Italy? Thanks
Prego.
I appreciate the effort and all, but your Italian accent dangerously verges on that of Super Mario... ;-)
Sorry Italian isn't the nearest language to Latin, Romanian is. Dai retta me cara ho vissuto qua per 47 anni.
the reason why italians are bad at english is that anywhere they go they find italians or someone who speak italian
experience
No it's because we have the habit/culture of dubbing and translating everything, that's why.
Gaia Rossi
, Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to learn italian by yourself try Tarbetti Amazing Italian Tutor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.
Italian or Romanian is the closest to Latin.
Italian between all 5 Latin languages is Not like latin. only the sound remember it.come back To school.
MarkShotokai actually a lot of Italian words are from latin ( and greek ) l o l
Ciao :) come stai ?
Io sono italiano
+YoursTruly ciao! :)
Ciao!Sto motlo bene,grazie,come stai?Io sono greca(this is my firt attemp in communicating in italian,correct me if i am wrong):)
Tutto giusto tranne "molto".
video carino
però hai rotto con sto accento...non è che parliamo tutti così ceh
What's with the accent?!😂
I think she was just overdoing it wkwk
Even some italian told me to stop learning because I am bad at writing one sentence
I'm sorry for that, I'm Italian and if you want I can help you with your writing or whatever, let me know
Few Thank you. I do have a questo so when asking politely or formally. you use lei right? like in the phrase lei parla italiano? this would be the correct why of saying this. ANd could you also try to eloborate on the use of da when you use it instead of di. Thank you
thank you all for the nice comments it rwally boosts my self esteem also when or how would I use il gerundio? perche` ho sentito che c'e` no ragione l'usare
brainman67 perché ho sentito che non c'è ragione di usarlo*
I'm pretty sure you're French.. 😂
mi dispiace la mia grammatica e` terribile sono canadese non francese hahaha diverntente. Grazie mille per mi aiutare
I thought the oldest living language closest to Latin is Romanian!
broken_butterfly Ahh ok, I could be wrong in terms of oldest but Italian is definitely closest in terms of vocab ;)
Lindsay Dow
I just want to send to step in as a speaker of Lingua Latina and say Italian is much closer than Romanian due to the slavic influences Romanian has. In fact, Spanish is closer to Italian than Romanian. Also, great job with the video I was honestly shocked you didn't have more subscribers so I subscribed! Here is data backed up my claim if you need it by the way:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_Romance_languages under degree of seperation :)

Non ho capito assolutamente nulla! X''''D
Ragione numero 10
They're racist
Not all of them. You can get racist people from any nationality.
Zoo è greco e deriva da Zoòn, il cui significato è animale. Fai pena.

Please stop this Mario accent
Sardinian is the closest living language to Latin, not Italian.
Please stop with the Mario accent. It’s really annoying.
Reason number 10: Italian is very useful if you want to work in the fashion system :)
Please stop with the Mario accent. It’s annoying.
