Why should you learn Italian
Italian is one of the most spoken languages in Europe. There are around 70 million Italian native speakers in the wold, but only 3 million people know it as a second language which is a very small number compared to for instance French and German. However, knowing the Italian language can enrich your understanding of the Italian history and culture. Italy isn’t only known for its art, but it’s also got a rich history of literature, music, food, fashion and design. If you want to truly immerse yourself in the Italian culture, you really need to learn the language. It’ll also enhance you career progression and broaden your job oppotunities.
Remember that learning a language is a challenge and a long term goal. We’re here to help you reach that dream faster and easier. It doesn’t happen overnight, but once you know a language, you know it for life!
