  • You better believe this lesson is authentic Sicilian - they teach you “Let’s go, I’m hungry” before “Hello”

    Family is from Palermo, I really want to visit someday and be able to speak with my grandmother in her native tongue

    My mama spoke only Sicilian until she went to school and learned English, but she married an American who only spoke English, and she did not teach us her language. I would love to learn it! She would switch to Sicilian without realizing it whenever she felt a strong emotion (loving, sad, angry, etc.).

    I was recently in Silicy, beautiful! I can understand your dialect. I am an American by birth, but my heart belongs to Napoli & Roma.
  • I'm born in USA, but my heart belongs to Taramino. My grandparents were born there!
  • So excited to find this. My family is from Villasmundo and I would love to go. Shame I didn't try to learn sooner.

    I'm not Sicilian or Sicilian-American, but I like the sound of Sicilian and at the risk of opening a can of worms, I'm glad to hear Sicilian in contexts other than the stereotypical ones shown in movies on TV. I think The Godfather is a good movie, for example, but I also find it cringe worthy that many people think Sicilian is spoken only by crime bosses. It's refreshing to see Sicilian promoted as a language spoken by ordinary people. "Era la vo! Sunuzzu veni!" (Sicilian lullaby.)
  • Thank you very much! This lessons it is important for me I learn a maltese.

    I love sicillians you are in my heart in my blood ❤
  • I have a theory why Italians in USA have a hard time letting their kids keep the language. Italians learned both Italian and their dialect in Italy. But there kids get spoken to in dialect at home so if you happen to meet other Italians then they may have different dialect. Just a theory. PS , I am from Sicily but grew up in USA and went through this in my family. Luckily as I got older I learned a bit of " real" Italian, but love both ..
