Meeting someone in Italian is often your first real Italian test to practice your language-learning skills when visiting Italy or another Italian-speaking region. So, we're here to help you practice speaking Italian with this Italian Conversation Practice for Beginners. Our native English speaker will say each phrase, and then our native Italian speaker will repeat each phrase in Italian.

These casual Italian phrases are good for friends, family, or just meeting a stranger, who is around the same age as you, in a Italian-speaking country.

In Italian, there are two different ways to translate the singular form of the word “you”: Formal = Lei, Casual = Tu. This video demonstrates a casual conversation between people of approximately the same age, so uses “tu”.

There are a few Italian phrases in this video that end in a/o. The change in these sentences is based on the gender of the speaker or the person being referred to. For example, a man would say "Sono stanco" to say "I'm tired," while a woman would say "Sono stanca." Similarly, a man stating his nationality would say "Sono americano," while a woman would say "Sono americana." If a woman is asked, "Have you ever been to New York?" the correct form would be "Sei mai stata a New York?" but for a man, it would be "Sei mai stato a New York?" Since this video demonstrates two women talking to each other, we use "Sei mai stata a New York?"

Watching and listening to native Italian speakers is the fastest way to learn Italian, so start with this Italian Conversation for Beginners lesson.
