My goal is to speak Italian fluently.

Pronunciation

'Obiettivo' = ob-yet-TEE-vo — four syllables. 'Correntemente' = kor-ren-te-MEN-teh — five syllables.

When to use it

State your language learning goal clearly in a class, language exchange, or conversation with an Italian who is helping you practice. It sets expectations and invites encouragement.

What it means

'Il mio obiettivo è' + infinitive = 'my goal is to.' This is a clean, formal statement of purpose. 'Correntemente' = 'fluently' — an adverb from 'corrente' (flowing). It modifies the verb 'parlare.'
