I don't know how I should talk to this guy if I can't speak English really well..I mean I know it but I have an accent and I think I sound stupid..

I am Italian and 21..

i am a complete beginer in italian and had to write an ending to a farm animal story using some specific vocabulary words. is my italian correct? does it make sense? help.

Gli animali cominciano costrurire una fattoria nuova e rossa. Quando gli animali finiscono la gallina grida " Adesso noi lavoriamo per rendere prodotti. La pecora e l'anatra vanno a citta ( accent on the "a") per vendere i loro prodotti. Qunado gli animali diventano ricci , loro visitano il contadino chi abbita alla montagna. Quando gli animali arrivano alla montagna loro danno il contadino un regalo.

translated:
the animals begin to build a new and red farm. when the animals finish the chicken screams " now we work to make products." the sheep and duck go to the city to sell their products. when the animals become rich they visit the farmer who lives in the mountain. when the animals arrive at the mountain they give the farmer a gift.

I'm 16 and I've always wanted to learn since I was little. I'm pretty good with the accent and im ~okay~ with pronounciation. I know a few words and phrases already, but I would like to be able to hold a conversation. I'm not so worried about the writing/grammar stuff, just conversation!!

How long will it take me to learn it? Is it difficult? I'm very lazy and I don't want to give up. Does anyone have any advice or tips?? Please, I will appreciate anything!!

My first language is Spanish, but I learned English at age 4 living in the US. I want to learn a language online over the course of this year, but I want to consider which is easier, which accent I can achieve, which is more practical, etc.

So please, pros and cons of learning Italian or French, and while you're at it, any free sites to study either language that you might recommend?

Hello!
I recently purchased an antique postcard with an Italian phrase on the front. The image pictures a man and a woman. They are each in a window. The woman looks forward and the man is looking to the side from his window at the woman. It is a bit difficult to explain....anyway this is what is said below; can anyone translate it for me?

Oh! Qual gentil belta s'affaccia!

The word belta may read as belta' but I'm not certain if an accent is there or not.

Many thanks!
Also, I would like a human translation, I have tried online sources but haven't had much luck

I'm Mexican and I'm learning Italian. I just wanna know if our accent sounds bad or good when we speak Italian.
Thanks!

If you met an Italian citizen speaking English, did you understand that he/she was Italian as soon as he/she started talking?

We, Italian people, have different accents in every region.
So I'd like to know if this difference is evident even when we speak another language.
So what about the sicilian accent? is it evident too?

Could you answer, please? I'm curious. =)

My parents are from Argentina, and Spanish was my first language until I was 2... but living in America I lost my accent. But I can still speak Spanish pretty well, except my grammar is off because I was never formally educated on the language, I just learned by ear... My parents would speak to me in Spanish and I would respond in English.

So, is Italian easy to learn if the person already knows Spanish?

Have you heard some italians talk? They talk real fast and sometimes it sounds funny. It is almost as syllabic as Japanese. But Japanese and Korean languages(all the altaic ones) get mistaken for a cantonese/viet/filipino language and accent.

Why do the english make fun of italians when their language is based in latin?

I have a character who is an italian knight who has lived in italy most of his life but does speak a little english. How do I go about showing his accent in his dialogue? Any ideas!

Is it like mandarin wherein you change the accent and he sentence gets an entire new meaning? or can you talk in a monotonous manner and people will till understand you?.

Giada from the food network.
ugggh. its so annoying.
if you are going to talk with an accent, then say EVERYTHING with an accent not just some things like "ammarette" and "prociutto"

why does she do this?

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!

and i was born/grew up in america , but i am italian and when i talk really fast or if im mad i will start talking with just a little bit of an accent.why ?

People from Buenos Aires I hear speak with a Neapolitan accent, but how many actually speak Italian as a first language?
