Episode 2 – Season 4 – Coffee Break Spanish

CBS Lesson 402

Join Mark and Carmen for the second episode in our series for advanced learners of Spanish and follow the story of María and Rory’s summer on the island of Mallorca. In this episode María writes an email to Rory inviting him to spend the summer working in her Aunt Consuelo’s hotel.

How to ask and answer ‘where are you from?’ in Italian

To make new friends when speaking a new language, you must know how to ask about their nationality and answer about yours, as it can be an icebreaker in conversations. Therefore, if you are in Italy or Switzerland, being able to ask ‘where are you from’ in Italian can be very important. 

In this article, we will explore the various ways to ask and answer the questions as well as provide you with a basic list of nationalities in Italian. Don’t forget to listen to the Coffee Break Italian episode while reading this article to master the pronunciation of the new sentences you will learn here!

Asking ‘where are you from?’ in Italian 

After asking someone how you are doing in Italian, the next step to keep the conversation going might be to talk about someone’s origins. As in almost any language, there are both formal and informal ways to ask ‘where are you from?’ in Italian. 

You can choose the appropriate form depending on the context and who you’re speaking to. Let’s have a closer look at them: 

Informal 

For casual conversations with friends, peers, or people your age, you can use the informal version:

  • Di dove sei?

The pronunciation of it goes as dee DOH-veh say.

Formal

This form uses the third-person singular conjugation and is appropriate when speaking to someone older, in a professional setting or when you want to show respect. The formal version of asking ‘where are you from?’ in Italian is: 

  • Di dov’è?

The pronunciation is a little different dee doh-VEH.

Nationalities in Italian

Before diving into how to answer the question ‘where are you from?’ in Italian, you must know some nationalities or even the names of some cities in the language, right? So, check out the list to learn some new vocabulary:

  • americano/a American
  • scozzese Scottish
  • canadese Canadian
  • australiano/a Australian
  • italiano/a Italian
  • brasiliano/a Brazilian
  • irlandese Irish
  • spagnolo/a Spanish
  • francese French 
  • cinese Chinese
  • tedesco/a German

Notice that -o is for masculine and -a is used for feminine. This is a pattern that you will see in many situations as you progress in Italian. Although in the above list, it is also possible to see the use of -e for both genders, usually they end in –ese.

Now, let’s check the names of some cities, as they can change a little when pronouncing them in Italian:

  • Milano Milan
  • Londra London
  • Dublino Dublin
  • Parigi Paris
  • Mosca Moscow
  • Lisbona Lisbon
  • Berlino Berlin

Responding to ‘where are you from?’ in Italian

Okay, now you are familiar with Italian nationalities and the names of some cities. That means that you are ready to answer when someone asks you, “Di dove sei?” or “Di dov’è?” 

You can respond with a simple sentence indicating your place of origin. The basic structure is:

  • Sono di [place]. I am from [place].

For example:

  • Sono di Roma. I am from Rome.
  • Sono di Lisbona. I am from Lisbon. 
  • Sono di Madrid.  I am from Madrid. 

After stating where you’re from, it’s polite to ask the same question back to continue the conversation if you were the one who didn’t ask it first. You can say:

  • E tu? Di dove sei?
     E Lei? Di dov’è? (formal)

Understanding how to ask and answer ‘where are you from?’ in Italian is a fundamental step in your language-learning journey. You’ll become more confident in your Italian-speaking abilities by practising these phrases and engaging in meaningful conversations.

So next time you meet someone new, don’t hesitate to ask ‘di dove sei?’ and be prepared to share your own story ‘sono di [your place]’. 

Are you ready to keep improving your language skills? Then check out the article we prepared on how to talk about where you live in Italian!

Learn how to ask ‘What is your name?’ in Italian and how to introduce yourself with confidence

Whether you’re dreaming of exploring the streets of Rome, planning to connect with Italian friends, or simply interested in learning a new language, mastering the basics of Italian is a great place to start. Today, we’re focusing on an essential step before engaging in conversations in Italian: how to ask ‘what is your name?’ in Italian and introduce yourself.

These essential phrases are perfect for introducing yourself and getting to know others in Italian-speaking environments. Don’t forget to listen to the Coffee Break Italian podcast, where you’ll hear these expressions in real-life contexts and practise your pronunciation with Mark and Francesca.

How to ask ‘What is your name’ in Italian

When meeting someone new, it’s always polite to ask for their name. In Italian, there are different ways to do this, depending on how formal the situation is.

Informal phrase

The informal way to ask What is your name? in Italian is Come ti chiami?. You can use this phrase when speaking to someone around your age or in a casual setting. It’s a friendly and relaxed way to start a conversation.

Formal phrase

In more formal situations, you would use Come si chiama? to ask What is your name? in Italian. This version is appropriate when speaking to someone you don’t know well, someone older, or in a professional setting to show respect.

Saying ‘my name is’ in Italian

As important as asking ‘What is your name?’ in Italian, is knowing how to say ‘my name is …’.  This is one of the most basic yet important phrases to learn. It allows you to introduce yourself confidently.

The most common way to say ‘my name is’ in Italian is Mi chiamo… followed by your name. This phrase is versatile and can be used in both formal and informal situations.

Alternatively, you could say Il mio nome è…, which also means my name is, or even a simple Sono… which is I am. However, Mi chiamo is more commonly used in everyday conversation.

Engaging in conversation

After introductions, it’s natural to ask someone how they are. This question acts as a friendly icebreaker rather than a genuine inquiry, often used to set a positive tone at the start of a conversation. 

Whether you ask Come stai? (informal), Come sta? (formal), or simply Come va?, these are all ways to check in and open up dialogue. For a detailed look at these phrases and other essential greetings in Italian.

Piacere!

When you meet someone for the first time, you can say Piacere!, which translates to Nice to meet you! or Pleased to meet you!. It’s a polite and friendly way to greet someone new.

You can then respond with Piacere mio!, translating to My pleasure or The pleasure is mine. It’s a warm way to reciprocate the greeting and express that you are also pleased to meet the other person.

Practice makes perfect

To help you practise your new Italian phrases, here’s an example of an informal conversation between two people who are meeting for the first time. This will cover how to ask their name, and respond warmly: 

  • Ciao, come ti chiami? Hi, what’s your name?
  • Mi chiamo Anna. E tu? My name is Anna. And you?
  • Io sono Marco. Piacere di conoscerti! I’m Marco. Nice to meet you!
  • Piacere mio, Marco. The pleasure is mine, Marco.
  • A presto! See you soon!

By using these expressions you can confidently introduce yourself in Italian and initiate a conversation! To take the conversation further don’t forget to check our blog post to ask where you live in italian, so you will be able to add more information on yourself and reply to questions!

Newsletter Activity 2 – J’en ai marre!

CBF Join Conversation

Are you familiar with the expression j’en ai marre? It’s a great colloquial expression which means “I’m fed up” or “I’ve had enough”. You can use it on its own, or add de and say what you’re fed up doing. For example:

  • j’en ai marre de faire la vaisselle
  • j’en ai marre de ma voisine
  • j’en ai marre du téléphone

Can you work out what these examples mean? Try to use this expression and let us know what you’re fed up doing by posting a comment below! Don’t forget you need to include the en!

Newsletter Activity 2 – Saying how long you’ve been doing something for

Join the Conversation

Learners of Spanish often find it difficult to say how long they’ve been doing something for because there’s a change of verb tense from English to Spanish. Consider the sentence:

  • “I’ve been speaking Spanish for three months”.

In English we use a past tense: “I have been learning”. However in Spanish we use a present tense and form this sentence in one of two ways:

  • hace tres meses que hablo español
  • hablo español desde hace tres meses

It’s also important to point out that there are other ways to form this construction, but today we’re focusing on using hace. Here is a simplification of these constructions:

  • hace + time phrase + que + present tense
  • present tense + desde hace + time phrase

It’s over to you. Let us know how long you’ve been learning Spanish, or playing the guitar, or travelling the world using one of these constructions!

Episode 1 – Season 4 – Coffee Break Spanish

CBS Season 4 Lesson 1

Join Mark and Carmen in this first episode of Coffee Break Spanish Season 4 in which they present the first chapter of our story based around María’s diary entry. In this episode you’ll get to know María and how she has spent time studying in Edinburgh, but is glad to be back on her beloved island of Mallorca for the summer. You’ll also find out about Rory, her boyfriend, and you’ll learn how they met. This episode is full of interesting idiomatic expressions and complex grammar points.

How to say ‘how are you’ in Italian and other essential greetings

CBI Lesson 101

One of the first steps in mastering Italian – or any other language for that matter- is to learn basic greetings and common phrases. Among these, knowing how to ask ‘how are you’ in Italian is essential. 

In this blog post, we’ll explore the different ways to ask someone how they are in Italian, how to respond, and how to say hi in various contexts. To check the nuances of pronunciation, don’t forget to click play on the podcast!

How to say ‘hi’ in Italian

First things first, before asking ‘how are you’ in Italian, you need to say at least ‘hi’. There are various ways of doing that, ciao (pronounced: chow) is definitely the most common one. It can be used to say either ‘hi’ or ‘goodbye’. 

Besides ciao, Italians also have other standard greetings like:  

  • Buongiorno / buon giorno, which means good morning and is used until around noon;
  • Buonasera / buona sera, which means good evening and is used from late afternoon onwards.

How to say ‘how are you’ in Italian

The phrase ‘how are you’ in Italian can be expressed in a few different ways, depending on the level of formality and familiarity you have with the person you are talking with. 

‘Come stai?’

When speaking with friends, family, or peers, you can use the informal ‘Come stai?’. This form is more casual and appropriate for everyday conversations. You can use this question when speaking to one person only.

‘Come sta?’

If you are speaking to someone you don’t know well, or someone in a position of authority (like a teacher, boss, or elder), you should use the formal ‘Come sta?’. Again, you can only use this question when speaking to one person only.

‘Come va?’

Another variation is ‘come va?’, which translates to ‘how is it going?’’ and can be used in both formal and informal situations, for more than one person.

Responding to ‘how are you’ in Italian

Knowing how to respond to ‘come stai?’, ‘come va? or ‘come sta?’ is just as important as asking someone how they are feeling. Why? Well, they will probably reply to it and ask you ‘e tu?’ or ‘e Lei?’ (in reply to ‘come sta?’) meaning ‘and you?’. 

Here are some common positive responses you can give:

  • BeneI’m well 
  • Molto beneI’m very well
  • BenissimoI’m very very well

You can add grazie thank you after answering the question. However, if you are not doing well, you can say:

  • MaleI’m (feeling) bad
  • Molto male I’m (feeling) very bad
  • Malissimo I’m (feeling) very, very bad/awful/terrible 

You can also simply respond to the question using sto, and the same goes for the negative forms.  Finally, if you are feeling neither good nor bad, you can say:

  • Così cosìSo-so
  • Non c’è maleNot bad

Practice makes perfect

To help you put your new vocabulary into practice, here’s an example conversation between two people meeting for the first time. This dialogue will include greetings, asking how the other person is, and responses.

  • Ciao, come stai? Hi, how are you?
  • Ciao, sto bene, grazie. E tu? Hi, I’m good, thank you! And you?
  • Sto benissimo! I’m very very well!
  • Piacere di conoscerti. A presto! Nice to meet you. See you soon!
  • Ciao! Bye!

By incorporating these phrases into your daily conversations, you’ll not only improve your Italian but also make meaningful connections with Italian speakers. So, the next time you meet someone, confidently ask Come stai? and enjoy the engaging conversations that follow.

How this works – Coffee Break Spanish Season 4

CBS4 How This Works

We’re about to launch the fourth season of Coffee Break Spanish and in this short podcast episode Mark explains what is involved in this new season.

Each lesson in this new course represents a chapter in our story. The chapter is built around a text: this text could be an email or a conversation between two of the characters, or it could be a diary entry or a letter. In the audio episode we’ll listen to a spoken version of that text. We’ll be publishing the free preview episodes of the course here on the site, on iTunes and on Soundcloud. The preview episodes include an introduction from Mark and Carmen, the audio of the text and then a summary of the text in English to help learners understand.

Our premium materials for Season 4 include the following elements:

  • the full audio lesson: running to around 30 minutes, this episode analyses the text and Mark and Carmen will discuss the grammar points and idiomatic expressions featured in the text, helping you to understand with further examples;
  • a transcript of the lesson: if you didn’t quite catch what the presenters said in Spanish in the episode, you’ll be able to follow the transcript and use the handy notes to help you fully understand;
  • bonus audio lesson: we’re also providing an extra episode which will test you on your translation skills.
