I wish duolingo would start you with the infinitive form of verbs before showing how to conjugate them....might not have to look up conjugation explanations on youtube then 😅
dont use duolingo...if you want to be fluent or at least conversational do not just use duolingo. Babble, Fluency forever are 2 good apps, i use them in conjunction with Anki and watching youtube and podcasts in italian.
How are you teaching 100x better than my Italian teacher? She always speaks Italian in the class and I can’t generate what she is trying to say. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
A couple of years ago for yes. But I am currently using your videos to help me learn Italian here in Italy. For my next trick I will try to understand the Naples dialect . 😳
Thanks so much for the video. I only started learning a week ago and I want to get on top of some of the conjugation work asap. Wish me luck! 🤞🤞 😂 and thanks again! 😁
Hey professor Dave. Do you have a video about Italian conjugation in general and how to master them? After two years I have been picking up a lot of vocabulary but the conjugations are overwhelming.
At 5:45 I'm confused as to why it's 'Gli spaghetti' and not 'i spaghetti'. I thought you only use 'Gli' when it's the plural form of a singular noun that uses l'. I.e, "Gli uomini bevono l'aqua" instead of "L'uomo beve l'aqua".
No its also the plural of the article "lo" (singular would be "lo spaghetto" or "lo zaino", plural is "gli spaghetti" "gli zaini") it's this way because it makes the words easier to pronounce (also it's "acqua" with a "c" every water related word is irregular and has a "c" before the "q" like "aquarium" = "acquario")
You speak Italian beautifully! Thanks for this explanation. The beginning of the lesson confused me a bit because the most important fundamental verb in English, To Be, is conjugated as I am,, you are, he is...all different endings...but maybe there aren't many verbs that do that in English...not sure!
Excellent. Grazie Millie. This is brilliant. On a different note, can you explain why there are some many different words for "what"? For example, come, che, che cosa, cosa, qual.
I'm a native romance language speaker but I still hate conjugating verbs. It only comes natural when you know a language by heart, not when you learn one 😢
That would require that I know how to pick up chicks! Sadly this has never been a skill of mine. But in general, I don't think that women mind chest hair.
gioco -- seems like the root of "joke" - to play leading to To Joke...or sharing a root...and the name Gio - Gioele...the playful one, maybe? Just riffin' here, Professor Dave.
I love the sound of these languages but 2 things I cannot and will never understand about Italian, French,.. - why do nouns even have genders, you just need a word to name the objects, absolutely confusing - second, why are there different verb forms for different subjects? It's the same action, make more sense if you just conjugate them based on the tenses. I know these have been around for so long, they make the language more distinct and unique. Still, these 2 things just make the language more complicated to learn, so sad.
Very good. With that beard and that hair I feel like Jesus is teaching me. By the way, I love to conjugate verbs because without them you can't make a sentence.😊
Grazie Professore Dave!
Thanks!
I had to slow down the audio to keep up, but I’m a beginner so maybe that’s why. Good tutorial. It was very clear and thorough.
ahahahaha mentre ego gnosco la favella porqè sum nato nel imperium dell'Italia!
Good luck mate♥
Ok you didnt have to tell us 😅
@@lksr2095 i mean she can share that if she wants to
@@lksr2095 and you didn't have to be a bitch about it,
I wish duolingo would start you with the infinitive form of verbs before showing how to conjugate them....might not have to look up conjugation explanations on youtube then 😅
Yeah, i wish duolingo taught grammar rules. Its like being told what a certain game is but not being told how to play it
Same here. Came from unclear Duolingo courses
dont use duolingo...if you want to be fluent or at least conversational do not just use duolingo. Babble, Fluency forever are 2 good apps, i use them in conjunction with Anki and watching youtube and podcasts in italian.
glad I'm not alone! lol
That's right. Conjugations should be taught at the start.😃
How are you teaching 100x better than my Italian teacher? She always speaks Italian in the class and I can’t generate what she is trying to say. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

Thanks so much for the video. I only started learning a week ago and I want to get on top of some of the conjugation work asap. Wish me luck! 🤞🤞 😂 and thanks again! 😁
Great vid. I love the comprehension section to test myself.
I wish he had read the results. It always helps hearing it in context.
Thanks a lot professor Dave these lessons are very helpful
Beautiful! Thank you!
I'M ACTUALLY NOT EXPECTING TO SEE A VIDEO OF YOU TEACHING A LANGUAGE
excellent job explaining this 👏
Thanks a bunch teacher for this remarkable explanation ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
you do it very well. i do have to pause it. but it was super good
Hey professor Dave. Do you have a video about Italian conjugation in general and how to master them? After two years I have been picking up a lot of vocabulary but the conjugations are overwhelming.
Unfortunately every tense is different, just go through the whole playlist and see what sinks in!
I'm italian you have a perfect pronunciation
Thank you soooo much
Nice one
Thanx it helped a lot 👍
Great pro

To be is the only one.
I am, you are, he is .... we still conjugate verbs in english. Just not as much as the romance languages. I run, he runs - still conjugates
thank you omfg
We conjugate in English too.
I was only confused when it said "noi mangiamo gli spaghetti" what does "gli" mean? Is it an article for the word spaghetti? Awesome video!
need simple past tense vdo
Excellent. Grazie Millie. This is brilliant. On a different note, can you explain why there are some many different words for "what"? For example, come, che, che cosa, cosa, qual.
'What (thing)' means 'che cosa', and even just 'che' or 'cosa' is used to say 'what'. 'Come' means 'how' and 'quale' means 'which'
please do a video about della, dalla ^_^
grazie mille xD
O chem and Italian!?!? He does know about tons of stuff
I'm a native romance language speaker but I still hate conjugating verbs. It only comes natural when you know a language by heart, not when you learn one 😢
grazie (:
Please do a video about how I can pick up chicks in Italy. Do they like messy chest hair or should I comb it?
That would require that I know how to pick up chicks! Sadly this has never been a skill of mine. But in general, I don't think that women mind chest hair.
Stick to african chicks
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Lol. I love your humility
You look like you are trying to see over a wall.

how can he teach so many subjects
c → ch
