Did you know that Italian is the fifth-most studied language in the USA? This is due to the massive Italian migration to the States that took place in the 19th century. Today, the number of Italian speakers in the country is huge, with more than 300,000 of them living in New York alone. Want to become part of this exciting community? Contact us at Listen & Learn and we will prepare a personalized course for you to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible.
While Italian and English are very different languages (in fact, they do not even belong to the same branch: English is Germanic while Italian is a Romance language), you will find some aspects of Italian are not difficult for English speakers to learn. For example, Italian is a phonetic language, meaning that its words are written how they are pronounced. Thus, writing and speaking skills are closely linked. So, why not join one of the many language exchange groups available in New York, like Italian Chat or New York Italians, and put into practice what you learn in your Listen & Learn classes? Not only will you build your confidence and develop your speaking skills, but your reading and writing ability as well.
But watch out! Some words may look similar to their English counterparts but they do not mean the same. For example, you might think that bene educato means well educated, but in fact, it means polite. Still, don’t worry: you’ll learn all these details and nuances of the Italian language in your lessons with one of Listen & Learn’s qualified and experienced teachers.
Our instructors are professional native speakers who will teach you everything you need to know to communicate with other Italian speakers, from idioms and false cognates to gestures and tones. Contact us today and soon you’ll be able to travel to Italy and order food and drinks using your flawless Italian pronunciation!
Italian lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.

These Italian lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Italian to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
