Learn Italian in Italy
You can combine your love of the Italian language with an
unforgettable experience in the country where the language is
spoken by studying Italian in Italy! Hands-down, the best way to
learn a foreign language is to live, work, or study in a native
speaking environment. Studying Italian in Italy is the best
possible experience you can have to learn the language.
Would you like to study and live in Florence, Rome or Venice?
Or how about in a smaller, quaint town such as Pisa, Siena or
Otranto? You will find a comprehensive guide to top rate Italian
language schools in Italy at www.studyabroaditaly.org. Wherever
you decide to study and live, the experience is incomparable to
learning Italian in any other way.
When living in a foreign country you have the wonderful
opportunity to both learn the local language and also use it
every day, all day long. Living in Italy is much different than
visiting as a tourist. Tourists can easily manage getting around
by knowing a few Italian phrases and by using English. In fact,
tourists frequently will have trouble trying to use or improve
their Italian language skills because Italians in most tourist
locations can speak English very well and are eager to do so. On
the other hand, as a resident of Italy, you would have NO trouble
trying to use or improve your Italian language skills because you
would be continuously interacting with the native population at
the supermarket, the post office, the bus stop, the small "bar"
where you get your morning cappuccino, and other places that
tourists don't usually visit.
If you open yourself to learning the language as well as
experiencing the culture, you will be amazed with the progress
you make from day to day. There is a big difference between
learning Italian in Italy and learning it in your home country.
While in Italy, you will only hear the Italian language spoken
around you. This will encourage you to master the language
quickly, because instinctively you will not want to miss out on
the conversations taking place around you. You may also want to
consider the fact that even though most Italians will manage to
make themselves understood in English, they will have a hard time
sharing deeper thoughts and feelings in any other language than
Italian. Other positive aspects of learning Italian in Italy
include developing a good Italian accent (eliminating the
somtimes artificial sound of Italian learned in your home
country), and getting faster access to regional slang and humor.
The latter is particularly important when you become friends with
Italian locals, as you will have a better chance of integrating
in a group if you understand the subtle nuances of the
language.
Finally, the greatest advantage to learning Italian in Italy
is the opportunity you will have to make new friends that will
certainly last you a lifetime. By learning Italian in Italy you
will enjoy a unique life experiene in a place that is much
different than anywhere else, and is one of the most beautiful
places you will ever see. Buon divertimento!

skills.
