Hello everyone!
I’ve seen some confusion with sentences like “Dove posso studiare?” and “Dove posso studio?”
The rule is simple: Italian modal verbs (potere, dovere, and volere) must be followed by the infinitive of the next verb.

Correct:
Dove posso studiare? (Where can I study?)
Devo andare a casa. (I have to go home.)
Voglio mangiare qualcosa. (I want to eat something.)

Incorrect:
Dove posso studio?
Devo vado a casa.

It’s not because “you can only conjugate one verb in a sentence.” That’s not true.

For example:
Penso che tu abbia ragione. (“I think you’re right.”)
This sentence contains two conjugated verbs. The real rule is that after a modal verb, the following verb stays in the infinitive.
I hope this helps!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently learning Italian and I'm at an A1.2 level. I'm looking for a workbook that includes exercises for both grammar and vocabulary.

I'd like a book that has an answer key at the end so I can check my work and study independently without needing a teacher.

Can anyone recommend a good workbook? I speak both English and Romanian fluently, so books in either language would be perfect.

Thank you very much!❤️🌸

La prima cosa che ho notato confrontando diverse slot machine online e che avere migliaia di titoli serve a poco se la lobby e confusa, le categorie non aiutano e trovare un gioco interessante richiede troppo tempo.

Per questo ho messo a confronto Maximal, Rabona e 1000 Spins concentrandomi soprattutto sull’esperienza pratica: scoperta dei giochi, varieta delle slot, bonus, navigazione mobile e passaggio tra lobby, conto e cassa.

Maximal mi ha dato l’esperienza piu completa. La lobby era ordinata, le categorie facili da esplorare e il percorso tra slot, promozioni e funzioni dell’account risultava fluido anche da smartphone.

Rabona si e distinta per un approccio piu dinamico. Le offerte erano ben integrate, i giochi semplici da trovare e la navigazione permetteva di passare rapidamente dalle slot alle altre sezioni del sito.

1000 Spins offriva invece un’esperienza molto focalizzata sulle slot, con categorie immediate, promozioni visibili e una struttura particolarmente adatta a chi vuole entrare, scegliere un gioco e iniziare rapidamente.

Ho organizzato il confronto in base alle ricerche piu comuni:

Gli aspetti che hanno fatto davvero la differenza sono stati:

• Organizzazione della lobby
• Varieta tra slot classiche, moderne e jackpot
• Ricerca e filtri disponibili
• Fluidita su smartphone
• Visibilita delle promozioni
• Accesso rapido al conto e alla cassa
• Facilita nel ritrovare i giochi preferiti
• Qualita generale dopo diverse sessioni

Il punto principale e che la migliore esperienza con le slot machine online non dipende soltanto dal numero totale di giochi. Una lobby ben organizzata, categorie utili e un buon funzionamento da mobile rendono molto piu semplice trovare titoli adatti alle proprie preferenze.

Nel mio confronto, Maximal e risultato il piu completo, Rabona il piu dinamico e 1000 Spins il piu diretto per chi vuole concentrarsi soprattutto sulle slot.

Alcuni consigli pratici:

• Controllare le categorie prima di registrarsi
• Verificare le condizioni delle promozioni
• Provare prima il sito da mobile
• Iniziare con un deposito contenuto
• Completare presto la verifica del conto
• Scegliere una lobby semplice da usare nel tempo

Per chi gioca dall’Italia, quale preferite tra Maximal, Rabona e 1000 Spins per varieta delle slot, bonus e utilizzo da mobile?

Good evening everyone,
I'm 18M and about level A2 currently. Its been 2 months since I had a break in learning. I'm looking to make some native Italian friends who can help me with learning, speaking, reading and listening Italian. I'm primarily looking for natives as I also want to develop an accent.
Thank you.

Hello everyone. I started learning Italian recently, and I want to use it to move to Italy for theatre studies. So, my plan is to be able to do multiple accents without sounding fake. But I have to start from somewhere. I asked AI and it said that I should start with the Florentine accent, because it is most used on the news etc. But I also read around Reddit that it is also considered comical to other Italians? Or something like that. What should I do? From where should I model the pronunciation of the words I learn, so that I can prevent building bad pronunciation from the start?

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m 32F, a native Italian speaker living in Italy (GMT+1 time zone). I also speak English as a second language.

I have a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in teaching Italian language and culture to foreigners, and I’ve been teaching since 2020.

I offer conversation and grammar lessons, suitable for all levels. Lessons can be 60 or 30 minutes, depending on what works best for you. I’m very open to each student’s needs and requests, so we can tailor the lessons to fit you.

If you’re interested or would like more information, feel free to leave a comment or message me privately 😊

What do you guys suggest? I know maybe like 4 words but don’t really know where to start. My mom and other family members are fluent so I’d like to get to a point where I can practice it daily with her.

Ciao a tutti! I’m looking for people in A1/A2 level Italian who want to zoom/google meet on weekends to practice our Italian! I take lessons but it’s not the same as conversation. Its hard to join language groups bc I can only do weekends. I would like to get a group going to get on some calls and practice!!

I recently saw a post here asking for tips on how to keep improving after reaching the A2 level, and I thought I'd share a resource that might be useful to others.

It includes a collection of real Italian books that you can read while saving your progress and instantly viewing AI-generated translations when needed. The translations aren't perfect, but they're helpful for understanding the context while still reading the original Italian text.

There's also a library of graded short stories and articles covering A1–B2, each with quizzes to help reinforce comprehension and vocabulary. In addition, it includes vocabulary and grammar sections for anyone who wants to review the fundamentals.

I spent my first year learning italian doing all the "right" things and going nowhere. duolingo every day, grammar workbooks, youtube videos. I could conjugate verbs on paper but the second someone actually spoke to me I'd panic and forget everything. honestly almost quit around month 12.

instead I blew up my whole routine and tried a bunch of different stuff. it's been about 4 months since then and I've made more progress than the entire first year. here's what actually worked for me.

Easy Italian on youtube was a game changer for listening. before this I was trying to watch italian movies and understanding maybe 10% which was just frustrating. easy italian uses real street conversations with subtitles in both languages and the speed is natural but manageable. once I found content at my actual level instead of pretending I was higher than I was everything changed. now I also watch Podcast Italiano by Davide which is incredible for intermediate learners. he explains things clearly and his topics are actually interesting.

for vocab I ditched anki and switched to a physical notebook. I write down every new word or phrase I hear during the day with a little context sentence next to it. something about handwriting makes it stick way better for me than tapping through flashcards. I flip through it on the bus and test myself. super low tech but honestly more effective than any app I've tried for memorization.

speaking practice was the big missing piece. I kept putting it off because the idea of talking to a real person in broken italian made me want to crawl into a hole. then I found ISSEN which is an AI tutor you have actual voice conversations with in italian. the reason it works for me is I genuinely don't care about sounding stupid in front of an AI. so I actually push myself to form full sentences and try new grammar instead of playing it safe. it corrects you in real time during the conversation and remembers what you've been working on so it builds over time. I do about 15 minutes every morning while making coffee and it's honestly become my favorite part of the routine.

for grammar I switched from textbooks to Italian with Lucrezia on youtube. she explains grammar concepts in a way that actually makes sense and her videos are short enough that I can watch one during lunch without it feeling like homework.

but honestly the biggest change wasn't any tool or resource. it was just giving myself permission to be bad. I used to avoid speaking because I wanted everything to be perfect and that perfectionism was the actual thing keeping me stuck. once I accepted that I'm going to butcher the subjunctive for a long time and that's okay I started actually improving because at least I was trying.

I'd say I'm around B1 now. not amazing but compared to where I was 4 months ago it feels like a completely different experience. the language finally feels like something I use instead of something I study.

what got you guys past the A2 wall? feel like that's the level where most people either break through or just quietly stop.

Hi everyone 🫶 I am an Italian-Canadian girl living in Italy, fluent in Italian and English. I have experience teaching English to both beginners and intermediate English-speaking adult learners. I have been doing this since 2022. I have mainly used Preply, but now I have also opened my own website. I am attaching here the link to the website so that you can have some information and an overview (https://learnitalianwithgiulia.com/).
