This section contained authentic Italian materials 1“Authentic materials” are reading texts, videos, TV programs, songs, and any other sources of language created by native speakers and published in contexts designed specifically for native-speaker consumption, with no thought given to non-native accessibility.. Listen, watch, read, and answer the questions. Do not worry if sometimes you understand just a little bit; it is absolutely normal. It is well known that authentic materials provide real language presentation, real-life situations, authentic cultural information and, of course, they motivate learners. Have fun!
Note: Closed Captions on YouTube allow you to obtain a transcript and subtitle translation for all videos. Some texts (not all of them) are translated into English. Click the images for it.
