The value of learning Italian

Learning a romance language has its benefits. By learning Italian you’re learning about French, Spanish and even English. They’re all connected by alphabet, vocabulary and sometimes even grammar. One of the universal benefits of becoming bilingual with any language is that you learn more about your own language more in-depth. English grammar is often not taught well but by learning a foreign grammar system we become familiar with systems and terms used in our English system.  Learning how to differentiate between objects and subjects is a universal skill that can be applied to any language. You also become more worldly when you learn another language, knowing how to speak even basic sentences in another language can be very impressive but also expands your own horizons. Speaking another language effectively unlocks another way of thinking, a completely different cultural context. 

A complex language with endless possibilities

Italy was only formed in 1861, before that the Italian country was a mixed match of various city-states, small countries and foreign powers.  As a result, there are numerous local dialects in contemporary Italy. You’ll most likely start with high Italian which is largely spoken across the board yet, once you’ve fallen in love with the language you’ll have countless options for studying Italian in its various forms. 

The language of love

Italian is one of the romance languages and is often regarded as the most beautiful of the three. It’s well known for its use in music with the most common musical term being Italian. It has a unique and identifiable rhythm that suits the music well, Why did the Austrian Mozart compose most of his pieces in Italian? Why do so many opera singers learn Italian or at least sing in Italian? If you’re a type of musician, Italian will be invaluable to you.

The cradle of western civilisation

The renaissance started in Italy and it's clear to see it had a massive impact on western culture. 60% of the world's arts’ treasures originated in Italy. You can most likely think of many famous Italian writers, artists or even inventors. Who is more recognisable than Leonardo Da Vince for example or Michelangelo? These masters created many pieces that we still admire to this day and learning the modern-day version of their language would allow you to appreciate all their work all the more. 

How would a tutor help?

Learning any language can be difficult, Italian is a phonetic language but there are many other challenges.

All of this can be daunting at first but with the help of a tutor they can provide a roadmap for you and help you every step along the way, they can help identify issues and let you know when you’re doing well. Most importantly they can adapt to your unique learning style and make sure that you learn the language well rather than haphazardly. A tutor is always recommended for any language and you can’t beat a native speaker.
