2. Discover Italian grammar: Italian classes at home: 3 tricks to progress quickly
For all those who want to dedicate themselves to art, gastronomy or fashion (Milan is a must!), Learning Italian is “a necessità”!
The grammar of the Italian language is close to the Spanish and French grammar, because all three are Latin languages. As Wikipedia explains,
“We can group the words into nine categories: on the one hand the variables: article, nouns, adjectives, pronouns and verbs; on the other, the invariables: adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections”.
How to learn Italian?
Once you have a base in Italian, then you can start with phonetics, in other words, listening, if possible from a native or from a private Italian teacher, the Italian words and grammar. It’s like learning the music of the language.
Ask your Italian teacher, which you may have chosen in Superprof, we hope, so that you get used to the language and develop your oral comprehension. It will help you to identify the phonetic specificities of the Italian language.
3. Make Italian classes cards
Learn to gesture like the Italians.
Taking Italian classes at home is fine. But being able to memorize the Italian grammar learned with your teacher and get the most out of your Italian classes at home or via webcam is even better.
To learn Italian quickly , also think about making index cards of your classes.
The Italian class sheets will help you memorize the notions of class:
Italian vocabulary,
Italian grammar rules,
Phonetics.
Even better if you have a photographic memory! In addition, researchers have shown that re-reading the Italian class sheets or summaries before going to sleep optimizes memorization. Once asleep, our brain will record all the new data in the appropriate compartments more easily.
