Thank you! These videos are so helpful. I feel like I am at an intermediate plateau. When I returned from the school in Bologna, I felt really confident and I was doing well but over the last week, I have struggled. I literally could not think of simple words that I know when I had my italki session on Sunday. Sometimes I feel like I will never get it.
Don’t worry, this happens to me all the time! Some weeks I genuinely feel like I can’t string together even the simplest sentences and it’s so frustrating. Or sometimes during my italki sessions I feel like I’m babbling nonsense and don’t know a lot of words. 😂 It happens, it’s all part of the process!
Great video - new subscriber here. Am picking back up Italian after not speaking it for 15 years! Your recommendations for TH-cam are so helpful as they are exactly the light kind of videos I was looking for. Thanks from Ireland!
This intermediate plateau thing is soooo real, specially because in daily conversations we won't see people using the congiuntivo, these connectives like "bensí, affinché, purché", therefore it is really difficult to remember all of them. One day I will get through and arrive at the c1 level, but so far I am still stuck 😅
You mean just trying to learn by immersing yourself in the language without traditional study methods? I’m not sure what you mean by acquisition method. I think immersing yourself with the language by listening to music and podcasts and watching TV series and movies and hearing people talk is helpful, but I think studying some grammar and vocabulary is essential so you can make sense of what you’re hearing.
I may have missed it but what’s the name of the website you use that gives you topics to talk about? I always just google random topic generator but I usually don’t like all the options it gives
I was using this website:www.pronhelp.com/cambridge-c1-advanced-speaking-parts-3-4/ Often I just look up English C1 or C2 level exam practice questions to use and then translate them into Italian!
L ' Italia e' tutta Bella e il cibo e' divino!! Quando Dio ha pensato di creare una Cosa e un luogo Bello lo ha fatto in Italia !! Non c'e' nient ' altro posto nella terra sublime come tale luogo!! VIVA l' Italia , VIVA Europe!!
@@SheaJordan Currently I study English and already I have studied Czech. I don't need nothing exams too however I want passing some exams for level B2 or C1 because I just want to make sure which level I have indeed 😂

Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Best of luck with reviving your Italian studying! 😊

Exactly! Those words are so rarely used 😂 and I still mix them up all the time, but I really want to practice them and do my best to use them.
Your suggestions are really helpful!!
Great tips. I started reading childrens books and now I've moved up to pre-teen/adolescent books. I'll try the tip of reading translated books. ☺️
Yay! That's great!
Appreciate this! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, what do you think about the acquisition method? I am learning as my wife is Italian.

will you be taking an exam for c1 or c2?
I don’t plan on it, I don’t really need it for anything. 🤷🏼♀️ But maybe it would be good to do/have!
