Introduction
Just like any other goal you set for yourself in life, learning a new language can be intimidating at first and may seem like a mountain to climb. You’ll spend a lot of time talking or thinking about it, but actually doing something about it? Easier said than done. Learning a language is just like dieting, really: it’s easy to postpone and it takes a lot of motivation to get started, but when you finally get into it and start to see results as you go along, you’ll find that it is extremely rewarding, in so many ways.
Indeed, knowing more than one language isn’t just something to brag about. It’s a valuable asset to your overall knowledge, and it gives you an in-depth and personal access to a whole new culture: music, literature, history, science, sociology, gastronomy… and most importantly, you will get the unique chance to discuss, share and learn with remarkable people you would otherwise never have met.
When you face yourself in the mirror and finally decide to go on a diet, it’s because you have an objective in mind – a final goal – which will take time to achieve. The same goes with learning a new language: your objective, reason or purpose will help you stay focused and motivated along the way, no matter how long it takes. It’s true: every learner is different, has his or her own ways and progresses at his or her own pace. Setting unreasonable goals for yourself or trying to rush into things will definitely affect your level of interest, which is why you need to constantly remind yourself of your objectives, keep track of your progress and make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. In the end, learning a new language will help you learn more about yourself.
If you picked up this book, the hardest part – actually doing something about it – is already behind you and you’re on your way to become an Italian speaker yourself. This book can give you a very useful tool in learning the Italian language. Now all that’s left to learn is how to use it.
What this book is about and how to use it:
Being an Italian teacher, I am very well aware that learning the language can rapidly become overwhelming when you think of the numerous aspects of grammar, punctuation rules, syntax and coherence, and I won’t even get started on all the exceptions inherent to the Italian language… but don’t be alarmed: even my native Italian students have a hard time getting to learn all the aspects of their mother tongue. That said, what’s the best way to get started? What does every new learner really want when tackling a new language, officially or unofficially? The answer is simple:
They want to expand their vocabulary.
And that’s exactly where you’ll want to start. Indeed, when learning a new tongue, becoming familiar with the vocabulary is the most effective way to speed up the process. Just look at these three impressive statistics found in a study done in 1964:
Learning the first thousand (1000) most frequently used words of a language will allow you to understand 76.0% of all non-fiction writing, 79.6% of all fiction writing and an astounding 87.8% of all oral speech.
Learning the top two thousand (2000) most frequently used words will get you to 84% for non-fiction, 86.1% for fiction, and 92.7% for oral speech.
Learning the top three thousand (3000) most frequently used words will get you to 88.2% for non-fiction, 89.6% for fiction, and 94.0% for oral speech.
This book will provide you with the top two thousand most frequently used words in the Italian language, equivalent to an understanding of 92.7% of oral speech according to these statistics. Just think of all the things you’ll be able to achieve thanks to this book and a little practice!
But to get to this point, an ordinary list of 2000 terms won’t be of much help. This is why we provide you with words that are in context, carefully placed in a sentence where they can express their true meaning. Each term will be listed alongside its translation (or translations, when applicable) in English, along with two example sentences (one in each language), for a deeper understanding of the term. This method will make the vocabulary more accessible to you, since you can compare it to English words that are also in context for reference. The terms have been selected according to their occurrences in a corpus of various media containing more than 20 million words of text and speech. To make this vocabulary lesson more significant to you, we have ordered all 2000 terms of this book according to their frequency of use in said media.
After reading this book, you might be tempted to ask: Is that it?
Well of course, there’s always something more to learn. As you know, there are thousands and thousands of words in the Italian language, but the 2000 we provide you with will certainly give you a head-start on learning the language and help you in getting closer to mastering it.
Recommendations for readers of 2000 Most Common Italian Words In Context:
Although we’d love to begin right away with helping you learn the vocabulary we’ve provided in this book, we’ve got a few tips and recommendations for getting the most out of your lesson:
An important note before you start:
A little bit of grammar is needed at this point. Please remember that:
