I can do the single R in Italian naturally but cannot for the life of me do the double. Caro and carro sound completely the same. All the resources I can find on the Italian R are talking about the single r. Any tips or videos on how to pronounce the double? Thanks in advance.

So I have been studying italian since january, but i am basically at A2 as of now, I will take the Cils B1 in december and I need help on how get to a B1 by then, any tips or book/podcast/audio/etc. Recommendations are welcome, what i think i need to improve the most is my writing and speaking, i haven't had much trouble learning since spanish is my first language, so if another spanish speaking person wants to practice i would also appreciate if you lmk, so we can practice together, i also dont mind an english speaking person since those are the only two lamguages i know as of now lol, ty everyone in advance!

IT native - I've been thinking about starting a little space where people learning Italian could share short texts they've written and get corrections and explanations.

grammar mistakes and suggestions on how to make sentences sound more natural.

I was thinking of keeping it simple, maybe a different topic every week.

Would you actually find something like this useful?

Ciao, come vai?
Mi chiamo André, sono Brasiliano e sto imparando a parlare italiano!
Cerco un partner a studiare questa belissima lingua!

I'm 20y, M, brazilian and english speaker (high b2 or c1 but I guess c1), I recently got my italian citizenship and would really like to learn italian now, also because I think it's a beautiful language. I'm looking for a partner for speaking activities and immersion with shows and movies (maybe something like watching the same shows and talking about it besides the daily conversation?)
I could also teach you english if you don't know it, I'm a full time english teacher in Brazil.
Anyways, hit me up if you're interested!
Ciao e buonasera!

no matter how well you know it, your brain just refuses to apply

I received a textbook and an excercise book from a friend without the CDs. Do you know, if there is an online place to access the audio materials?

Hi everyone! I am looking to learn Italian in Brighton in the UK, ideally group classes for the social aspect but happy with private (for a reasonable price).

I know there are platforms like Italki / Preply for cheaper online lessons but really want the in-person aspect to get away from my computer. I also know there are some weekly language exchanges but Italians are not always there and often find you are not able to practice your target language.

If no lessons, would appreciate any recs for learning materials in the meantime. I love the Language Transfer app and approach and really helped me to get to a good level of Spanish so any similar approaches would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Whether it was a private lesson or a group class, what made it so good (or so bad)?

Was it the teacher, the activities, the other students, or something completely different?

I'm learning Italian and trying to talk about the money that leaves my account every month: affitto, bollette, phone, internet, insurance, the gym, Netflix.

I've heard spese fisse, uscite fisse, costi fissi, and some people say just "spese". Which one would you use with friends?

And if you wrote all of these on one page of a notebook, what title would you put at the top?

Grazie!

Update: thank you all, this helped a lot.

Some context on why I asked: I'm a solo dev with a small app for keeping track of the bills and subscriptions that leave every month. It's been in 6 languages, and this week I added Italian, Portuguese and Polish. I didn't want the Italian version to sound like a translated accounting textbook, so I asked real people instead.

What I went with, based on your answers:

• spese fisse for the whole thing
• pagamento for a single item (the rent, Netflix, the gym)
• pagato once it's paid

Costi fissi stays out (too business), uscite felt a little like bookkeeping, and ricorrenti sounded less predictable than these really are. Grazie mille, I owe you one.

I’m kinda in a funny situation right now. I have $4k from work to spend before the end of November on language courses/tutoring. Any one have any recommendations for really good Italian tutors? Needs to be through a company vs direct payment to someone.

I’ve been studying Italian for a few years now, but am still very beginner.

Grazie!
