Looking for reading material in italian?

italian for beginners
Ces asked:


Hi! I’m studying italian, and could do with some advice and help to find material suitable for reading for someone who can understand about 60%. I’m just starting to study but, for some reason, I can understand most of what I read (i’ve even tried newspapers and Wikipedia). That’s, perhaps, because spanish is my first language, or because I spent many evenings during my teen age listening to a “think italian, speak italian” course on tape… can’t really tell. Anyway, now I would like to find over the Internet, or to have suggestions of books, texts, anything I could find in Italian that is suitable for beginners. Any suggestions?
The thing is I know the easiest is to look for children’s stories, (I did a huge improvement in english reading that sort of material, so I know that approach works), but I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for and where to find it…

bringbackwoodstock asked:


I am a Canadian citizen but I live in Italy and I go to an international school. I’m a freshman in high school now.
If I take the IB, does that get me into uni in Canada? Or can I just take the SAT’s?

Oh, and for the IB, there’s that first language thing that you do, what if you don’t have a best language??? Like I can only speak English. I’m learning French, Latin, and next year I’m switching schools and taking Italian beginners.

Any ideas on what I could do my Italian presentation on for my beginners Italian class?

stephy200820032003 asked:


I am suppose to present something about Italy, the culture, or the language. In other words the presentation has to deal with an aspect of Italy. It needs to be five minutes long and needs to be presented in Italian. This is for my beginners Italian class, it is a college class. I am pretty sure that Italian Cuisine is already taken as well as Italian cars. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do my presentation on let me know.

Recbec asked:


Prefer to get it at Barnes & Noble. I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on RosettaStone. Beginner to intermediate. Most important to me to be able to speak and understand right now. Anyone used or have expierence with learning language products i would like to hear your opinions!

Kseniya asked:


Hi Everyone! I m searching info about scholarship to study italian in Italy. Unfortunately i cant apply for sholarships that i already found, because whether my country (Russia) is not in the available list, whether smth else..like my study should be related to italian studies (but i majored in Korean Studies), or i already should be able to speak italian at least somehow. But if THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO OBTAIN - to speak italian, what should i do then? :( I am trying to study by books. If anyone knows any information about grants for study italian (beginners)..i would appreciate if u write me..

Ideal gift for Italian tutor? Any ideas please?

Ok quick background: I took Italian beginners in first semester at uni, and seeing as I'll probably never see her again (my tutor I mean), I'd like to give a gift of some kind. At first I thought I could make these chocolates in a gift box, but then I thought what if she's allergic to certain foods? She's been such a great motivator basically throughout semester, and I really want to give something back for her efforts. She's in her 30s (a guess) and she has a young daughter so I'd like to give something that will suit someone of her background..

Are there maybe traditional Italian customs for gift giving? (she's Italian) It'd be great if I can get some ideas. Thanks!
ps I'm NOT in the States, so stores like Hallmark are out of the question!
I don't know her on a personal level to know what restaurant she likes/dislikes, hence me asking here…
I won't get the chance to "have a chat" due to busy schedule in the coming semester unfortunately, only time for quick visit.

In a roundabout way, have a conversation about chocolates and you'll find out if she's allergic to anything.
You could get her a nice bottle of Italian wine or liqueur (in a gift basket with chocolates and Italians cookies)…or you can make a basket of coffee items with biscotti, chocolates, etc).

Sometimes some a pretty gift basket of soaps, lotions, and things like these (pampering/spa) makes a great gift. Italians like these things too.

But most of all, just give from your heart. She would appreciate anything if given genuinely.
