Are you interested in reading great works of literature in their original language? Even in the best translations, some of the original ideas can be lost due to words not meaning exactly the same thing or puns not working in another language. So, learning Italian will unlock the ability for you to access beautiful literary works as they were meant to be experienced, like Dante’s Divina Commedia or Italo Calvino’s Le città invisibili (Invisible Cities). Contact us today and our native-speaking instructors will prepare a personalised course for you to learn Italian through literature, songs, movies, TV series or any other media product you enjoy! And did you know, if you are an English speaker, you have an advantage learning Italian? Approximately 30% of words in English are of Latin origin. This means that many words, like latte, soprano, influenza or cameo, will sound familiar to you, even if you have never studied Italian before.
Furthermore, knowing Italian is especially useful in Sydney as more than 200,000 people claim Italian ancestry and speak the language at home. This means there are countless opportunities to put your skills into practice with other Italian language learners and native speakers. For example, why not attend one of the many language exchange clubs, like Italian Connection Meetup, and have a great time while getting to know like-minded people?
Plus, there are many festivals, shows and events that celebrate Italian heritage in Sydney, and you can enhance the experience of attending them with knowledge of Italian! Contact us at Listen & Learn today and soon you’ll be ordering gnocci, bruscetta and focaccia with your flawless Italian pronunciation at one of the many themed restaurants in Sydney!
These Italian lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students who have a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Italian—required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population—students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Italian-culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Italian examination.

These Italian Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Italian to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette; at higher levels, reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even in our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic telephone Italian and Italian e-mail skills for communication as well as survival Italian required for short visits to a country.
