Dictionary Book
I have a bought an Italian phrase book, dictionary, and grammar book. Is it a waste?
($27) As I bought them a girl asked me if I was going to Italy. I said I was just interested in learnign the language. She said if you ever go to Italy, Italian is not necessary to know because more than 90% of the population are fluent in English. This has got me thinking. If Italian is not even necessary to know in Italy, it must be a huge waste for me as an American.
Well, first of all the girl who told you that 90% of population in Italy speak English probably doesn’t speak English herself. In Italy, everyone speaks Italian period. Sure, the younger people know a bit of English but not enough to hold a conversation. Put it this way, if you go to Italy you either need to know enough to get by or have an Italian translation book with you. It also depends what part of Italy you go to. I know this because my parents are Italian (immigrated to Canada) and I’ve been to Italy 14 times since I was born and am fluent in Italian. The book you bought is useful but you do need to try and speak it as well. If you have any friends that are Italian, practice with them or go into a store that’s Italian owned and speak to them. Not sure how else to learn the language other then going to Italy for 4-5 months and just diving right in. I mean, if you’re in Italy you have no choice but to learn. And by the way, it’s not a difficult language to learn. I hope I was helpful and good luck to you. Here’s your first sentence to translate…. Vai in Italia…e’ un bellissimo paese.
