Choosing Italian school in Italy

Learning Italian language in Italy was easy and exciting if you know which school you wanna be in. Get some suggesion or ideal form friends who already study in Italy.

Once you have decided your objectives you can start your search for a language school. The first thing to do is consider your location. The tourist haunts of Rome and Florence have far more language schools than small towns buried in the Ligurian hillsides. While this means that you will have more choice about the type of school you choose, you will also be mixing with far more English speakers already who master italian language. This will more improve your speaking Italian language

Before choosing a course it is vital that prospective students speak to the school director. Some interesting questions that they may want an answer are: How many students per class? I would also ask how the classes are scheduled and the time per lesson. Also, where is the school located and what is the attitude of the locals towards foreigners. And what is the teaching philosophy of the school?. Remmember to ask about the the type of facilities available. A good school will have lots of facilities: Italian-language books and DVDs or videos that you can borrow and a computer lab where you can use the internet and special computer programs to help you improve your skills.

Living is another question to ask but if you had option I suggest you stay with a Italian family as this will forced you to speak more Italian language reguraly.

Italian language in italy a benefit for Travellers

The rich culture of Italy and its storied history could have brought about a subconscious association of anything romantic with the Italian language.

But probably the biggest reason why the Italian language has such a strong association with love is the country itself. Italy is such a romantic place that millions of honeymooners, couples and married folk go to the country to soak up the fabled romantic ambience of Italy. There are so many things that couples do in Italy that have become synonymous with romance and love – riding a gondola through Italy’s canals, wine tasting in the countryside, having coffee al fresco, and even walking through Italy’s narrow cobblestone streets.

There is a standard Italian language, which is taught in schools of all regions. The standard language was derived from Medieval Tuscan dialect. The dialects each have their own characteristics so even tourists can tell a difference when visiting more than one region. The Neapolitan dialect, for example, is often used in popular songs. This language is called Napoletano.

Travellers to Italy will benefit tremendously if they learn key Italian words and phrases before their trip. Eating at restaurants, visiting attractions or villages, and touring local sites will be much easier for the tourist who knows what to ask and how to ask in Italian! Courses to help learn Italian phrases as well as culture and traditions in various regions are available online.

Italian culture is so diversified that every region in the country has a different culture. So if you are planning to travel to Italy and would like to know the country well, you have to learn some of the italian language.
