✨ Before you start learning Italian or any language, here are some tips:

- Find a reason to start.

- Listen to the language first so you can get used to it.

- Start with the basics and build small sentences.

- Speak as early as you can and don't wait to be ready.

- The most important thing is to be consistent, every 1% matters.

And last but not least, enjoy it!

Almost every Italian word ends with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). That’s why Italian sounds so smooth and musical.

It is called the language of music.

⚠️ I hope you all write down the reason why you want to learn Italian as a first step before getting into it.

When you learn a new language try to memorize as many words as possible. This way when you reach grammar you will have enough vocabulary to build small sentences.

The more words you know, the easier it becomes to understand and use grammar later

L'alfabeto italiano: 🆎️

- It has 21 letters.

- There are 5 foreign letters (J, K, W, X, Y) used only in foreign or borrowed words.

- Almost every Italian word ends with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).

- The letter H is almost silent, except when it appears with C or G, where it changes the sound and we will know about it kater.

Most letters can appear doubled (like ss, ll, rr), but Q never doubles except in one rare word: soqquadro.

- And the best thing words are pronounced just as they’re written.


Listen to the sound and don't get confused with English letter sounds
