Need more time to repeat the phrases before the next phrase. Also, would like a slower pronunciation of the phrase. Thanks you , it is good practice of the vowels.

I speak French, American English and some Costa Rican Spanish: Italian tough is as different as any of these languages, words wise, but more so, because of its it is a musical tones which is a big enough challenge as well as so many idioms to learn in Italian itself: this course is fabulous because Italian pronounciation is THE key to attain, one day, a mesmerizing level of that language! Grazie Mille Giulia, tradotto in italiano per rispetto : Ti ho salutato un bel po' di tempo fa, se ti ricordi. Anch'io, come te, ho vissuto negli Stati Uniti. Nel mio caso nel 1988-1996 e nel 2003-2008. Adoro l'America e alcune delle sue grandi specialità, dalle tavole calde ai canali PBS, passando per Sesame Street a La piccola casa nella prateria per positivizzarsi, le battute sui supereroi dei film, ecc. Essendo nata in Francia, parlo francese, poi inglese americano e persino un po' di spagnolo costaricano che ho imparato nel sud-ovest degli Stati Uniti. (Ho anche vissuto 25 anni nel Regno Unito, dato che mia moglie e le mie figlie sono inglesi). Ora mi sto impegnando nell'apprendimento dell'italiano perché adoro i suoi suoni melodici. Così come la storia italiana, l'arte, il design, il cibo e la letteratura interessante come quella di Dante e altro ancora! Apprezzo parlare l'inglese americano o britannico, dato che sono stata in due paesi che lo usano come lingua principale, ma a causa di molti duri trumpisti e a volte del troppo capitalismo americano, così come della Brexit per il Regno Unito, l'inglese ora sembra essere usato meno ma meglio, dal 2022, dato che la gente vuole usarlo solo per merito ora e non come riflesso del passato degli anni '80. Inoltre, la lingua inglese può essere molto limitata nell'esprimere le proprie emozioni e sentimenti e non è sempre ottima per discutere. Comunque, anche essendo francese, l'italiano è molto impegnativo per i suoi toni, la sua grammatica e i tanti modi di dire e frasi colloquiali (si dice che l'italiano ne abbia il maggior numero, in termini di lingue). La tua voce è semplicemente ipnotica e affascinante nei toni! Pascal

I was able to follow along. I have been using Duolingo and some of this I was familiar with. That said I got this course because Duolingo isn’t enough.
