First Week Listening-Reading

EasyItalian has simple content (they get a bit boring after some time, but hey). Continue with them as long as you enjoy it. Here are four examples, watch and rewatch, as discussed 🙂

Listening-Reading Channels

You can find many more videos like the ones above on EasyItalian. Those have double subtitles.

With the Google Chrome extension “LanguageReactor” installed you can create your own YouTube videos with two subtitles. And they pause playing and translate words when you hover your mouse over them.

Here are two channels made for learners:

A lady doing travel vlogs in various Italian places – Italian with Lucrezia
An Alberto from Brescia who shows some of his life – Italiano Automatico

Then there are channels made for native speakers, once you feel ready for it:

Vogue Fashion has a getting ready with short profiles in Italian. Their channel has more content in Italian.
Il Signor Franz, who review tech, travels and random stuff in Italian.
And the news being summarized in 20m Italian videos in Breaking Italy.

That should be already enough material here to keep you busy for 12 weeks.

Grammar Content

Here’s a good summary for the grammar by a Duolingo fansite: https://duome.eu/tips/en/it It’s a great read for the beginning.

Further Grammar lessons (20+) in Italian can be found here on Lucrezia’s channel, they are anecdotal about a part of the language.
