What will you learn with us?
All our programmes are personalised to suit your busy schedule and your preferences. This means that you can talk to your teacher and tell them whether you want your lessons to be planned around songs, by geniuses like Andrea Bocelli or Laura Pausini, or if you would rather learn by watching great Italian movies, like Cinema Paradiso or La Vita é Bella. If you’ve never studied Italian before, you’ll get started with a Survival Course, where you’ll learn skills, vocabulary and grammar to get by and hold basic conversations with other Italian speakers.
More reasons to learn Italian
Once you’ve passed this course, or if you are already a more advanced speaker, you’ll acquire more complex grammatical structures and vocabulary while fine-tuning your pronunciation to sound as native-like as possible. Furthermore, as Italian is a linguistic sister to other Romance languages, like Spanish and Portuguese, you’ll find it easy to acquire them once you’ve mastered Italian (and you’ll also find it easier to travel to other European countries, like Portugal and Spain, and understand what the people there say). Get started today with online Italian lessons!

La differenza tra me e te- Tiziano Ferro
Tiziano Ferro is an Italian romantic singer whose most famous song is La differenza tra me e te. It talks about the differences in attitudes between two lovers. While he’s faithful and loving, she’s cold and elusive. So, this song is a great resource to learn comparative structures and conditional tenses, like “non te lo direi” (I wouldn’t tell you that) or “io verrei da te” (I would come to you). It also uses a lot of direct questions and basic expressions. Why not choose this track the next time your sing karaoke and improve your pronunciation at the same time?

Solo ieri- Eros Ramazzotti
Looking for an Italian song to take your listening skills and vocabulary to the next level? Give Solo Ieri by Eros Ramazzoti a try!

The song is great to put into practice your understanding of Italian tenses, as you’ll find verbs in the past (credevo- I believed), present (so- I know) and future tense (parleró- I will talk or inventeró- will invent).
