🇩🇪 → 🇮🇹
Your native language (Deutsch) quietly pushes you into specific Italian errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →Auxiliary choice in the passato prossimo largely parallels German: motion/change verbs take essere like sein ("ist gegangen" → "è andato"). Trust this instinct — it transfers well.
Both have gender but assignments flip, famously: die Sonne → IL sole, der Mond → LA luna. And German neuter nouns must pick masculine or feminine in Italian.
German pushes the verb to the end after weil/dass; Italian keeps it beside the subject even in subordinates: "perché HO fame", not "perché fame habe".
German contrasts long vs short VOWELS; Italian contrasts long vs short CONSONANTS (nono vs nonno). Shift your length-attention from the vowel to the consonant.
Articles and adjectives agree: il libro rosso / la casa rossa.
The article changes with the noun’s first sound (lo studente, gli amici).
