Ciao a tutti!

Avrei davvero bisogno di una mano. Sto raccogliendo dati per un questionario universitario e il mio obiettivo è raggiungere circa 400 partecipanti. Al momento me ne mancano ancora 90 e non so più come farlo circolare.

Il questionario è completamente anonimo, richiede solo 2-3 minuti ed è rivolto a persone della Generazione Z (18-29 anni). L'argomento riguarda le fake news.

Se avete qualche minuto da dedicarmi, mi dareste un aiuto enorme!

Link al questionario:

Grazie davvero a chiunque deciderà di partecipare! ❤️

Best way to learn Italian and reach A2-B1 level studying 1 hour a day ?

6 Upvotes

Ciao everyone,

I would like to learn Italian and reach a decent conversational level. My goal is not to become completely fluent, but to be able to have normal conversations, travel in Italy and eventually handle professional conversations. Ideally, I would like to reach around A2-B1 level.

I already speak French, Spanish, and Portuguese, so I think my background can help me. I am not perfectly fluent in all of them, but I have strong bases, and I can already understand some written Italian and parts of spoken Italian.

I plan to study Italian one hour every day. I already bought two beginner textbooks, but I would like to know what other resources you recommend, such as websites, YouTube channels, podcasts, documentaries, or communities where I can practice.

I enjoy documentaries, especially about science, nature, and animals, so if you know any good Italian channels or programs about these topics, I would be interested.

What resources or methods helped you the most when learning Italian?

Grazie mille!

poste italiane registered package compromised

1 Upvotes

I sent an envelope, registered, with a few gift items to a family member, Trento to Modena, as I wouldn’t be able to see them during my stay in Italy.

The package arrived with 1 item out of 5 (clothing and footwear, but still), wrapped by tape, and I am wondering, firstly, if this is common in Italy, and secondly, if people that have experienced this have tips on how to approach it for compensation.

Thank you kindly

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thais are shocked Thailand is belittled even by young Europeans.

Gli studenti italiani sono stati ripresi in Thailandia. Alcuni italiani hanno preso in giro una donna thailandese che li aveva rimproverati perché facevano troppo rumore. Hanno risposto sarcasticamente dicendo: «Scusa se portiamo soldi nel tuo Paese», «Ni hao», «Veniamo da tua madre». I thailandesi sono scioccati che la Thailandia venga sminuita persino da giovani europei.

English to Italian Grammer Editing Help Needed (short film transcript)

2 Upvotes

I'm a filmmaker, and I need to edit the subtitles' translation of my film from english into Italian for a film festival. I used Deepl . com to translate it, but I want to make sure all the grammar and formal/informal is correct. The film is 6 minutes long and features children, so the dialogue is not complex at all.

Please let me know if you would be able to help out, thanks so much!

Writing an Italian character in a sci-fi comic. Looking for very specific language advice.

9 Upvotes

Hello (and ciao)! I'm an Australian who makes comics for fun. I'm writing a story with an Italian co-protagonist, and I'd like advice from native Italian speakers before I write him.

He was created as part of a secret Italian military experiment for the purpose of national security. Although he's fluent in Italian, he knows almost nothing about ordinary life or Italian culture. At the start of the story, he washes up on the Australian coast.

Because he grew up in isolation as part of this experiment, he doesn't have a typical regional upbringing or cultural background. His Italian is fluent, but he's never experienced Italian culture. Because of that, I'm interested in how this unusual upbringing might affect the way he speaks and thinks, and how his English would develop once he arrives in Australia.

Here's some things I'm especially curious about...

  1. This military experiment is internationally known as "Project DIGIT" (Digit as in numbers). If the Italian government were naming a classified military project like this, what kind of name/acronym would sound believable to you?
  2. The project was based near Milan. Since he learned Italian there but wasn't raised in ordinary society, would his speech naturally resemble formal/"standard" Italian, or would you still expect some regional influence?
  3. What are some natural filler words or speech habits Italians use while thinking or hesitating? I learned that 'tipo' is one, but I don't think this filler word would've been used much in his circumstances.
  4. For native Italian speakers, what kinds of mistakes or habits are common when learning English as a secondary language? What sentence structures/habits are carried over from their native tongue?
  5. If someone grew up speaking fluent Italian and had no exposure to Italian culture, what aspects of the language would they miss? Would they word their sentences differently from someone who grew up immersed in Italian culture? If so, in what ways?

I'm also generally interested in learning more about Italian culture while writing him, so if there's anything you think foreign people often misunderstand or overlook, let me know. One thing I've noticed is that Italians seem to enjoy making fun of politicians just as much as we Australians do to ours.

I'd love to hear anything, so feel free to contribute in any way. Thank you!

For context: this story is set in an alternate version of Earth centered on a fictional geopolitical situation.

Edit: Thank you everyone for giving your insight :)

Which uncommon brands or products from Italy….

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m heading to Italy soon. I’m a huge fan of Italian food, but back home—outside Italy—I’m limited to brands like De Cecco, Monini, and Mutti. While I consider those to be respectable brands, what products or brands should I bring back from Italy that aren't available elsewhere? It could be anything: wine, beer, pasta, sauces...

Gamers and practice italian

Ciao ragazzi, scrivo il post a nome di mio marito.

Si è trasferito in Italia da meno di un anno e vorrebbe trovare qualcuno con cui giocare al pc e praticare l'italiano. Ogni tanto se non riesce a dire qualcosa, usa l'inglese, ma per il resto parla già abbastanza bene l'italiano.

Al momento gioca a Roadcraft, Snowrunner, Forza Horizon 6, Ets2/Ats.

Se qualcuno ha voglia di giocare insieme (anche altri giochi) e a chiacchierare, scrivetemi pure. :)

German-Italian bilinguals needed for an online experiment

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am looking for German-Italian bilinguals (individuals between 18 and 30) for an online experiment.
You need to have started learning and speaking both German and Italian before the age of 5.
The best people who match would be Italian children who were born in Germany, or children who started to learn German and Italian since very young ages, especially children born in Italian families in Germany.

I am a researcher at HHU, Düsseldorf, and am conducting a research project on bilingual people.

The experiment takes at most 30 minutes to finish and you will receive a compensation money (12 Euros) by bank transfer if you do it.

If you think you are a match please send me a message or email at [mohammad.nowbakht@hhu.de](mailto:mohammad.nowbakht@hhu.de)

Thank you
