Learning the Italian colours and clothing vocabulary can be a good strategy to improve your Italian level. Vocabulary is something you learn little by little and which is essential when you study a foreign language because it helps you make sentences, express your ideas and put the language into practice.
As you know, vocabulary lists can be very long, so in order to avoid being overwhelmed, it is important to first start with basic lists. So, don’t complicate things too much. As soon as you start using the Italian language, new words will automatically be incorporated into your speech. Here are two basic lists:
- The Italian colours list with the proper translation in English.
- The Italian clothing and accessories, once again in Italian and English.
If you want to practice the pronunciation of these Italian words related to the Italian colours and clothing vocabulary, please remember that you can have face to face and online Italian lessons with one of our native and qualified Italian teachers.
