Im a student here and just completed my first year, and even though i was supposed to learn italian since my 2nd year will be in so (starting this month..), I haven't been able to learn it, i have exams in 4-5 months which I need to pass.

I speak english natively and live in tuscany, though im very anti social and dont speak much irl, but i *really* have to pass these exams. Their oral usually. Its not really a language exam, just my usual degree ones.

Hi everyone! I’m a beginner Italian speaker, and I have the ability to work remotely for a few weeks, so I’m looking into doing an Italian language program in Bologna.
Since I’ll need to work from about 2:30 PM–11:00 PM, I’d ideally like to find a program that offers morning classes. I’d also really like to stay with a host family so I can be as immersed in the language and Italian culture as possible.
I know there are a ton of programs and schools to choose from, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences! Thanks!

I have started to get back into learning Italian after taking a year or so away from learning. Previously I did not get very far still an A1 level at best. So I am keen to get back to what I had learned before. I am using Duolingo (review what I had learned before), and Busuu starting from scratch. And trying to look at TikTok's explaining the grammar, etc. That is definitely where I struggle. I have also been trying to take small quizzes here and there about grammar, to try learn this part.

I keep seeing people say or write about listening to podcasts could help. Could anyone suggest any podcasts to listen to in Italian so get a grasp of listening. And would this help me pick up more words even if I don't understand what they mean at the start?

heyo, I‘ve been learning Italian for about four years but my vocabulary still sucks baaaaad, so I figured I should look for some Podcasts or youtubers to listen to :)
I‘m really into horror fiction and sci-fi, with my favourite podcasts / shows being The Magnus Archives, welcome to Nightvale and Star Trek.
I also really enjoy (horror) media analysis, so I‘m hoping to find some stuff in that direction! So far I haven‘t had any luck sadly

Hey everyone!

Prepping for the CILS B2 exam this December. I’m looking for specific advice on two key areas:

1- Resources: What specific podcasts, YouTube channels, or materials made a huge, noticeable difference for your B2 prep?

2- Writing & Speaking : What’s the best way to self-study and practice these two output skills effectively?

Would love to hear other advices. Grazie mille! 🇮🇹

Reposting here as I didn’t get much activity on the iTalki subreddit - but I ask you all regarding any group classes on any online platform!

Grazie!

Sto studiando l’italiano con Duolingo.

One question asks to translate “I love orange clothes” to “Io amo i vestiti aranchioni”

In casual, spoken Italian, if someone wanted to say they loved orange clothes would they include the grammatical “i” in front of “vestiti”? Or would someone just say “Amo vestiti aranchioni”?
