<h1>Italian Language Studies for Evangelism</h1>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">by Doug</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Not all of us are called to evangelize to a group of people who speak or read Italian. But if you feel so called, then this is the page for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">I will show you the steps to learning Italian. And pertinent vocabulary for evangelism.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: large;">Study Aids</span></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://translate.google.com/#en/it/your%20bread" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em;">Google Translate</a><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"> - set to English to Italian. The link begins with the search on the phrase "your bread" and you will see Google's translation as "il pane." I start there so you would know google translate is not perfect. "Your bread" is "suo pane" not "il pane," which only means "the bread." So be-aware. Otherwise, Google translate is a great tool to learn any language. You can use it on a Tablet / Ipad to speak the words, which are then transcribed and translated. Download the app. On a PC you can do the same, although it is not as obvious or easy to do, given you have to have a microphone already connected.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Google Translate as Instant Webpage Translator - if you post pages to the internet, you can make them appear by a link in a foreign language by instant translation -- retaining all formatting. Here is <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=en&amp;tl=it&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jesuswordsonly.com%2Fbooks%2Fjesuswordsonly%2F100-chapter-two-jwo-english.html">an example</a> of what I did for chapter 2 of JWO into Italian. I recollect you go to advanced features, put in the website page, get an output, and then that output is a linkable page.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">IM Text-to-Speech - </span><a href="http://imtranslator.net/translate-and-speak/speak/italian/" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.3em;">Italian</a><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"> - Instantly converts Italian text in well-pronounced fluid Italian .. so you can hear any text you find, how it should sound.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/">From Text to Speech</a> - select Italian - website that converts text to MP3 file for continued learning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php">ATT Research</a> - can insert Italian in limited text and output to Wave.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">[It costs <a href="https://wizzardsoftware.com/shopcart/shopcartgroup.php?Group=V55&amp;qstrID=">$295 to buy package from ATT's</a> partner if you try to make commercial use of the output files.]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="http://www.bing.com/translator/">Bing Translate </a>- it will auto detect Italian, and if you select Italian as target, and hit Audio, it will speak fairly accurately but somewhat scratchy voice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">N<a href="http://www.naturalreaders.com/">atural Readers</a> - as of April 2013, for $99 plus $50 for 2 Italian voices, you can make automatic training lessons from text files into MP3 files where the Italian is pronounced for you.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Grammar</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">"<a href="http://www.italianlanguageguide.com/italian/grammar/">Italian Grammar</a>" Italian Language Studies -- a great source on grammar.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Bibles in Parallel to Learn via Bible Reading </span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="http://www.wordproject.org/multi/bi_en_it.htm">Word Project.org</a> very cool. You keep English on the left, say of Matthew. Put Matthew on the right - the Italian. Then you can read on your PC in complete parallels.</span></p>

This is helpful. &nbsp;I also like the many different common expressions, such as "va bene" and "spacente" (sorry).&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">3. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzl8owsd-xk">First Steps / Primi Passi </a>- Short 30 Minute Course in Italian. Best used as a refresher, but not to learn Italian. You must have studied written lessons to make any use of this. For novices, there is no translation whatsoever. You are listening to early conversation / greeting-type encounters. This video also does not explain the grammatical significance of "tu" or "ti" in reflexives, and you could end up being too personal with greeting a stranger.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Advanced. Here is my favorites of free lessons on Italian on YouTube.</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">1.&nbsp;<a href="http://marconisida.com/">marconisida.com</a> sponsors many YouTubes. I like him because he truly is Italian, pronounces everything multiple times to make sure you get it. He gives you useful pointers, giving you side-points that help you build familiarity with the materials. His English pronunciation is off, but you can understand him. He explains grammar well too. So here are a list of his that I listened to and liked. His entire channel, but including vids for Spanish speakers, is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/marconisida/videos">HERE</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">From English to Italian</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">&nbsp;From Spanish to Italian (I like this because it helps me keep Spanish differentiated from Italian, reminding me of the differences). He speaks Spanish in the middle of explaining Italian, which can help you learn Spanish too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">A. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzJvW9XY9Q">Curso de Frases Italianes</a>. 29 minutes.</span></p>
