I am learning Italian from an English perspective. Your teaching methodology is excellent. I appreciate you. You are making it easier for me to understand many concepts of Italian language learning. Thanks a lot.
Ciao Valentina. Great to hear that you focused in on a key part of teaching anything. You thought that your students knew certain basics but they didn't. I had this when I began my Italian language journey. I thought I knew what ' Parts of Speech ' were. My Italian teacher also thought I knew. I did not. Improving my grammar basics in English has helped me so much in Italian. Grazie a te per avere fatto questa lezione.
Grazie a te per il tuo commento! Yes, this experience is very common among all students. I think many Italian teachers take this knowledge for granted because we (as kids) study A LOT of grammar in school, and of course teachers go even deeper with their training. I'm glad if this series is helpful and can prevent this problem for students!
@@ItalianTeacherValentina Again, that's interesting. For certain age groups, such as mine, in the UK we really didn't do a lot of grammar at school at all. Endless spelling tests, yes, but overall grammar, no. You mentioned the word ' framework '. For me this helps so much. Grazie di nuovo.
This was extremely helpful! For some reason this never clicked for me until you said change what’s AROUND the NOUN. I would sometimes try to match the adjectives. Seeing what you type helps a lot as I am a visual learner. Grazie mille!
I'm glad it was helpful, Kristin! And that's one of the reasons why I included me typing, I think it also helps you follow my thought process more easily. ;)

Thank you Valentina I'm from Somalia 🇸🇴 you know south somalia colonized Italy mostly I know Italian language because my grandfather speaks some Italian language♥️🙏🇸🇴🇮🇹
Dear Asma, it doesn't matter here 'whether colonized or not colonized'! Here is a Valentina's class of learning Italian language. And thanks to professorezza
An excellent approach in clarifying these grammatical points Valentina. A question regarding adjectives...is it correct (in Italian) to use a noun as an adjective? For example, 'The wood door.'
Ottima domanda, Jeff! No, it's never possible to do that. Since "legno" is a noun, we need to treat it as such. We say "una porta DI legno", so we link the two nouns using the preposition "di", which is like saying - implicitly - "una porta (fatta) di legno" = "a door (made) of wood".

Grazie Mamun. "La" can have different meanings in Italian. One of the most common is "the" (so an article). I dohave a recorded live class on articles (including "la") available for purchase on my website, it's a 1-hour class with tons of examples and easy explanations of ALL the rules about articles in Italian Here's the link: www.valentinastellatutor.com/register/live-class-with-valentina-stella-12march22/
Yes, you can ask "Come si chiama?" to ask "What is his/her name?" or "Come si chiama questo/questa?" to ask "What is it called?" or "What is its name?" in Italian.
Describing adjectives usually go after the noun, with some exceptions. Demonstrative adjective (eg. quello/questo) and possessive adjective (mio, tuo..) go before the noun. But I'm going to make a video on this topic!
These are the best videos I have come across, and I have seen quite a few. One small question, So then to have gender agreement for the aggettivo, to write or say "a full glass" it would be, un bicchiere pieno, is that right? and "an empty cup" would be, una tazza vuota. Molte grazie !
No, pizza is a noun, and it is indeed feminine. But "mangio" is not a noun, it's a verb (conjugation of the verb "mangiare" = to eat for the 1st person singular "io"). Verbs do not change depending on the gender like nouns do. They change depending on the subject (io, tu, lui/lei...) and the tense (presente, passato...). Please have a look at the following video in this series where I talk specifically about verbs: ua-cam.com/video/Y7LrlV3gUWg/v-deo.html
Yes, it is masculine, but the number "uno" works like the indefinite article "uno" (a, an). We have 4 ways of saying "a, an" in Italian, which one you pick depends on the gender of the noun + the letter the noun begins with. So with masculine words beginning with consonants we need to use "un". If you need more help with articles, I have a whole class on the topic ;) : www.valentinastellatutor.com/register/live-class-with-valentina-stella-12march22/
Salve Valentina i kike how you left your mistake about the cup being full in the video showing that even the tutor makes mistakes and its just part of the process if we do. Grazie mille buona giornata

@@ItalianTeacherValentina siiii certo 😊..i saw already ❤️
Hello, do anyone know how to ask: What is his name? / What is her name? / (What is it called o what is its' name) in Italian.
Yes, you can ask "Come si chiama?" to ask "What is his/her name?" or "Come si chiama questo/questa?" to ask "What is it called?" or "What is its name?" in Italian.
Can I say 'tu' to everyone?
Like if someone older than me, can I use tu in formal or informal way ?
❤
Sei fantistico!!
❤❤
Grazie
Watching this one it brought to mind a question I had. When you are using a list of adjectives, is there any rules for what order you put them in?
Describing adjectives usually go after the noun, with some exceptions. Demonstrative adjective (eg. quello/questo) and possessive adjective (mio, tuo..) go before the noun. But I'm going to make a video on this topic!
@@ItalianTeacherValentina I was thinking of a list like, the red, big, old, French book.
These are the best videos I have come across, and I have seen quite a few. One small question, So then to have gender agreement for the aggettivo, to write or say "a full glass" it would be, un bicchiere pieno, is that right? and "an empty cup" would be, una tazza vuota. Molte grazie !
Esatto, Tom! Molto bene!
Good evening

where can i find part 2 of this class??
I haven't published it yet! I will in the upcoming weeks
Ciao Valentina, why is it mangio la pizza and not mangia la pizza if pizza ends with an a? Is pizza actually a masculine word?
No, pizza is a noun, and it is indeed feminine. But "mangio" is not a noun, it's a verb (conjugation of the verb "mangiare" = to eat for the 1st person singular "io").

my teacher said "uno" is masculine. i was wondering why i cannot say " Uno Bicchiere vuoto".
Yes, it is masculine, but the number "uno" works like the indefinite article "uno" (a, an). We have 4 ways of saying "a, an" in Italian, which one you pick depends on the gender of the noun + the letter the noun begins with. So with masculine words beginning with consonants we need to use "un".
If you need more help with articles, I have a whole class on the topic ;) : www.valentinastellatutor.com/register/live-class-with-valentina-stella-12march22/
For instance, if I was going to say, Please bring me that big, white, tall, French cup.
You r very good looking... Miss I am from pakistan
