This is the sound of old people talking to one another in South Philly while I was growing up. It's such a warm, comforting sound -- thank you for these lessons.

[matts]

I remember hearing my relatives talk like this. Such memories ❤️😭❤️😊🙏

[iulianbogasieru]

Wow, with so many schwas, whole phrases sound like Romanian. Thank you for posting.

[clydedsouza]

I will speak Napolitano whenever I will order pizza in Naples.

Thank you for the lessons! Neapolitan is the dialect I want to learn out of all of the Italian dialects. Much love from Chicago!

I am in love!!! I have been looking for Neapolitan tutoring for ages. I love the music and the language and I speak Italian. I love your course because I can see things written down besides hearing them, and I can compare them with the Italian!!! Thank you so much!

[patrickbarks]

I really like the neopolitan dialect and prefer it to the normal Italian language.

[sianchandler]

I am enjoying this so much! I just moved to Napoli and I am studying Italian which I love but I have trouble understanding Neapolitans in my day to day life, and I am trying to learn the Neapolitan dialect. I love it!

[itremont]

Awesome. this is a neat effort to introduce Neapolitan to anyone interested in this rich historic language. I applaud the initiative and encourage Aaron & Stefano to expand and develop the program.

That was absolutely delightful! My brother sent me this video and we've both been enjoying it tremendously. Finally, some REAL Italian to listen to! <wink>

Boys, I believe the "a" and the "v" are accidentally reversed at 1:16 -- should probably be spelt "arrivat'" instead of "arriavt". I can't even speak Italian, but my grandparents spoke Nabulidan', so I'm just guessing.

I hope you'll be doing a lesson on doubled consonants in their more exotic grammatical contexts, e.g.: _'e gguaglione_ (feminine plural); _'e guagliune_ (masculine plural) -- that's an example I found on Wikipedia, just FYI -- and _'o napuletano, _ 'the Neapolitan man' vs _'o nnapuletano, _ 'the Neapolitan language' -- also on Wikipedia. The explanation is that there is a neuter gender in Neapolitan, but nothing more is said about that. ...I bet even Italian speakers would find this grammar topic helpful.

Also misspelling: _vechiamte_ at 0:51 -- should be _ve chiamate_ I think.

EDIT: Yes, at 1:45, it's spelt _ve chiamate, _ not _vechiamte._

Why was the e pronounced like an o in "chiste (e) mariteme"?

My father was born in Afragola and came to the US in the 80's. When my friends hear him speak they say "I thought you guys were Italian?". 🤦‍♀️
