Why Learn Italian
Italian is one of the most popular languages to learn in the world, and there are thousands of courses in the UK, especially in London. But why exactly do so many people choose to take the Italian courses London language schools offer, seeing as the language is only really spoken in its mother country?
Travelling and Going on Holiday in Italy
Are you somebody who loves Italy and has visited different parts of the country? Perhaps you have never been, but wish to make an extended trip in the future? It is common sense that learning the language of the place you’re visiting will make your trip run a lot smoother. Asking for directions to the closest toilet, ordering the correct meal or drink when in a restaurant, and haggling a deal on a market stall will all become so much easier.
Living in Italy
You might even be planning to go one step further and move to Italy, either for a few months or on a more permanent basis. To get by in day-to-day life, you certainly need a decent understanding of the language. You may end up making friends with locals, shopping, using the media, working in the country, writing and receiving important letters, emails and documents – it would be crazy to move to Italy indefinitely and not learn the language.
Career prospects
Learning an extra language such as Italian can greatly further your career prospects. Being able to speak Italian can be your ticket to moving to the country and finding decent work. The better you can speak the language, generally speaking, the higher up a career ladder you can work. With both English and Italian language skills, you will open up the door to opportunities in teaching, translation, business and many other sectors, in the UK and Italy.
Personal reasons
Maybe you feel the need to stimulate your brain? Perhaps your ancestors are Italian and you want to connect with that side of the family, discover long-lost relatives or construct a family tree?
Italian Culture
Whatever your passion – whether you love the neorealist films of Italian cinema, such as the Bicycle Thieves, or you’re a fan of Gothic, Roman and Classical art – learning the Italian language can greatly increase your understanding of the culture.
Exploring a new culture is among the most rewarding things you can do. And brushing up on the language of wherever you are going beforehand will allow you to get so much more out of the experience. London is home to many excellent language schools, such as St George International, offering flexible courses to suit your schedule. So wherever you are going, St Georges French courses or Italian courses could be the key you need to unlock the culture.
