BECOME FLUENT IN ITALIAN: Beginner & Advanced Language Lesson in Tuscany, Italy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello Italophiles and passionate language students. I hope this episode on the confusing but crucial verb 'piacere' will give you more confidence on your path to becoming fluent in Italian. Don't give up - learning Italian can be overwhelming but with daily study, you can grow your vocabulary and grasp of the grammar and if you speak the phrases along with me, hopefully also your pronunciation. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You can find recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

Buongiorno! As I always say, I don’t consider myself fluent - I still have much to learn in Italian but so many of you have asked for another language lesson and hopefully there is something useful for you in hearing how I approached this language, as a self-taught English speaker. 😘😘😘🇮🇹
*The verb "pleasure" is an intransitive verb, which can have an impersonal or personal form.*
*Impersonal form*
What pleases is the subject of the sentence and can be placed at the beginning or end of the sentence.
The person who expresses the preference is the indirect object (or complement of term), introduced by the preposition A "to" (to me, to you, to Mario etc.). "A Mario piace la pizza" Pizza (subject) is pleasing to Mario (indirect object).
The indirect object can be expressed with a name (a Mario piace ...), with a pronoun of strong form (a me piace ...) or with a pronoun of weak form (mi piace ...).
The verb is conjugated to the third person singular (piace) or plural (piacciono): A Mario piace la pizza / A Mario piacciono le pizze.
*Personal form*
The subject is the person who is liked: me, you, him, her, us, you, them, etc.
The indirect object is the person who expresses the preference: to me, to Mario, to someone, to everyone, etc.
Maria piace a Stefano. Maria (subject) is liked by Stefano (indirect object).
*Auxiliary form*
In compound times, the verb "pleasure" wants the auxiliary to be. "La pizza mi è piaciuta" Pizza was pleasing to me / "Le pizze mi sono piaciute" Pizzas were pleasing to me.
Kylie Flavell thank you, I’ve found the transcript function on TH-cam to be invaluable for learning a language, definitely a good learning tool for your students, maybe worth including in a vid? You can easily click back and forth to practice pronunciation and put subtitles in English at same time 👍😊it’s awesome 😎
Sei molto brava e spieghi ottimamente la grammatica, ma parli troppo in inglese, io per migliorare io mio inglese cerco video inglese, penso che chi vuole imparare l'italiano preferirebbe sentirti parlare prevalentemente in italiano
You sound pretty fluent to me.
Sentire a te a parlare , sia Italiano, sia Inglese è un momento unico de sentire come un agelo sta a parlare, sono parole che ci da un piacere de sentire..e doppo con questo bel riso, riempe il cuore ... sei una belissima ragazza, cumplimenti...
The most melodic language, they talk and you think they are singing, I mean how wonderful is that, and also one of the most beautiful countries! I ❤ Italy! Grazie Kylie.
Io sono Italiano
George Constantinou sono italiano anche io . They speak an Italian with Tuscan accant
Please take a tour to India
Matteo Fornasaro Allora sei tu quel “Matteo” di cui lei parla nel video ? :)
I think that came for the embodiment of ancient greek language melodic given to italian thanks to the monks that studied ancient greek
Love how creative you are with the videos
My grandparents came from Italy. Well, three of four. One was born on an Apache reservation. I've always felt more in touch with my Italian roots, but I have never made the effort to become fluent. I started this week.
you re developing a strong florentine accent... keep it up
Ooh I've just seen this after posting my comment: that's interesting!
My boyfriend from Rome told me the Italians consider the Tuscan accent the most beautiful in Italy.
@@beautifulspirit7420 italians like mocking every dialect apart from their own
everytime i went visiting my relatives on the south, they were laughing of my aspirated florentine "C"... and i was always mocking them by saying i needed live subtitles when they talked cause i had no idea what they were saying
Ms. Kylie Flavell, This world is so much better because you are in it.
I'm so glad you explained how to say "me too" in response to piacere. I've totally been saying "anche io" 🙈but now I'm going to start saying "anche a me"
Julia Martin Glad you found that useful. I was running around Italy for about a year grinning and crying out “Anch’iooooooooo!!” every five seconds until someone discreetly told me it was incorrect. 🙈
Great video - very, very helpful. So useful to hear an English speaker not only translating the words, but translating the context and use of Italian meaning. Thanks!
So helpful! I’ve been trying to teach myself Italian while in quarantine, and have been slowly catching on. But hearing how Italians truly speak rather than the books/apps, is so helpful! Thank you! You have such a genuine and positive vibe. ❤️
Jessica A these TH-cam sights are great too: learn Italian with Lucrezia, Italy made a Easy and if you like cooking Cucina Botanica. 👍😊
Nikki G I love Lucrezia’s content! I’ll have to check out the others! Thanks!
Me too. I still think that I'm in kindergarden. Subscribed to those blogs, borrowed books from the library and purchased grammar book and dictionary. I'll see. Good luck
Kylie, you’ve inspired me to learn Italian. We vacationed in Italy a few years ago and we fell in love. My husbands family is from the town of Buscemi and Bucchari in Sicily.
Love your video...I have been taking Italian lessons for almost a year. It has been so much harder to understand than I thought it would be but I'm absolutely in love with the language...watching videos like these help so much to take what I'm learning and put it into context. Dreaming of the day when I can carry on a conversation in Italian.
This was one of the most pleasant lessons I've ever watched. Thank you so much
I am IN LOVE with your incredible soul!!! Thank so much for creating this magical art, I am at the beginning of my Italian journey ( with plans to move) and I am so deeply grateful to have stumbled across your channel! Becoming a Patreon! Grazie MIlle!!
Great Content Kylie! I started to follow your channel for a couple of weeks now, and it has motivated me to start learning Italian. Keep up the good work!
samantha hernandez Welcome! So glad you like it! 😘
I love this, I have been studying Italian for a while and find your videos practical and very helpful. I understand most everything I read or hear but putting my thoughts into words is more challenging. I automatically go to Spanish sometimes but I'm trying to overcome that lol.
I really hope that you keep making fluency videos and I really appreciate it!!!
I have only recently discovered your videos and am enjoying watching them so much. Thank you!
Buongiorno Kylie three years into the future how inspiring this video it’s prompted my Italian lessons you are an articulate teacher already I’m sticking little cards with phases around the house grazie mille as always your videos are fabulous uplifting my days Amore💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟
Wow lady sei bravissima! Best Italian language lesson EVER, I’m italian and self taught polyglot too and this is awesome 👏 😎
OMG ~ I discovered your channel purely by accident (frankly, I have no idea how I could have missed you at all) and I am in love with Italia, and do plan on making the move soon. I must say also that you are sooooooooooooooo amazing. Your enthusiasm, your joy; your love of "BEING" is just so phenomenal; I can start my day my fantastically, just by firing up one of your videos, and beginning on an endorphin high ! Suffice to say I learn something each time I come to you, AND I am ALWAYS in a better mood (even when I come to you already feeling good!) when I leave to begin my day, I love to learn, and, to learn from someone who's sooooooooo full of life and love as you are, is doubly fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderful service, thank you for that brilliant, brilliant smile and attitude. I just adore everything about you. Your husband is truly, a greatly blessed man in the gift God has given him, in you ! ! ! My life is better because I found your channel. THANK YOU SO MUCH . P.S. Your Italian teaching is much more fun than my CD's.
This was really helpful. I've been practicing daily for almost 600 days with an app. I feel like I have a lot of the basics down but need to start looking for other sources to really start to pull thing together. These kinds of videos are helpful for that.
Mi piace tantissimo :) imparare l'italiano guardando i tuoi videos.
You're great and the scenery is as usual breathtaking!!
Grazie di cuore.
Baci dal Brasile
I wish I could come to Italy and hang out with you and you could help me learn Italian; you're a good teacher
Well, you made it to Italy. That'll have to do for now
Great job Kylie. I think you missed your calling as a teacher. I haven't made it to future tense yet, but it was easy to follow along with. Totally feel you about being a language and word nerd. Currently learning five languages at the same time (Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Italian). Be safe look forward to the next video.
Wonderful lesson Kylie! Perfect timing since I should have been living in Italy as of 3/18, but got stuck in LA due to the pandemic. Your lessons are my favorite way to learn, thank you so much.
I can't believe you're not Italian?? You speak it with a Perfect accent! 🇧🇬💕
Hi Kylie, we lived in Sicily for 3 years in my 50’s. My recall is terrible so I could only manage the most rudimentary of phrases.
Decided during Covid I would try to keep learning, at least to keep my brain agile (in my 60’s now), so I found myself smiling at your reference to your parents on this. I’m enjoying your videos and love your creativity.
Signed,
Someone who also went to bed with a dictionary on the nightstand!
Please do a million more videos like this. You are my favorite and I long to be fluent. I adore you! 😁😁😁
Salve Kylie. Mi chiamo Giorgio dal estero. Sydney Australia. Ho frequentato scuole italiane come casa d’Italia, Tafe etc ma adesso studio da solo a casa usando un applicazione che si chiame Ouino. Ho già guardato il suo video Become fluent in Italian and l’ho trovato molto interessante. Vorrei dire che lei è un insegnante molto brava. Congratulazioni. Comunque io continuerò a cercare gli suoi video e spero che il mio italiano migliorerà velocemente. Grazie mille per il suo aiuto. A dopo
I loved this! So clearly explained, thank you! Hope you do more Italian lessons 🌻
Grazie Kylie!! I took an Italian class when I studied in Rome at John Cabot University, and this is the perfect time to start practicing again... thank you for the inspiration :)
Shannon Stumbaugh wow congratulations Cabot university is a very expensive and wonderful university
I applied to study there in spring! Any insights?
Grazie Mille! Just this short piece was helpful.
Grazie, Kylie! I have my ‘Italian Grammar’ Book staring me in face, and you have inspired me to do my next lesson!
I just discovered your videos yesterday. Just wonderful, thank you! :)
I understand some words easily because I speak Spanish. Some words sound similar.
The romantic languages are just so beautiful. :) I'm saving to visit Italy... one day, I hope. After we get through this pandemic.
Sending prayers to Italy from California. xo
Buongiorno! Thank you again for providing wonderful content for us to enjoy and learn from! Grazie!
Elliet Maples Thank you Elliet!
Actually, your videos along with other practices, have helped to learn English. Thank you, Kylie! You have such a clear pronunciation and it's pleasing to listen to you.
Daniel Sckarin This is so great! Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful video! Just started learning and this was so helpful :)
Hi Kylie, my boyfriend just found your video and sent it to me. You’re amazing. Love your accent! I’ve lived in Italy ( Padua) since 2017, and my Italian is still not great, because I teach English and my main focus is studying it to teach. I really want to improve it. I’m a perfectionist and hate speaking incorrectly. Although, it doesn’t stop me for trying, which is a great thing. Thanks for the videos. I’ll continue to watch them. Mi è piaciuto tanto. Grazie, ciao, Grasiela
You give the most amazing attention to detail, though I've been learning Italian for quite a while I've never heard some of the tips you went over, so thankyou!
Theodora Price ♥️♥️♥️
Please make more videos like this! It's beautiful and sooo inspiring for learning the language. I want to learn more! Thank you Kylie
Very well explained. I was in Italy last year and learned a few terms and phrases to use. It was two months after going to Mexico and learning some Spanish. It's a lot of fun.
Kylie, I`ve been watching your videos for a long time, tahnk you for all of them! I am starting to learn Italian myself. I would like to ask you if you could share more tips about learning the language and maybe some sources you have found very helpful.
Mi è sempre piaciuta l’Italia così sto imparando da tre anni da sola. Grazie alla tua spiegazione.
I'm Italian and this took me a long time to get... Glad I wasn't the only one!
I was once in love with an Italian. Me a German woman, he from Lucca. I spoke Spanish with him in the beginning. Because he couldnt´t speak English. I know very well how it is to go around with a dictionary. But like you said, he would have never corrected me. When I had to say something fast; I took a Spanish word and made it sound Italian. I was so in love that I was not aware about it. It was not a good start to learn Italian. To mix Italian and Spanish made it worse. Because they are different languages even thou they have same roots and similar words. But also the mentality is different, I had learned Latin at school which helped me at least with the basics. After we broke up I took Italian lessons. Only then I understood our problems in conversations. Now after 15 yerars I find your sweet videos here. I can see the beauty of Tuscany live and atmosphere again. And I feel in your work that lightens of being., that had touched my soul..The joy in small things. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure and your heart.
Very well done Kylie, I want to learn Italian, Thank you!
Once again,
un piccolo regalo di Kylie per mantenerci sani di mente in questi tempi, I think that's right lol
Love your Voice even in english. Its remind me of the actress that plays the mom in “the parent trap” ❤

Che velocità ... sei bravissima a parlare italiano, Kylie ... complimenti !
Phil Di Paradiso Grazie Phil! 🙏
please continue with explaining the Italian language.
Kylie. I don not know if you consider yourself fluent in the Italian language, but I just can say that your accent sounds beautiful (and Italian) to my ears. Such a great accent. Wow!
I would love to hear how you speak some Spanish.just a little bit please. Ciao
Yes Kylie! I absolutely love you as a teacher of Italian
I also have been teaching myself italian! most of this i knew, but you’re clearly more advanced than I am which is cool bc I can learn from you :) the thing i really had no idea about was with “anch’io” i have noticed before when talking about also liking things my italian friends say will say “anche a me” now that you mentioned it but i also knew what “anche a me” meant but thought it just wasn’t used as frequently... of course everything has a rhyme or reason in italian! no one has ever corrected me i almost feel silly comunque just digging into to your stuff it’s really cool nd so aesthetically pleasing, u also seem so lovely ♡ you will probably find some more comments from me in the next days lol
you express yourself wonderfully
OMG Kylie thank you so much for that video, really I definitely need more videos like that to understand some structures of the Italian language. I am russian, have been studying and speaking English for many years. When I started to study Italian ( Spanish as well ) some structures were really hard for understanding. Because I could not transform it correctly in none of the languages I speak. And here you are explaining everything easy. A me piece il blog di Kylie.
Kylie is pleasing to me.
Ottima spiegazione! Complimenti!
Hiya, Kylie! Great video, as always! Part of the reason I discovered your channel is that, before Covid-19 put us all on "pause", I had planned to take my first trip to Italy in the fall and your videos made it seem so less frightening to travel alone. 😊 It's good to see now that I can also get some tips for the language as well (imparo l'italiano da due mesi) - please keep it up and thank you as always for sharing with us in your wonderfully sunny way! Buona serata! 😊😊
AHA! My Italian course on Busuu just started teaching me the verb, "piacere". Thanks to your video, I was much less confused! Looking forward to your next helpful hints! 😊
Thanks Kylie, I love the way you narrate the language learning❣️
A me piace il tuo modo di insegnare...
I see how you can pretty easily!
The more I read in the language...the easier it is becoming!
Definitely love these language lessons! Thank you!
thank you!!
Cara Kylie, tante auguri! Happy Birthday for tomorrow, wishing you to stay healthy, to have a lot of success and to be a very, very happy.
TANTI AUGURI !
I loved that intro, made me smile and laugh a lot
Thank you for this lesson Kylie! Have a wonderful day!
Sei Fortunato! Amo Tuscani, è bellissima 😭😭
Thanks Kylie - that was very helpful to me. I am one of those who would always say "anche io" and now I know better. We have been to Italy every year for about 13 years now (sadly missing this year), and my husband and I have a totally different approach to learning and speaking Italian. He is very dedicated and works on Italian every day, even if it is just reading - he knows a lot of the verb conjugations and correct grammar. On the other hand, the only time I practice is when I am there, but the funny thing is that when in Italy I am the outspoken one and he tends to shrink away from speaking. I think part of this is that I don't know better and am making tons of mistakes, where he is trying to formulate sentences before he speaks, which he can't do quickly enough. I am definitely not saying my way is better because I am pretty sure I speak Italian at about a 3-year-old level ;). but at least, for the most part, I can communicate in a basic way. If we ever moved there I would have to up my game though since I know that I can not express myself well enough to impart more complex ideas. I'm so impressed that you are self-taugh. Brava!
The intro was so silly! Priceless! :)
You are such an inspiring person! Thank you, it really makes me happy to watch your videos :)
Ciao Kylie, sicuramente usi il congiuntivo ed il condizionale meglio della maggioranza degli italiani della tua età! Sono impressionato da come tu abbia potuto imparare così bene la lingua da autodidatta. Greetings from Darwin, NT. 🇦🇺🇮🇹
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH
I speak Spanish, speak English ,studing French ,also have a🌍❤❤ passion for languages, noticed that by knowing Spanish i am able to understand a bit of other languages such as French, Italian, Philippines native language
la cura nell'osservanza delle regole della consecutio temporum, che hai dimostrato, è impressionante.......
In fact "piacere" comes from Latin "placere", same root of "please" and "pleasure" and "plaisir" in French of "placer" in Spanish.
In Italian the "L" had been replaced with "I". 🤷♂️ Also in italian dialects and that's even weirder.
Thank you so much for this. Please do more of these videos. If you could interweave words as we learn them. Thank you!
So excited to see your video in my home page! Love your content! x
Your clips are great... I often observed that good clips on TH-cam have 3% of dislikes but this one has only 1%. For some reason 2/3 of 😡 people like you which is quite an achievement 👍
Ciao mia cara amica. Piacere di conoscerti. Video fantastico, un grande abbraccio! Grazie
Sei fantastica quando parli in Italiano.
I really enjoyed this Kylie, was easy to follow. Thank you 😊
Italian seems to have many of the root words as Spanish. My Spanish isn’t that great but I do live in Southern California where Spanish is a common. Got job explaining Italian.
I want to learn Italian too
Sei brava! Hai imparato la lingua. Grazie per la lezione.
Your laugh is contiguous🤗.😊😊😊
Hi Kylie, I'm new to your channel, I like it very much, your videos are beautiful and your content is very fine and interesting. My first language is Spanish but I'm trying to learn Italian, it is challenging to learn Italian from an English speaking person, but it is also a lot of fun! I like your Italian lessons more than other lessons I've seen on TH-cam. I love the Tuscan region of Italy and anything tuscan. I also like to watch your recipes although I'm not cooking them, I am vegan, lol. I'm sure I will enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks! 🌹
Your videos bring dreaming back to my life. Such creativity
Amazing. Definitely it helps. Thank you! 😃
Thank you. Me piace multó.
Hola Kylie.. for Spanish speaking person ., Italian will be easier??? It’s so similar that I can understand quite well ..
Venecia B Sooooo much easier. I am sure you can easily understand ‘piacere’ when you know how to use ‘gustar’!
@@KylieFlavell It's not easy to learn Italian for a person who directly starts studying it. Having a knowledge in Spanish or other Latin languages certainly helps.
I adore languages I am usa first born and am bilingual (Spanish and English). A little Hindi and Turkish.
Best content ever!!! Please make more of this 🥰 I wish you were my Italian teacher. Please do these Italian immersion lessons in the countryside - I will definitely sign up 🤣
Well, in Italian "piacere" is used in the exact same way as "gustar" is used in Spanish. Nothing special or different there... I love your videos and that little interaction at the beginning of this one was adorable!
Your videos are so helpful but can you make the background where the words appear a darker color so that you can see the words easier?
complimenti per il tuo italiano!!!!!
This is a slap in the face,to anyone whom wants to learn Italian
I speak SWAHILI English and some Tribal dialects, i have been trying to learn Italian. Its fun. :)
Great!
My husband is Italian, I am learning Italian but just the basics
Love this Kylie!! 💕💕💕
This video was so helpful! I am guilty of saying "anch'io" for replying to things. Thank you, Kylie!
