I've been told Rosetta Stone is good but its EXPENSIVE. What programs or books or methods in general do you recommend for learning a second language? I'm in my early 20s live in america and work full time and am hoping to go back to school so I don't have a huge budget and sadly won't be speaking it regularly.

I speak predominately abruzzese, but also napulitano, and of course standard italian as well. Lately I have been finding myself speaking in abruzzese which is confusing to everyone else :p

I've read on web that some people actually think that many Italians are like "guidos" (this word doesn't even make sense in Italian), and they act like in Jersey Shore...
PLEASE, tell me that not all of you think this lol!
(I'm talking about Italian people FROM Italy btw)...

I have an Italian passport/ I am a resident, but I live in South Africa, my mom is from Italy. I am a 19 year old male and would like to enroll, but understand a bit of Italian and can only speak a little bit. So yeah do I need to be fluent in Italian to join?

Also is there a proper English version of their military website, as I always get error when I click on it.

Thank You.
Sorry: Do I have to necessarily speak Italian to join the Italian military? **
I would like to be part of the Italian airborne if they have, if not just infantry.

Does anyone know how you would say this phrase in Italian? "learn by doing" When I run it through an online translator I get impari facendo..when I run this back in English it comes out as "it learns making? Appreciate any help out there..thanks

You know the way a french man or italian man sounds talking English, you can tell it apart. But what about a English person talking Spanish.

I don't know when you joined us or how long you have been with us but I know that we enjoyed your company... I certainly did. Even though I wasn't able to talk to you much, I still enjoyed the few times we had (I particarly liked your enthusiasm). So I wish you all the best. You will certainly be missed.

i want to learn... so please send the free sites my way ...thanks

If you go to like 5 different pizzarias you will see what im talking about

I don't speak Italian very well, but I'm fluent in English and have been all my life. Actually I grew up speaking English so is my native language English or Italian?
Let me be clear though. My family speaks Italian too. And I can speak it. It is just that I guess I picked up more on english than I did on the Italian. I'm more comfortable with English.

I'm looking for some advice from a Native Italian as to which translation is the most accurate. I'm looking for a short phrase which is based around hope, or never giving up hope in the context of the hope that difficulties won't last forever and that in time I will overcome them. I looked at a few possibilities I've put below I just wanted to know are they correct in the translation relating to the context and that they are about myself (female). Thank you in advance

Don't lose hope = non perdere la speranza but some list it as non perdere mai la speranza and I dont understand the differences.

Non perdere mai la speranza nell'inseguire i tuoi sogni? Which I believe means never lose hope while following your dreams.

Or just the word 'Hope' I believe is just the verb Sperare but I'm not sure if it would be Speranza
Thank you both for your answers they help greatly )

My native language is Spanish. Also I speak English, and I'm trying to learn a new language, what language is more similar to Spanish and what could be easier for me?

He looks, acts and talks like an Italian.

-Bravo eheh. Non esagerare però

-ahahaha okok e perchè hai messo krotone

and one more thing how do you say this in italian.
-i forgot what i said.

I want to learn how to speak Italian, but my mom doesn't want to buy me Rosetta Stone and she said that the only way I'm going to learn Italian is if I teach it to myself. I already bought a Italian-English Dictionary and I know the days and months, but that's about it. How hard would it be to teach myself?

I am writing to my grandpa who is Italian, and understands little English, so please, please, help me translate this into Italian. "Hello Grandpa, happy eightieth birthday, i hope you are having a good time in Italy, I look forward to seeing you when you get home, bye." ------"p.s. is the pasta better then yours?"

Im really interested in learning languages, and i really want to learn italian. Im good at languages, I take french and spanish in school, and i do well. But how can i learn? I havent found a website to learn it on, and i want to save rosetta stone for a harder language like russian or chinese. my school doesnt offer any more languages. what should i do?

Does anyone know the meaning of these 2 comments?? They were made in casual conversation, so they would be the casual translation-
1st comment
"Ciao cugi, sono tuo cugino devi che cazzo fait te lai fatta una trombata anche x me"
2nd comment
"Ciao cugi, ci io fatto danti trombati anche per te;)"

If anyone could help me out that would be great!! Thanks!

I need to know how to say "you are very beautiful" to a girl who speaks Italian.

Correctly though, sometimes google translate uses the wrong tense of words, and in some languages, the word is pronounced differently depending on who youre saying it to.

Thanks!

Its a movie i saw on tv yesterday and i never got the name of it. It was about a boy that is given the name C by this mobster/ bar owner named sonny and C's father is a bus driver in the film. C has a crush on this african american woman which he first saw on his fathers bus, and her name is Jane Williams I think. If anyone knows what i am talking about please give me the name of this movie Thanks

Here are the lyrics:

Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno lo dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi,
Sento che ci salverà
