Why learn Italian?

The Italian language

Italian is a language derived from Latin, which many people fall in love with because of its romantic sound and also because of the culture of its country of origin, Italy. 

It is also one of the easiest languages to learn for people who know other romance languages such as French or Spanish. This is because the grammar is very similar to that of other Latin languages. You probably already know some words like spaghetti or gelato, but not everything in Italian is food!

In addition to Italy, Italian is also spoken in Switzerland, Malta and even Argentina, which adds up to approximately 120 million Italian speakers worldwide. Knowing this, it is not surprising that many people want to learn Italian to travel, to increase their chances of getting a job or even for the love of the Italian language and culture. Whatever your reason, you can easily find an Italian tutor on FindTutors.

How to find an Italian tutor

If you have decided to find a private Italian tutor for Italian lessons at home, online, in a group or one-on-one, there are three steps you should follow:

How long does it take to learn to speak Italian?

The time it takes to learn Italian varies according to each person’s experience with Italian, how many Italian lessons they take a week and how similar their native language is to Italian. For example, Spanish speakers have a much easier time learning Italian than Koreans, for example.

Thus, in general, Spanish, French and Portuguese speakers can reach an advanced level after 5 months. Native speakers of languages such as German or Russian may take 6 months whereas Anglo-Saxon speakers may take 7 months. There are many exceptions, it also changes according to the time that each person dedicates per week to studying Italian.

How to learn Italian quickly

Like any new habit you want to establish, learning Italian quickly requires a lot of dedication. To do this, our first tip is to surround yourself with the language you are learning. You can change the language on your mobile phone and listen to songs in Italian, for example, which will help you increase your vocabulary.

Another way to learn Italian easily is to use applications such as Duolingo and join chat rooms to converse with native Italian speakers. The Internet has many resources for those who want to learn a new language quickly. You can also read books in Italian, if you are a beginner try children’s books or ones you have read before. Finally, don't forget to make mistakes! That's right, mistakes are part of the process and at the beginning it is completely understandable that you may not speak perfectly as you have just started. Good luck!
