The language we now call Italian derives from 13th-century Tuscan (also called Florentine). This specific variety of the many regional dialects was chosen due to the economic and cultural prestige of Florence at the time and because the first-ever grammatical manual of the language was based on Florentine; Having the rules written down meant it was easier to adopt Florentine as the national tongue.
Some of these grammar rules concern Italian nouns and how they should agree with the verb in gender and number, which is quite different to the gender-neutral English. Does this sound complex? Don’t worry, with the help of our native-speaking instructors, soon you’ll be mastering Italian grammar and traveling to Italy to practice with native speakers. Contact us at Listen & Learn and we will prepare a personalized course that suits your current skills and level.
But learning Italian will not only come in handy when traveling to Italy. San Francisco hosts a huge community of more than 60,000 Italian-speaking residents, and proof of Italian heritage is everywhere. Just take a stroll around the city (especially “Little Italy”) and you will find Italian cafés and restaurants, shops and even signs written in this foreign language! Also, you’ll discover plenty of opportunities to socialize with other students or native speakers, such as by going along to the weekly meetings of one of the many language exchange groups, like the San Francisco Italian Language Meetup.
So, what are you waiting for? Join this worldwide community of Italian speakers and start enjoying the benefits of knowing this beautiful and popular language. Reach out to us today and our instructors will start preparing lessons suitable for your schedule and needs. Soon, you’ll be able to watch classic opera like “La Traviata” and understand everything the actors are saying!
These Italian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Italian by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Italian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Italian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Italian exam.

Those who would benefit the most from these Italian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Italian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as survival Italian should a visit to the country be necessary.
