Dedication
This book is dedicated to all of you whose dream to speak Italian is only a few pages away. Life passes by so quickly. Enjoy every moment. Dont worry if you cant get it all done perfectly. Do the best you can in the time youve got. And keep smiling.

Tanti baci . A special grazie to the Italian American Foundation of Ulster County (UCIAF). Love you guys. Of course, to my beautiful child: Sabine, you make the world a better and brighter place. Ti amo!

Introduction
Learning Italian is no more difficult than rolling out your own pasta dough and making handmade tortellini. After you know how to do it, its easy and a lot of fun.

You likely learned how to speak English long before you were taught how to identify parts of speech. If you allow the intuitive process to guide you, youll be speaking Italian in no time. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your study:

  • Download an ItalianEnglish dictionary to your phone or computer. Youll find many versions out there.
  • Invest in a good bilingual dictionary ( dizionario) , preferably one that offers the Italian pronunciation. These will likely be printed by English publishers.

    Foreign dictionaries, such as the Garzanti or Zanichelli ItalianEnglish dictionaries, along with Langenscheidt, are also excellent products.

  • Call your local university ( universit ) and discover whether it has an Italian department. Find out if it has a mailing list for events and make a point of meeting other Italo-philes.
  • Join an Italian-speaking language or cultural group. If you cant find one, why not create it?
  • Rent an Italian movie every week. Listen to the actors and read the subtitles while you try to decipher the Italian words within each sentence.

    Isolate words that are repeated. There are many selections now available on YouTube, Amazon Prime, HBO, Netflix, and free from Kanopy (through your local library). Visit Kanopy.com to find out more.

  • Pick up a box of Italian language flash cards at any bookstore or make your own using that unused box of business cards from your old job.
  • Listen to the Italian news station RAI while you clean your house. If you spend a lot of time in the car, invest in language apps, mp3s, or CDs.

    Check out the Slow Italian podcasts: everything new about Italy but slowed down. Visit www.newsinslowitalian.com.

  • Why not change your social media sites over to Italian? Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and LinkedIn are among many that offer their services in many languages.

Pronunciation Guide
This chapter is all about Italian pronunciationfrom accents and the alphabet to cognates and grammar. Trying to learn a new language takes courage. Dont be afraid to make mistakes.

Italians are incredibly accommodating and will appreciate your efforts to communicate any way you can.

A Note on Dialects
What you read in this book might vary considerably from what you might hear on the streets, especially once youre outside the main cities. Dialects are to the Italian language what spices are to Italian food: They add variety and depth. Some of the dialects include Apulian, Calabrese, Catalan, Friulian, Ligurian, Roman, Neapolitan, Sardinian, Sicilian, and Venetian. In fact, Sicilian and Sardinian are considered their own languages. The diversity and richness of Italian culture are exemplified through this smorgasbord of linguistic delicacies.

When family and friends are bantering and teasing one another, no doubt its probably in some form of dialect. If youre an Italian American studying the language of your ancestors, youll often find the official Italian language to be quite different from what youre used to hearing. While most locals will appreciate your attempts to speak Italian, avoid speaking in dialect. They might interpret this as making fun of Italian.

Pronunciation and Enunciation
Italian sounds so beautiful because the words connect to each other like in an opera. Per fortuna, Italian is super easy to pronounce and read.

Pretty much what you see is what you say: Its all about the vowels ( vocali ; like vocals). The letters a , e , i , o , and u are all vowels. If you can say them correctly, you can fake your way to fluency in no time. Because Latin is the mother tongue for Italian and one of the two root systems (German being the other) used predominantly in English, youll see how many cousins the two languages share. For example, in Italian, the word cinema is written exactly the same as in English; however, in Italian, its pronounced CHEE-neh-mah . The same ci sound is used in the popular greeting ciao .

Conversely, ch in Italian is pronounced as a k , as in the popular wine Chianti. Throughout this book, stressed syllables will appear in all caps. In words of two syllables, youll find most are equally stressed. The fun part is rolling your Rs. If you see one r , like with the city Roma, gently tickle the back of your upper front teeth with your tongue.

Getting the Accent
Italian uses two accents to indicate words where the stress falls on the final syllable and theyre always used over a vowel:
  • The grave accent (), pronounced grav
    caff
    kah-FAY
    coffee
    citt
    chee-TAH
    city
  • The acute accent (), pronounced acuto , used especially in older text and phrasebooks
    bench
    ben-KAY
    although
