___(ITALIANO)---> C'è solo un segreto per imparare a parlare fluentemente un'altra lingua: praticarla tutte le volte che puoi, il più che puoi e con chiunque puoi!

Retire in Italy
Live Your Dream Retirement in Italy
We will answer any question about retiring in Italy for $10.00
Live Your Dream Retirement in Italy
Imagine what it would be like to retire in Italy. Imagine being able to spend every springtime in Rome or Venice or Florence—can’t you just picture yourself meandering beside the Arno River on a perfect May evening, when all the terracotta roofs and ancient palaces are bathed in that special Florentine glow?
But you don’t have to spend all your time in Florence or any of the other great art cities to experience the magic of an Italian retirement. Italy’s landscapes are as gorgeous as they are diverse. Historic walled towns, timeless villages crowning dozens of little hilltops like tiaras, and fields covered with bright yellow sunflowers. Gnarled olive groves and lemon, orange, and almond trees, golden beaches and jewel-like Alpine lakes are found throughout the country.
Discover romantic, mysterious islands, smoldering Mount Etna, or the glittering peaks of the snow-covered Alps and the Dolomites. The Italian lake district is admittedly well trodden, but what do you know about the islands of Sardinia and Sicily? Or of Le Marché, an exquisite region on the eastern coast that shares the same luscious Renaissance landscapes as Tuscany and Umbria, but where properties are much more sensibly priced? Or of Apulia in the far south, a languid land of olive trees fringed by the turquoise Adriatic Sea, and noted for its curious dome-shaped trulli houses?
Wondering if you can afford to retire in Italy? There are numerous options and benefits available to expats wishing to retire to Italy.
Italian Retirement Visa
The elective residency visa is the type of visa generally used by foreigners who are retired and can collect income from a retirement or pension plan. To obtain an elective residency visa, you must apply in person to the specific Italian consulate that covers your jurisdiction before leaving home. To be eligible for this visa, you must provide, along with a few official forms, proof of financial means such as original financial statements from banks, investment/brokerage firms, Social Security, etc., indicating current balances. Such balances cannot be derived from current employment or other work activities. In other words, you cannot finance your residence in Italy through work. You will also need to provide a rental agreement or deed for property in Italy, and proof of valid medical insurance.
Italian Retiree Benefits
Italy doesn’t have a retiree program. But it does have benefits that we think more than make up forthat… stunning scenery, affordable real estate, some of the finest food in the world, enough culture and historical sites that would take a lifetime to experience…the list is endless.
Federal Benefits and Veterans’ Services
Those in receipt of monthly benefits from a federal agency (e.g., Social Security, Department of Veterans Affairs) should contact the federal benefits office if you are changing your address or wish to inquire about procedures for having benefit checks sent overseas. It is also possible to arrange to have Social Security checks deposited directly into your Italian bank account.
Health Care in Italy
As far as Italian health care is concerned, Italy ranks No. 2 on the World Health Organization’s list of countries with quality health services, which is very important for many people considering a retirement in Italy (neighboring France has the No. 1 spot). In contrast, the U.S. holds 37th place, despite being the highest spender.

Conversation Topics.
Conversation Topics
In order to improve your language skills, your conversation with your teacher should be as diverse as possible. This way you can acquire a broad vocabulary and learn all the different sentence structures in a language. Below you can find some suggestions for conversation topics that would guide you to achieve this.
Comparing
An interesting aspect of getting to know somebody from another country, it's to learn about their culture. One way to do this is to compare the differences between the two countries, such as pace of life, type of jobs, quality of life, cuisine, drinking habits, how people spend their spare time, ethnic makeup, social structure, climate, topography, educational system, ....
Traveling
Keen language learners are often also keen travelers. Ask your teachers if they like traveling, what are the most interesting places they have been to, what they think are the best holiday destinations, what are their country's most popular tourist attractions, if they prefer traveling on their own or taking a package tour, what they miss most when they are away from home, if they are planning to travel shortly. Ask them if they have ever met anyone interesting while on a journey or if they have ever come across any unusual food or drink.
Hypothetical Situations
One way to practice grammar is to talk about hypothetical situations. While this is not a topic in itself, you can always ask hypothetical questions in most topics of conversation. Not only would this spice up your conversation, but it would also be a good way to practice some difficult verb tenses. Take, for example, the topics above. If you and your teacher are talking about your jobs, you can ask: "If you had the choice of doing any job, what would it be?" If you are talking about your language partner country's economical and political problems, you can ask: "If you were the president, what would you do first?" If the topic of conversation is travelling, you can ask: "If you had to choose a country to live in for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?" The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
Music
This is without a doubt a much loved topic and you should make the most of it. Ask your conversation partner what their favorite group / singer / radio station / type of music are. Ask them when and how often they listen to music, if they often go to live concerts, if certain music brings memories to their mind, if there is any kind of music they can't stand, if they play any musical instruments, if they can sing, if they have ever sung karaoke, if they know the lyrics of a song in their practicing language. If you are talking to a foreigner you can ask who the most popular singers in their country are and if they can now listen to them on the radio.
Expressing your opinion
One way to get a good command of a language is being able to express your opinion about any topic. As with hypothetical questions, expressing your opinion will enrich and enliven the conversation, however do not be a know-it-all, but respect the opinion of your conversation partner and try to keep an open mind if you disagree with them. You can ask an opinion on nearly everything. Take, for example, music. You can ask your conversation partner how their opinion of good music has changed over their lifetime, if they consider CDs to be expensive or what they think about downloading free MP3s from the internet. Be extra careful when talking about religion and politics, as people tend to get quite passionate about them.
Have you ever ...?
Another way to start an interesting topic, is to ask the "Have you ever ...?" question. Here are some examples:
* Have you ever been on TV?
* Have you ever sung in public?
* Have you ever dyed your hair blond?
* Have you ever eaten frogs' legs?
* Have you ever received a present that you really hated?
* Have you ever walked into a lamppost?
* Have you ever cooked a meal by yourself for more than 15 people?
* Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others?
* Have you done volunteer work?
* Have you ever free-climbed a tree?
* Have you ever had a close relative who lived to over 100?
* Have you ever ridden a horse?
* Have you ever tried any extreme sports?
* Have you ever seen a car accident?
* Have you ever been mugged?
* Have you ever driven a sports car?
* Have you ever broken a bone?
* Have you ever cheated on an exam?
* Have you ever fallen in love at first sight?
* Have you ever met a celebrity?
* Have you ever slept in a tent?
Other topics
Ordering food, describing a person, shopping, clothes and fashion, money, celebrities, gossip, food & eating, meeting people, sports, marriage, children, education, books, computers, science and technology, annoying things.

Italian Translation Services
When search for a translation company for your Italian translation you want to make sure you’re placing your trust in the right people. You may not speak Italian yourself, so there are a few questions you’ll need to consider when choosing a translation company: how can you be sure your text has the same meaning when translated into Italian? With over ten years experience in professional translations it’s no wonder hundreds of organizations trust us to get their translations right first time. We’ll deliver your documents back to you, the way you want them, on time.
Italian Translators for Italian Translations
The Italian language is spoken by about 70 million people worldwide. Standard Italian is based on Tuscan dialects and is a kind of halfway house between the languages of southern and northern Italy. Of all the Romance languages, Italian is generally considered to be the one most closely resembling Latin in terms of vocabulary. Getting the Italian translation of your documents right can be very tricky. Clearly there’s only one Italian language, but as in most countries different sections of Italy speak different dialects. To ensure you get a quality translation, suitable for your target audience in the desired dialect, we only use native translators. In-country translators live and breathe the language they translate into, meaning their translations are of a higher quality than translators based overseas who don’t live with the language everyday.
Italian to English Translations
Text typically expands or contracts when translating one language to another. English to Italian translation typically expands by about 15%,and Italian to English translation, as you would expect, contracts by about 15%. This obviously depends on the subject matter, but must be considered when preparing your documents or website for translation, especially when you are working with copy with restricted layout requirements.
The advantage of using our services:
So, whether you have one or one hundred Italian translations done, you’ll always receive consistent top quality translation.

"Parliamo Italiano!" The Italian Conversation Group.
Interested in maintaining your Italian?
Consider: "The Italian Language Conversation Group".
Our Italian Conversation Group was created for the purpose of maintaining, promoting and increasing the Italian Culture. Our events thrive on the spontaneity, generosity and enthusiasm of our members.
Most group members live Houston, McAllen or bordering towns. Meeting attendees have various levels of proficiency; some are quite fluent, while others mostly listen. However, no English or Spanish is spoken, and no lessons are given. There are no assigned books or topics of conversation.
Nato come estemporaneo gruppo di conversazione italiana, The Italian Conversation Group è divenuto un punto di riferimento sociale e culturale sia per gli italiani residenti nell’area metropolitana di Houston e McAllen che per americani o stranieri che nutrono un serio interesse per la cultura e per la lingua italiana.
Il nostro principale obiettivo è quello di promuovere la cultura e l'uso della lingua italiana, attraverso la conversazione informale, senza quindi l'impegno di abbonamenti, iscrizioni e frequenza di regolari corsi di lingua.
The Italian Conversation Group garantisce un dialogo tra italiani e persone residenti in queste aree geografiche, offrendo un luogo che si presta allo scambio di reciproche esperienze e di preziose informazioni socio-culturali riguardanti sia l'Italia che gli Stati Uniti. Esso è pertanto utilissimo sia ai neo-arrivati, che a coloro i quali intendono mantenere vivo il loro interesse o ottenere informazioni su attualità, attività culturali e viaggi.
I nostri incontri consentono ai nostri membri di conversare in un'atmosfera tranquilla, rilassata e familiare. Le nostre non sono feste, ma festive riunioni. Alle riunioni si incontra nuova gente, si chiacchiera del più e del meno o, se lo si desidera, di cose serie; si prendono contatti, si fanno nuove amicizie, ci si informa su novità, leggi, servizi, percorsi turistici alternativi, ricette, pubblicazioni, mostre d’arte e attività culturali sia italiane che locali, il tutto assaggiando prodotti e vini italiani e verificando le ottime abilità culinarie di alcuni dei nostri partecipanti.
L’atmosfera è rilassata e conviviale. Il nostro gruppo e' frequentato in egual misura da italiani, americani e stranieri provenienti da ogni parte del mondo. Il livello di conversazione non è prestabilito e dipende interamente dall'abilità e dall'esperienza dei partecipanti. Ai nostri incontri la conversazione italiana è d'obbligo. Registratevi al nostro sito. L'operazione é gratuita, e i vostri dati personali non saranno mai resi accessibili ad alcuna entità privata, commerciale o pubblica.
Grazie per esservi uniti a noi in questa eccitante avventura.
Speriamo d'incontrarvi alla prossima riunione!
The Italian Conversation Group began when several friends got together to practice speaking Italian. The group remained fairly small for about a year – in fact, one time only a single person showed up. The gatherings took place in restaurants but when the group grew, it became impossible to manage the meetings and keep our 'ragione d'essere'– converse in Italian – alive. After trying a few more cafés and restaurants, it was decided to attempt a more cordial atmosphere by meeting in private homes.
Accessibility to our meetings is defined by one simple rule: as long as the participant makes a sincere effort to speak Italian, s/he is always welcome to join in. In fact, at the meetings we do not speak English, Spanish or other languages. Thus, while we remain open to new members, it is in our sole interest that The Italian Conversation Group does not slip into the format of a generic party. We therefore discourage our members from inviting friends who do not speak Italian.
The only reason we feel compelled to formulate these thoughts in English or Spanish is to include in this discourse those individuals whose language skills have not achieved full proficiency. It would be unfair, assuming that everyone approaching our group is capable to discern advanced Italian.
We nevertheless hold true our rule: at the meetings, Italian is required and expected.
At the meetings, 'italiano' is spoken at all levels. You will fit right in, whether you are capable to set off on a philosophical dissertation, or you need to learn how to order at the restaurant.
Members' skills vary from beginners to native speakers.
Accompanied by the fine food and wines our members bring, our meetings are the perfect environments for a non-Italian member who is interested in our culture and language to hear the native tongue here, at home.
Our members can meet a variety of people who have already developed an interest in our secular traditions and language, and expand their network and acquaintances.
Our meetings have become the checkpoint of all the Italians who arrive in Houston or McAllen and the polar information center of anyone who is planning for a trip to Italy. Europeans have fed their nostalgia of the old continent and retrieved those colorful habits and warm hospitality, which are the distinguished marks of the Italian culture.
So, next time you plan to make it to an event, pick-up some bread, grab some Italian cheese, or get some tiramisù, sherbet, Nutella or biscotti.
Wine consumption has never been a concern as it is done very moderately, convivial style.
If you have time, make something you like to cook.
Our events thrive on the spontaneity, generosity and enthusiasm of our members.
The Italian Conversation Group grows and prospers out of the continuing enthusiasm of our members and the generosity of those who host its meetings.
Our mission is to promote an appreciation of Italian language and culture through Italian language lessons, cooking lessons, film, art, music, literature, wine tastings, sports, travel and social engagement. We help people with a strong interest in Italy connect with one another, both online and in person.
We're the original Italian language meetup group in our area. Tutti possono aderire al nostro gruppo. Se ci aiuti a crescere... cresceremo insieme!
Want to find out more? Check our calendar to see the exact time and location of events and come join us. Read more about our activities.
* Quattro chiacchiere tra amici: These bi-weekly events offer the opportunity to practice your Italian with other very friendly and enthusiastic Italian language speakers in a highly informal and comfortable setting. Our group is at all levels of Italian proficiency from beginning to advanced and we all help each other. Parleremo di tutto e di niente, l'importante è stare in compagnia e farsi anche qualche risata.
* Cineforum italiano: Italian films are a wonderful way to share an Italian cultural experience.
* Let's Travel to Italy: Come experience Italy with our group and create memories that last a lifetime! Our group trips are limited to small groups of travelers.
* Tutti a tavola: We offer Italian cooking lessons where you can learn the art and traditions of Italian cooking while speaking Italian.
* L'aperitivo italiano: We enjoy Happy Hour events in Italian style. We often celebrate with our friends in the group. Cin-Cin!
And it doesn't stop there.
We're always looking for new opportunities to socialize while enjoying Italian language and culture.
We participate in guided museum tours, lectures, exhibits, street festivals, concerts, sporting events and cultural events at the Italian embassy and other locations. All the events are selected with the Italian and italophile in mind.
You'll see the exact time and location for events once you join our group.

Our Events.
The Italian Language Conversation Group consists of a diverse and friendly group of people who come together to converse in the Italian language.
Speaking entirely in Italian is very much encouraged. Most of the people speak at an intermediate or an advanced level. However, there are some native speakers as well as a few beginner.
The format for the meetings is open, which means you are free to roam around and speak to whomever you wish about any topic you wish. The more members that you interact with the more you will get to practice speaking in Italian. Some members are more comfortable listening to conversations, while others are more interested in actively participating in a conversation. Please do what makes you feel comfortable.

Want to speak the Italian Language with other "appassionati" della Bella Lingua? Make new friends and network with native and non-native Italian speakers?
You've come to the right Meetup. The Monterrey Italian Language Meetup group offers you that opportunity. We schedule a variety of events in Monterrey that provide our "soci" with the opportunity to speak Italian at an intermediate or higher level, meet other Italians and Italian culture lovers and participate in Italian cultural, recreational and language events throughout Monterrey, NL.
Here's a selection of events we've held in the past:
Learn to make the classic dessert Tiramisu and the lemon-flavored liqueur Limoncello yourself!
Learn to speak Italian while Learning to Cook Italian Food!
We invite you to join the Monterrey Italian Language Meetup and look forward to meeting you at one of our events.
*Please note that in order to maintain some kind of reliability with the group, members with 3 "no shows" to events will automatically be removed form the group out of respect for the organizers and other members.

Group Rules.
Our mission is to promote an appreciation of Italian language and culture through social engagement. We help people with a strong interest in Italy connect with one another, both online and in person. Membership is FREE and we're open to all levels of Italian language from zero to native fluency.
It doesn't cost any money to be a member! Many of the events cost money (food, drinks, admission, etc.) which is why you can pick and choose which ones you attend. Some of our events are spendy, and some are free! Keep in mind that the organizers do have to pay dues to run this group. If you have a good time and can donate a buck or two, please do. It goes a long way to help cover the costs of running the meetup group.

1. Events are only open to registered members who RSVP for that event.
2. Members must be at least 18 years of age for our events, 21+ for bar events.
3. Members are responsible to find and check in with us as soon as they arrive.
4. Members who cannot make it must cancel RSVP 24 hours BEFORE an event, allowing members on WAITING LIST to be added.
5. Members who RSVP but do not show up 3 times will be removed from the group.
6. Members who just show up that are not on RSVP list will be removed from the group, WAITING LIST does not count.
7. No business promoting or dating group behavior will be tolerated.
- We REMOVE members that break our rules, are rude, aggressive or socially inappropriate towards our members.
-Somos un grupo creciente de hombres y mujeres de varias edades que buscan asistir a eventos culturales, sociales, deportivos y artísticos, así como discutir temas de actualidad, con la finalidad de conocer gente nueva, ampliar nuestro círculo social y hacer nuevos amigos. No importa si eres soltero, casado, tu edad, género, religión, ideas políticas ni ningún otro aspecto de tu persona, ya que buscamos dialogar, compartir experiencias y reflexiones sobre diversos temas, así como también establecer vínculos de amistad, relaciones de pareja o algún otro interés humano que pueda generarse entre nosotros!
