Benvenuti sul mio blog di italiano! - Welcome to my Italian blog!

Benvenuti a tutti!

Se hai appena iniziato a esplorare la lingua italiana o hai già mosso i primi passi, sei nel posto giusto. 

Forse ti stai chiedendo perché i contenuti del mio blog siano scritti in inglese, considerato che si tratta di un blog dedicato all’apprendimento dell’italiano. La risposta è semplice e nasce dall'esigenza di offrire un punto di partenza sicuro per chi è alle prime armi. Il pubblico a cui mi rivolgo è composto da principianti assoluti (A0) o da chi ha appena iniziato il proprio percorso nella lingua italiana (A1). 
L’idea è quella di offrire un supporto a chi desidera imparare l’italiano in autonomia, senza sentirsi sopraffatto dalle difficoltà linguistiche iniziali. Proponendo il blog in inglese, voglio rendere più accessibili concetti che potrebbero sembrare complessi a chi è ancora alle prese con i primi passi.

Se è decisamente vero che una lingua straniera si apprende meglio immergendosi nella lingua stessa, in questo blog ho scelto l’inglese per rendere i concetti più accessibili a chi si affaccia per la prima volta all'italiano. Così, chi vuole esplorare gradualmente la lingua e la cultura italiana può farlo senza fretta, con la possibilità di comprendere ogni passaggio.
L'uso dell'inglese qui aiuta chi non ha ancora familiarità con l'italiano a seguire facilmente i concetti e a sentirsi a proprio agio mentre esplora nuove nozioni. 

Ho creato questo blog per dare a tutti la possibilità di avvicinarsi all'italiano in modo graduale, mettendo a disposizione la mia esperienza e gli input ricevuti dagli studenti in questi ultimi anni.

Se però desiderate un'esperienza più diretta e coinvolgente, nelle mie lezioni online l’italiano è la lingua protagonista sin dall'inizio. 
I miei corsi online sono  un'opportunità perfetta per immergersi completamente nella lingua e nella cultura italiana. E se siete interessati a iniziare questo percorso con me, non esitate a contattarmi. Sarò felice di aiutarvi a intraprendere questo bellissimo viaggio nel mondo della lingua e della cultura italiana.

Welcome everyone!

If you are just starting to explore the Italian language or have already taken your first steps, you have come to the right place. You may be wondering why the content of my blog is written in English, given that this is a blog dedicated to learning Italian. The answer is simple and stems from the need to provide a safe starting point for those who are just starting out. My target audience are absolute beginners (A0) or those who have just started their journey in the Italian language (A1). The idea is to offer support to those who wish to learn Italian autonomously, without feeling overwhelmed by the initial linguistic difficulties, and by offering the blog in English, I want to make concepts that may seem complex more accessible to those who are still struggling with their first steps.

While it is true that the best way to learn a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it, I have chosen to write this blog in English in order to make the concepts more accessible to those who are learning Italian for the first time. In this way, those who wish to explore the Italian language and culture gradually can do so without rushing and with the possibility of understanding each passage.
The use of English here helps those who are not yet familiar with Italian to easily follow the concepts and feel comfortable while exploring new terms. 

I have created this blog to give everyone the opportunity to approach Italian in a gradual way, by sharing my experience and the input I have received from students over the years.

However, if you want a more direct and immersive experience, in my online lessons Italian is the protagonist language right from the start. 

My online courses are a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the Italian language and culture. And if you are interested in starting this journey with me, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you embark on this wonderful journey into the world of Italian language and culture.

We are going to explore together a very important element of the Italian language: the definite articles. These small but powerful words will help you add precision and definition to your sentences. But don't worry, using definite articles in Italian is easier than you might think! If you think of a sentence as a house, definite articles are the keys that allow you to open the right doors. Are you ready? Let's get started! What is a definite article? The definite articles are very similar to those found in other languages such as English (the), French (le, la, l', les), Spanish (el, la, los, las) or German (der, die, das).  In Italian, the definite article is used to indicate something specific that is already known to both the speaker and the listener. Here are some examples : Il gatto è sulla poltrona. (The cat is on the armchair) Here, the definite article indicates that we are talking about a specific cat that we both know. Apro la porta. (I am opening the door.) The ...
