HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • You immerse yourself with easy-to-achieve goals. Learning a new language is far too big a task to tackle all at once, so we have broken it down into a series of rewarding challenges.  The aim is not to discourage people with the prospect of a large, academic course that they don’t need and will never finish. It’s practical, everyday language they will have the opportunity to use again and again.
  • Associating new words along with pictures is proven to reinforce them in your memory. Furthermore, there are opportunities to record your pronunciation and hear it repeated to judge your progression.
  • Earn points for every game you play. High scorers can go on to win bronze, silver and gold awards, which you can print out as a record of achievement.


SOFTWARE FEATURES

  • Instant Immersion includes interactive language games — feeding learners new words along with pictures to reinforce their memory. It then tests your knowledge with fun quizzes. As soon as you start playing, you start learning.
  • 10-minute sessions keep you engaged
  • Intelligent system targets your weak points
  • Recording feature helps you perfect an accent
  • Printable phrasebook for learning on the go
  • Each of the four programs in the three levels use the same interface and navigational controls to provide a consistent user experience. We do not believe in increasing the complexity of the user interface just because you are learning advanced topics.

WHY LEARN ITALIAN?

  • Italian culture has a major influence on art and cuisine across the globe.
  • Italy has more than 70 million visitors a year and is ranked as one of the top tourist destinations in the world.
  • Knowing basic Italian words and phrases before traveling to Italy or an Italian-speaking country will help you feel more at ease during your trip.
  • Italian is a top-rated romantic language and is one of the most studied foreign languages.

Visiting Italy

Italy ranks among one of the top five most-visited countries in the world with more than 70 million people per year traveling there. It’s easy to understand why when you look at the numbers: 40,000 forts and castles, 95,000 monumental churches, 5,600 museums and archaeological sites, 4,000 beautiful gardens and much more! There’s so much to see, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the romantic canals in Venice to the Vatican and ancient ruins in Rome to the place many call the world’s most beautiful city, Florence.

Cuisine varies widely across Italy, so you will want to read the menu closely as you sample traditional food across the different regions. Don’t forget to taste Toscana wine, try a sip of Limoncello along the Amalfi Coast or indulge with homemade gelato in Rome (or pretty much anywhere in Italy!). No matter where you go, Italians are happy to answer your questions or point you to their favorite café. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions or strike up a conversation. You will always be welcomed as part of the family in Italy.

Italian-speaking Countries

There are more than 70 million Italian-speaking people worldwide. Of course, it is the main language in Italy. But Italian is also one of four official languages in Switzerland, and it is spoken in parts of Slovenia, Monaco, Croatia and even France, as well as in communities in places like the United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil.

 Here are some basic Italian phrases that you will use often:

  • Quanto costa questo? (How much does it cost?)
  • Dove posso trovare il bagno? (Where is the bathroom?)
  • A dopo. (See you later.)
