The Italian language, similar to other foreign languages one is estranged to can be learned. This isn't saying though that learning can be easy but it isn't difficult too. There are just some simple ways needed to get used to before a person can understand it and learn the language as if its water pouring down from a pitcher to the glass.
An English speaker can try learning one of the Romance languages without difficulty. What is needed is for the person to get used to the way he learns the information which is, in this case, in learning the Italian language. Opening to the fact that learning Italian isn't going to be a quick endeavor also helps. This idea conditions the learner to a long road of learning ahead.
Learning basic Italian phrases initiate everything that is needed to be learned by a person. It is extremely important to enrich a person's vocabulary of a language first. As you learn, the basic phrases and sentences come in easy next. In learning the Italian vocabulary, it is important to review it by using it once in a day to make sure that one has completely understood its definition and uses. Also, reviewing an entire vocabulary lessons for couple of weeks or more help the person retain the information he has learned from the very beginning. This is a sure way of acquiring a second language, bit by bit.
As for individuals who are more concerned of constructing a good Italian grammar, the fact is that, one can do well without having learned all the intricacies of a the Italian language (which is the same with other foreign languages). Though it isnt much the same compared to learning grammar lessons carefully, but as a beginner in learning how to speak Italian, it matters more to master the basic functions of the language than to devote an entire time to grammar alone. You will be forgiven for making a mistake or two when you start speaking Italian but it is natural, you will make mistakes while learning. Dont think that nobody hasn't done so.
And so, continue to read vocabulary and how you can apply it verbally. Don;t give up on minor details because you have the rest of the world to back you up when you're in doubt of using an Italian word in a sentence.
The Italian language has developed from its ancestor, Latin, during the 13th and 14th century. Though Italian shares about 85% of similarities to the Spanish and French languages, it is still easier to pronounce. Each word is pronounced exactly as how it is spelled.
However, the Italian language has many sub categories and these are called the Italian dialects. Each town in Italy has different Italian language but the good thing about it is that the Modern Italian language has spread to countries like Somalia. A misunderstanding often happens between an Italian speaking person (not a pure Italian) and an Italian native. This is because the Italian native may have been born in a different district in Italy and the language he could be using is not the standard Italian language but one of the Italian dialects from towns that lie on the outskirt of Italy.
There is still a chance to learn the standard Italian language easy and fast. By using very simple memorization technique, a person can master Italian words even if it just takes a 10 to 15 minute session each day. Below is an example.
The pink ballerina elephant leads the dance and closes the show and receives a whale of applause from the elephant audience.
This method is called Link-Word. This is a memorization technique use to enhance a persons memory. The idea is to link all the Italian word and its English meaning in one absurd story. Only that the Italian word is replaced by another English word that sounds much like the Italian term.
Italian = Balena
English word used = ballerina
English translation = whale
Whats good about this technique is that it can be used by anyone, of any age. It is a brain exercise which is safe for anybody to try. And its all natural too.
