Medium speed Italian

Italian people often talk fast, about 120 to 160 words a minute. This is normal speed for real talk. Short words join together, and people use their voice and hands to help you understand. You will also hear words you won't find in a book. Try not to look at subtitles first. Listen first, then check the words after. Videos about food, family, or daily life are easier, because you already know many of these words.
