Last Tuesday (5/10/2010) Luca Serianni, a professor of History of Italian at the Sapienza University of Rome, was interviewed on Le Storie, which is a Rai 3 daily programme about all things Italian (culture, history, politics, society, etc.)
The main focus of the programme was on the state of language (L1) education in our secondary schools, but the interview was also the occasion to tackle such topics as dialects and the dreaded subjunctive and to own up to the many mistakes native speakers often make. I think it might be encouraging for learners of Italian to realize how badly we mistreat our own language sometimes. The episode is available on the Rai website. And if you enjoy this programme and would like to watch more episodes you can find links to the archive (dating back to 2008) on the Le Storie homepage.

It’s on every day (Monday-Friday) from about 12.40/12.45 to about 13.10.
Do you get Rai 3 on satellite or on some other platform? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

We have Rai 1 + 2 + 3 on digital TV.
Edited on digital TV and Italian TV stations: In my country are two big players: 1. The telephone company Belgacom, since ever offers telephony on fixed line, € 18. When you choose internet you get ADSL on that line, +€32. They give you digital TV gratis (install+decoder+cables). Here you get the three RAI among many others who can be of interest to a language adept. 2. Telenet is a company that brought cable TV in the homes. They offer since some years telephony on that cable, which works like ordinary telephone on fixed line. You will pay for telephony AND internet together € 35, digital TV goes at the cost of € 20. Here only RAI uno. But your telephone cost to fixed lines through Europe is gratis after 17 h. and in weekends. Use of the telephone (fixed lines) during the day costs a bit more than normal calls.

Well, that’s great! Having foreign channels available on one’s TV-set must be quite convenient for language learners.
We are going through the switch over from analogical to digital TV, so for some months now I’ve been able to receive BBC World on digital TV. But that’s it as far as foreign channels go in our area (funnily enough my sister tells me that where she lives she can’t get the BBC but a French channel—she wasn’t more precise than that). It seems we are not a nation very interested in foreign languages, but neither are the powers that be interested in offering us easy and convenient access to resources in other languages. By the way, I have no idea what legal and copyright difficulties and costs are behind the broadcast of TV channels in foreign territories, so I’m not really in a position to complain. Luckily I have access to the internet and many foreign broadcasters make their programmes partially available there. But just out of curiosity, in which other countries have forum members access to Italian television from the comfort of their living room TV-set? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I excitedly looked into the possibility of watching Rai3 (where they have quite some
interesting stuff) online before, but they were predictably territorial (your ip address is not Italian, go away!). I can't get the viewer to load just now, but I can't imagine anything has changed on that front. Edited by numerodix on 12 October 2010 at 7:20pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Il maltrattamento peggio di una lingua qualsiasi è mescolarla gravementa col'inglese. Quando parlo e scrivo la mia lingua propria, il norvegese, osservo sempre un principio di usare nessuna parola inglese.
Se la propria parola norvegese non essiste, la fabbrico io stesso compositandola con elementi piu elementari come radici, prefissi e suffissi. Funziona quasi sempre. Edited by Aquila123 on 16 October 2010 at 10:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
