Italian Language

Why learn Italian

• Communication: business and everyday interactions in Italy run more smoothly in Italian — in any realm of business, it pays to know the client’s language.
• Study: Italian-taught programmes require it, and even on English-taught courses it makes paperwork, daily life and part-time work (where rules allow) far easier.
• Work: Italian is valued in design, fashion, food, machinery and trade, and useful in diplomacy, research and translation work.
• Research and culture: source translations are not always available or reliable, and Italian opens literature, opera, film and art in the original.
• Personal: learning a language builds confidence, analytical skill and new avenues for growth — the practical payoff sits alongside the enjoyment.

What the course covers

• Introduction to the language and its history
• Alphabet, sounds and pronunciation
• Numbers, days, months and greetings
• Nouns, gender, pronouns and articles (definite and indefinite)
• Prepositions, propositional contractions and question forms
• Adjectives and adverbs
• Present, past and future tenses, with verb conjugation and everyday verbs
• Frequent vocabulary plus workbook practice units

How lessons run

Sessions combine grammar explanation with conversation and workbook practice, moving topic by topic from the alphabet through to full tenses. Lessons run in small batches or one-to-one, and we confirm the batch schedule and teaching faculty — including native-speaker guidance — at enrolment.

Where Italian helps beyond the course

Italy has strong international industries in fashion and interior design, food and drink, machinery, robotics, shipbuilding and transport equipment, and employers in these sectors value candidates who speak both Italian and English. The language also helps in government, diplomacy, trade and academic research, where translations are not always available.
