Italian Translation?

How do you say "Why does it always feel like I'm caught in the undertow?" in Italian?

How do I learn Italian?

I really want to learn Italian but I don't want to to go to school to learn. Can someone give me names of programs, websites or anything that will really works good. Also I want to know how long it will take to learn the language? Please answer because I need ideas. Thank you so much!!!

Italian politics, and are more North American than ANYTHING, have all this Italian pride???

My brother and father pronounce the word Italian ''Eh-tie-in.'' My mother and I pronounce it ''Eh-tal-yin.'' I've heard some southerners say ''I-tal-yin.'' Most people seem to say it ''Eh-tal-yin'' or something close to that. I honestly have never heard one person say it in the way my brother or dad has. Have you? It seems weird because it'd be impossible to say the word Italy without an L. I have no clue why they'd drop it.

italian translation.?

I want to get a tattoo that says, in Italian, "I will find a way or I will make another." Or something like that. (example. if it makes more sense to translate it i will find a way or create another..).
I'm looking for some help! I don't trust the translation websites.
help from a native speaker or someone really familiar with the language!!

(this is what the websites have given me: mi trovero un modo o porro un altro (accent over the second o in porro).

thanks soooo much!

Question about being able to speak Italian.?

I'm deaf. I can speak english very well, but i have hard time believing that i would be able to speak other languages. for an example I thought if i speak english not so quite perfect does that mean i will not do well with Italian language.

I already know quite a bit of Spanish and am interested in taking Italian. I want to get both done fast, and taking them at the same time seems to be the only way. I just don't want to get the two mixed up. Any Ideas or experience? Thanks

i need a spanish and italian translation?

i need the spanish and italian translation for love never fails i drew a tattoo and have it written in english but im not so sure i want it in english

Is it hard learning italian?

I want to talk in Italian. I thought it was elegant.
Some words are kind of hard to say.

I will NOT be going to a Spanish country but will be taking 2 classes a week of two hours. I already speak French and Italian quite well. How long will it take me? Also, I intend to watch Spanish TV as often as I can and use Spanish as often as I can on the internet.

I would like a program that has all forms of verbs (past, future, present). Any advice is helpful thanks!

This is an old italian proverb. I would like to know how the original proverb is actually worded in Italian.

This is for AP European History. I have no clue what to talk about. I looked in my book but found nothing. Help me please. All I know is that it reintroduced new ideas on intellectual, social, cultural, ext levels. Scholars studied and people began to look at things in a new perspective. Big deal?! That still doesn't help me. :/

For eg. Mercy means Thanks in English... Can you list some more basic vocabulary words in French and Italian as well.

thanks :)

The other day, my friend, who I think has a thing for me said "grazi, anatoli" and i don't know what anatoli means. i don't even know if i'm spelling it right. if you think you know what word i'm trying to translate i would appreciate it, if you think its a different word, or if know the word for boyfriend, or love or nething like that i would also appreciate it. btw , just incase you forgot this is Italian were talking about. alright thanks

Can you help me with my Italian?

I have been trying to teach myself Italian for about 6 months. I have CDs, computer programs, activity books. I was wondering if anyone knew of any social websites or websites that people can talk to each other. Or if any native Italian speakers would like to have a pen pal so I can practice my Italian.

How do you say that (and pronounce that, preferably using English phonemes) in Italian?

What is the best way to learn Italian?

Im taking italian for the first time and im having a hard time understanding it.. between the spelling and memorizing all these knew words.

I say it faking an italian accent, like what you'd hear on TV or stuff. I don't know ifs how they really talk and I know some may not like piza. But my friends say its ignorant. Is it?

I'm 13 and I want to learn Italian because Family is moving there soon and I want to make friends.

Its a pretty straight forward question i know, but im going into civil engineering, and two of my life goals is to learn italian and visit Italy. (a college in the USA)

the Author of the book is Anita Rai
-- also, in what languages the book is translated to?
thanks

Does anyone know how to speak italian here?

There is a girl who supports AS ROMA is chatting with me so she wrote me this:

ke kalciatore preferisci?

then i tried a translator and i think she has a mistake in her spelling.

Does anyone knows what this means?

Should I learn italian in milan or florence?

I was told florence is boring at night with not much to do after you've seen all the art stuff, but I don't know if it's good to learn italian in milan. I don't want to go to Rome because my girl friends told me that the men there are very rude and impolite always cat calling & hassling women on the street. So I guess it's either milan or florence. Which one should I choose?

Italian translation?

Please translate or give me a translation site for Venezia.
