Five Tips to Speak More Naturally in Italian

· algiegray's blog

Key takeaways:

  1. Replace "penso che" and "credo che" with "secondo me" and "per me" to sound more like a native speaker and avoid using the subjunctive mood.
  2. Use "troppo" instead of "molto" to express enthusiasm and sound more Italian.
  3. Use abbreviated forms of "questo", "questa", "questi", and "queste" (e.g., 'sto, 'sta, 'sti, 'ste) to convey excitement or annoyance.
  4. Replace common -mente adverbs with more natural alternatives to sound more like a native speaker.
  5. Use "mica" instead of "non" to give more emphasis to a negation.
