Why learn Italian?

Italian is spoken by an estimated 70 million people worldwide. It is also the official language of Italy and San Marino, as well as Vatican City, which is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Italy is a major tourist attraction, making Italian a great language to learn for any travel enthusiasts.

One of the Romance languages, Italian is a major language in Europe. When learning Italian, understanding the cultural implications of the language can be just as important as understanding the language itself. With the Berlitz Italian classes, you will learn these cultural aspects of using the language. These cultural lessons will allow you to use your Italian skills confidently with native speakers in business or social situations.

Berlitz Italian classes incorporate the Berlitz Method into every lesson. The Berlitz Method, which is based on immersive language learning, has been proven to be the fastest, most efficient way to learn Italian. Using this method, you will only speak Italian during your classes, which will be conducted by a Berlitz-certified native-fluent instructor.

These techniques are employed in every Berlitz Italian class. You will have the option to choose from both group and private Italian classes based on your timeline, budget and preferences, but you will enjoy the same language-learning methods regardless of the class type you choose.

You know your language goals. We know how to help you achieve them.
