Attention Italian langblrs! I just found an Italian fanfiction website. This is a perfect way of practicing while engaging in our non-language interests simultaneously! Here's the link.

Hello, would you recommend a few series of children's books or comics (Frog and Toad type) or even websites (news, Wikidia equivalent) that can be found online? I have been wanting to read more but most content is too complicated and discouraging. Thank you!
Ciao!
In the resources masterpost you can find some links for this. In the "various internet Italian links" section, there are a few free online resources with - books/pdfs (the links on the 4th line. Some of these are also audiobooks and some have both ITA-ENG -bilingual- text: you can also find famous children's fairytales like Cinderella in Italian, eg.. Not sure if I mentioned there in some list but I suggest to check the website "liberliber.it" as well, js); - a bunch of Rodari's poems for kids ("Ferragosto" and the others on the same line. I translated some of these, if you need a translation also for others just let me know); - a couple of links more about children's pdfs (most famous children's stories again)/nursery rhymes (links on next line) - children's songs + Rai for kids (in the listening/watching subsection) - many news, magazines links
I'm sorry I'm not copying everything here but I prefer to leave just suggestions/indications: you can also check the other links I put there as maybe there's more for you (and I don't remember). If some links don't work it could be that too much time has passed (sorry I haven't cheked them in a while), or something has changed: you can ask me ofc.
Also, one famous physical comic for children is Topolino (and the similar weekly comics like Zio Paperone -you can find them in the website). It's not even just for kids tbh as also adults enjoy it, but it's generally easy... sometimes it may hide references to our culture/situation, but ofc you can ask if you need. There are other comics but maybe they're a little too complex to understand if you're a beginner, so I will suggest them later on if you want.
Hope you'll find something for you and enjoy! :)

This man, who has been teaching about science and nature in Italian television for decades and has been an institution for us, has died today and I can't tell you how sad I am about it.

E pareva giocasse nella notte morente, la luna, libera e sola nel deserto del cielo crepuscolare, sopra la terra ancora addormentata; e si nascondeva, e riappariva tra le fronde, e si specchiava nell'acqua destandovi mille sorrisi, compiacendosi a vedersi nuda, libera e sola.
— Grazia Deledda, Marianna Sirca

[ And it looked like she was playing in the dying night, the moon, free and alone in the desert of the crepuscular sky, over the still asleep earth; and she'd hide, and reappear between the fronds, and look at herself in the water rousing a thousand smiles, pleased to see herself naked, free, and alone. | translation is mine. ]

Ciao !! We’re finally on day 4! I had time today at work and I asked myself what my vocabulary list should be about ? So I searched for themes, the one that came first was “things in my room”. I find it very interesting to list everything that was in my room but finally I decided, the first, more obvious, was… Hotel lexical field !!! I am now working for 4 months in a hotel with people I love and I think this was actually a good everyday idea for proper communication with customers. I actually believe this is a good idea for people who want to book rooms, even if there is a problem with something, you will always have these words next to you. My native language is French and I know a lot of people are learning it so I decided to do a three version of this vocabulary; one in Italian, one in English and also one in French. if you think i made mistakes or if you think we can say anything else for some words, don't hesitate to say it ! <3

I lowkey find it hilarious how Lost & Found in other languages is:
German: Fundsachen (Found stuff)
Italian: Oggetti smarriti (Lost objects)
I feel like someone could say something anthropological about this but I'm not that person.

european italians when italian americans have their own pronunciations & spellings because we are a linguistically isolated diaspora & most of our families spoke regional dialects instead of standard italian when they immigrated anyways:

This translates from the Italian as "The cook cooks the snake" which is getting a little wild for the Italian module, I feel. Although maybe it's like "Io ho l'ape" which is "I have the bee" but as the Italian readers informed me, "ape" is both a bee and a kind of amusing car, so perhaps il serpente is a kind of pastry or something.
Italians, tell me it's a kind of pastry. It's okay to lie if you have to.
[ID: A screengrab of the Duolingo app featuring Falstaff the Bear, who is smiling because I correctly transcribed "Il cuoco cucina un serpente" from an audio recording of him saying it. The phrase in English would read "the cook cooks the snake."]

I think the most frustrating thing about the start of learning a language is trying to understand videos, tv shows made by native speakers and you realize you just CANT for now.
Like, it's normal to not understand, i only know like not even 100 words im at the basics but you're trying to search some vloggers you find them but you don't know if you're really learning by watch this italian video in english subtitles w native speaking for 10 minutes.
I'm trying to read Italians subtitles but it's IMPOSSIBLE to understand a thing, I only can heard the word ragazzi haha but i think it's ok i'm trying to make my routine by listening at least 30 minutes of italian i think i should also try it by italians newspapers. maybe 5 minutes per day ? highlight every words i'm able to understand for now and keep it for later in my study.
I also found this girl on tiktok, she's living in bolognese, seems she's been learning italian for a while now but people still says that her accent is not good. I'm like wtf, I see that this girl speaks a good italian and it's still not enough ? she's still trying to learn grammar, conjugation, etc. I'm thinking about when should i learn this? I know the very basic conjugation but it seems to have a lot of things when you start to learn this.
I hope I will survive at this !! I can't wait to be able to understand videos by natives. By making these short stories, I'm realizing the most that i miss in english is vocabulary. I keep reusing the same words im sorry for those who reads me i will try to be better in the future!
