Learning Italian if you already speak Spanish
What are some techniques to learn Italian if you already speak Spanish?
|
I don't know any 'techniques', but if you level of Spanish is good or very good, learning Italian is a piece of cake...
I.e., I never studied Italian in a formal manner, yet I understand it rather well, and can speak it... |
No estoy muy seguro de lo que estoy hablando porque no tengo mucha experiencia con italiano, pero si las dos lenguas son parecidas entonces ustedes ya sabe gran cosa del vocabulario y de la gramática. Creo que usted puedes evitar las clases básicas e ir directamente para la conversación, ver películas y otras actividades menos aburridas. Nuevas palabras y fluencia van entrar en su cabeza naturalmente.
Ah. Creo que también será útil comprar un libro de falsos amigos (italiano x español). |
Recently, I tried to watch tv show in Italian and I should admit that I could understand half of it. Even I've never studied Italian.

Certainly!
Burro = butter (Italian) Burro = donkey (Spanish) |
Las 'dobles consonantes' saber pronunciar exactamente, si no:
casa = house cassa = box :thinking: |
Quote:
Ti amo=Te amo. So when it's te in Spanish it is ti in Italian. When it is me in Spanish it is mi in Italian. Me gusta= Mi piace. otro=altro 70+% of Spanish is the same as Italian. You only have to learn the words that are different which are much fewer than going from English to Italian. In many cases the Italian and Spanish words for something are very similar. In fact there are some simple rules for converting one to the other which work in many cases:
And these ones, which involve the 'e' to 'ie' rule: il cervo/el ciervo, il concerto/el concierto, il dente/el diente, la febbre/la fiebre, la festa/la fiesta, il governo/el gobierno, l'inverno/el invierno, la nebbia/la niebla, la pelle/la piel, il tempo/el tiempo, il vento/el viento, mentre/mientras, bene/bien, aperto/abierto, sempre/siempre, vecchio/viejo. And these ones, which involve the initial 'f' rule: la farina/la harina, la fata/el hada, il fegato/el hígado, il ferro/el hierro, il fico/el higo, il figlio/el hijo, il filo/el hilo, la foglia/la hoja, il fondo/el hondo, la formica/la hormiga, il forno/el horno, il fumo/el humo, fare/hacer, ferire/herir. This is something I wrote a few years ago: |
Wow, you said it.
Just one thing/correction, on this example, La mia casa è grande. La mia casa es grande. In Spanish it would be "Mi casa es grande"... ¿Qué casa es grande? -La mía. |
Villa.... Your post is golden. Thanks for the in-depth analysis.
