Why Learn Italian?

"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery." -Amy Chua

Get the most out of your trip to Italy!
When traveling in Italy, knowing the local language (even at a basic level) can greatly enrich your experience. It enables you to communicate more effectively, connect with locals, and navigate various situations with greater ease. Not to mention all the great conversations and new friends you'll have along the way.

Overcome your language fears
When traveling to another country, communication can often be daunting, especially if you have little or no knowledge of the local language. This can cause anxiety, stress and even embarrassment. However, with the right approach, development and support, you can prevail!

Understand songs, movies, and books.
Italy is world-famous for its historical and modern arts. From the visual arts to performance and literature. To fully appreciate and understand songs, performances, films and/or literary texts, you need to have a good command of the language. Of course, you can get translations or subtitles, but it is common knowledge that languages often cannot be translated accurately. Learning Italian can therefore be very useful for these entertainment purposes.

It's an easy second language for native English speakers to learn.
Although English derives more from Western- Germanic language, it shares many cognates with Italian, making it easier to learn and understand different terms. In addition, there is already a considerable number of words already used in English that is borrowed directly from Italian, such as medicine, volcano and flu, to name a few.

Finally communicate with friends and family members that you were never able to before.
Are you tired of feeling left out at family gatherings? Do you have trouble communicating with your partner's family? Leave these worries behind, because now you can finally express yourself, share, joke and laugh with them!

Learning Italian is fun and opens you to a new culture!
Learning Italian is not as difficult as it may seem. Yes, it requires study, time and discipline, but learning another language can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Plus, as you learn the language, you will also gain a better understanding of Italian culture and customs.
