Step 1: Take the numbers up to five.
To get a feel for Italian, start with a few numbers.Pay attention to how the numbers are spelled, but not their pronunciation.The vowels are in all caps: 0 zero (TSEH-ro) 1 uno (OO-no) 2 due (DOO-eh) 3 tre (TREH) 4 quattro (KWAHT-tro) 5 cinque.
Step 2: You can follow up with six through ten.
You are ready to learn up to ten once you have the first few numbers down.It's important to pay attention to the number ten, which is the first to have three syllables.6 sei, 7 sette, 8 otto, 9 nove, 10 dieci.
Step 3: Try to do eleven through twenty.
You will have a good idea of how the language sounds after you have mastered the first few numbers.The numbers eleven through twenty are a bit longer, but they will sound the same as the numbers 1-10.11 undici, 12 dodici, 13 tredici and 14 quattordici.
Step 4: The numbers can be practiced.
They will stick in your memory if you use the numbers as often as possible.You will feel more comfortable speaking Italian with regular practice.You can use a combination of techniques, such as making flashcards and quizzing yourself, to use the numbers.
Step 5: You can learn the sounds of Italian vowels.
You will sound more natural when speaking the language if you know how to say words correctly.Italian vowels are a distinctive part of the language's sound, so make sure to pay attention to their correct pronunciation.O sounds close to either the vowels in "awe" or "go" when pronouncing e.
Step 6: Do you know how to pronounce Italian vowels?
The English equivalents of most Italian consonants are close.It is mostly a matter of paying attention to a few guidelines and a couple of special cases.A hard c is similar to the "c" in a car.When there is an h after a c or g, the sound will be hard.sc is similar to the "sh" in "ship." r in Italian is slightly trilled.S can sound like an English "z" or like a "ts" sound, as in pizza.The cluster gn and gl are close to the middle of the sound in million.
Step 7: You can learn the numbers up to twenty-nine.

Step 8: You can learn higher numbers.
If you know the basic pattern for how higher numbers are formed in Italian, you will be able to expand your vocabulary.Try saying the tens up to one hundred.
Step 9: Pick up some words.
Ask the person you know who speaks Italian to let you practice with them.Introduce yourself with a few greetings.What is your name? For example, you might say: Hello, Ciao (CHOW) My name isMelissa.Come chiami?Nice to meet you, Piacere di conoscerti, how are you?Come stai?I am fine, goodbye, Ciao or Arrivederci.
