    I am learning Italian by playing video games and there are 3 games I recommend for anyone with a PC and a Steam account. -Influent: a game where you walk around your room and every object has reading, listening and speaking practice through quizzes. -Noun Town: A cute game were you bring color back to different locations in the world by practicing reading and speaking in your target language. -Newcomer: An RPG where talking with characters and dialogue options are all in your target language and all battles are word recognition quizzes.

    Hi, I’ve been learning Italian for over a year now too. I like the video idea but for me it absolutely didn’t work the way you recommended here. Duolingo or Babbel ( I used them in the beginning too) are the worst way to learn a language (at least in my opinion) because who talks about the size of an elephant on a daily basis. I recommend HelloTalk. Get yourself a partner who you can speak and text to every week, because speaking is most important to actually learn the language. On the way you should learn the grammar and vocab little by little (10 vocabs per day are enough). It is important to not learn words like oven or mirror in the beginning but words you actually use on a daily basis like „nevertheless “ or „because“. Keep in mind this is just my approach but I wanted to share it hoping it might help someone :)

    Attento con Google Translate perché alcune traduzioni letterali non funzionano. Per esempio a 2:00 relaxing stretch = tratto rilassante non ha senso. In realtà in italiano si usa la parola inglese "stretching", quindi stretching rilassante. Tratto vuol dire distance/length, a stretch of road: un tratto di strada. Spero che tu abbia capito e in bocca al lupo con l'italiano 😉

    When searching for music, it helps to know the genre that appeals to you. For example, in Latin music, we have salsa, tango, reggaeton, vallenato, and my two favorite styles, bolero and ranchera. So all you do is go into Spotify or KZread and search for playlists in that genre. You'll find more than enough to keep you busy!

    Great video! I've literally learned 99% of my English this way: through video games. At first, I would watch my sister play games in English and have her translate words or sentences that made me curious as a child. Then I jumped into "visual novel" type of games, like Hakuouki or Danganronpa. By the end of Hakuouki, I was 50% through achieving the level I currently have. Another very interesting thing I noticed by following this method is that despite being able to read scientific articles at the end of my journey, I was struggling to even write simple sentences. Had to patch that up by chatting online on forums for a month daily.
