What Is The Best Way To Learn Italian?
Italian Lessons Online provides readers with an in-depth guide that lists the best ways to learn Italian, such as finding out what your learning style is with a simple test, where to find the best language learning resources, and how Michele learned Italian as an adult using a variety of tried and tested techniques.
One of Michele’s recommended strategies is by creating what she calls a “memory hook” to remember essential phrases and vocabulary by following three simple steps. These are:
- Revise – Train your memory by looking at each new word and then repeating it out loud. If you continue to do this every day (adding a few new words each time), this repetition will help you remember the words faster and help bring these new phrases into your active Italian vocabulary.
- Remember – Once you’re familiar with these words and phrases, the next step is to create a “memory hook”, where you find a common link between the word or phrase you want to learn and something that you already know. For example: The Italian subject pronoun he is lui (pronounced loo-ee), and she is lei (pronounced lay), so your memory hook could be King Louis and Princess Leia. Using a link helps you recall the new learned term because your “memory hook” is connected to something you already know well.
- Writing – The last step is writing down these new words and phrases so that you reinforce what you’ve learned, therefore commiting it to your long-term memory.
Michele understands the investment that learning a language costs (both in terms of time and money) and has also included a helpful checklist for learners to compare different Italian courses online so that they can be sure they are reaping the benefits.
