Language Learning

Italian is a Romance language spoken mainly in Italy, and it is ranked 27th among the languages by number of speakers in the world.

When first looking for a language school, choosing a native teacher is essential, so check with your school of choice if their teachers are Italian before committing to one. Look also for a school that is properly accredited: language schools should be certified by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR).
