I started learning italian 2 weeks ago. I have a passion and I'm driven to learn it. Italian is such a beautiful language and a part of my culture. My deceased mother was Italian but she didn't speak italian but she was italian in personality. My father was native american and I was raised mostly as native but I carried italian traits and personality that was like my mother and italian different from my native side. Now I'm learning italian. I feel my deceased italian mother would be proud of me. Writing is such a passion for me and I'm learning italian by writing in it and reading my work and italian language materials. I started my own book in English now I'm going to rewrite the first couple of pages from English to italian. Ironic my book is a native american drama,action love story and I'll have it finished in italian someday. Native people like your weird your crazy. I do everything from my heart. Thanks for this video. I've herd of this amazing special lady and she's a big inspiration to me. If she can do it I can do it.
Buona fortuna. Ogni lingua è unica e l'italiano è...
Semplicemente l'italiano, probabilmente
Grazie per il sostegno. L'italiano è la lingua del padre di mia madre. È decisamente diventato parte di me
Tanti auguri MIchaelbark! Buon viaggio!!
She not learned italian, made a very different and complex (definitely much more fascinating) journey; she has totally immersed herself in the language and culture of the country, with a desire and a passion hard to find in others people.
I have never heard any native eng speaker (and not just eng) have this command of italian.
I'm sorry for my "google-eng" (unfortunately for me, I'm not like her).
Bravissima Jhumpa Lahiri! Il suo comando della lingua italiana e' straordinario!
Jhumpa Lahiri has convinced me to learn Italian. I'm spellbound :)
learn sanskrit or tamil
The book is marvelous -- a thoughtful treatise on the freedoms and limitations inherent in writing in a second language, and the joy and poignancy of falling in love with a culture that is not one's own. But I feel that Ann Goldstein's English translation subverts the tone, rhythms, and flow of Lahiri's original Italian text.
Bellissimo libro! Grazie per aver scelto l'italiano. O grazie all'italiano per aver scelto te! ;) Siamo fortunati ad avere e parlare una lingua che per Thomas Man è quella degli angeli. Trattiamola bene!
Pure quella della bellezza, l'Opera, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, e nel mezzo del cammin' di Dante!
How remarkable! I happened upon this author while reading an article about a lady translator, Ann Goldstein, who has translated for both Mrs. Nahiri and for Elena Ferrante. It has just mushroomed from there. Now I have so many books to read in the future. For Mrs. Nahiri to go to live in Italy, learn Italian, write a book in that language, and let another person translate it into English is incredible. The very best to all of you.
do you mean "Lahiri"?
Lahiri, not Nahiri
I've got really curious about her books since i watched some other videos on which she speaks italian and then i googled her to know a bit about this woman.
Maybe i'll become one of her readers.
IKDL Turn that 'maybe' into a definitely. 🙂
Sandokan's younger sister.....Bellissima! 😍😍😍
where can I buy your books? I am presently working here in Brescia, Italy. I really am in great difficulty to learn the Italian language. I really needed an inspiration to boost my zest to never stop hoping that I will improve especially when it comes to speaking. Sono qui in Italia da due anni. I feel limited and not so spontaneous when it comes to speaking. Please let me know where to buy in cash her books with audio. Grazie a voi.
Ciao S. Monica Monica.
Parto con il dire che il tuo italiano è ottimo, e non devi sentirti affranta se non riesci ad esser spontanea con questa nuova lingua. Solo il tempo ti potrà aiutare.
Detto questo, se vuoi trovare il suo audiolibro di "In altre parole" nelle librerie in Italia ti sarà un po' impossibile.
Tuttavia puoi fare due cose:
1) ordinarlo da Amazon.com
o
2) chiedere, in una libreria, se è possibile ordinare questo audiobook.
S. Monica Monica
Don't give up 💪
Rita De Stefano , thanks for the encouragement!
S. Monica Monica Quando vuoi. Ma potrei farti una domanda???.
Da dove vieni?.
Rita De Stefano vengo dalle filippine, cara.
I feel Sorry for wrongly commenting on the changing the writing by the Esteemed erudite Professor of the English to French instead of the ITALIAN and regret wholeheartedly in a haste .
As Italian, I admire her also from other videos and interviews. I am surprised how much some foreigners want to learn my mother tongue (and I learned few other foreign languages), but anyway, I am surprised how much Italians are destroying Italian. There is a replacement of italian words with english ones, often changing the meaning of the original english word, and FORGETTING the italian word that was used just one day before. This maybe is happening also in other languages, but maybe in Italian more than others. This process should be stopped, reversed or at least reduced somehow, else it will destroy all the languages.
Какая красивая
I never thought learning a language cud transform ur life
l'Italiano non è una lingua è la Lingua.
Who is she?
Francesco Bonfiglio Lei è una scritrice, vincitrice di un Pulitzer.
IKDL I don't know Italian but because of my love for human beings, as a Muslim, I greet you all with the salutation of Peace!
IKDL Means she is a writer and winner of the Pulitzer Prize. I don't know Italian but my heart translated your words for me. Islam is opening your heart and believing in and surrendering to the One and Only True God and obeying His commandments.
E' una scrittrice
This sounds very self-conscious and pretentious. People pick up new languages as adults all the time. Not a big deal at all.
This female cannot read or write Bengali which is technically her mother-tongue - her parents are of Indian-Bengali extraction.
The only hateful comment and of course it had to come from a fellow national. Really sad. I hope you find joy in your life.
