Hi David,

Bueno is Spanish. Buono is Italian, and generally speaking it's translated as 'good' but it can also mean 'tasty' or even 'happy'. This isn't anything particularly specific about Italian because if you were to translate "good" into Italian it can take on the meaning of bello, buono or bravo. So imagine Italians thinking "Why does good have so many different meanings?". 

It takes a long time and a lot of hard work, but ultimately you start to just make sense of things. As English native speakers, I think we're unfortunately quite disadvantaged because our language isn't very highly inflected. Just stick in there, be patient, work hard and you'll get there. 

Hi David! Well, I think that the best way is to find a good cool funky teacher :) If you're interested contact me ;)

Hi David! Let me know if you are interested in an Italian vs English language exchange! :)

I recommend contacting a teacher. If you are still a beginner, depending on your learning philosophy its helpful to have a teacher who also speaks your native language at a high level so they can explain nuances in your native languge you wouldn't understand in the target language. If you are intermediate or higher I recommend going with a native speaker who is also highly competent in their language through education or interests. I have a few suggestions on Italki if you are interested as I have learned from several teachers here. Feel free to contact me!

Brilliant I take your advice and learn the simple words phrases first grazie millie
