Why learn Italian?

Learning Italian offers enriched cultural experiences and economic opportunities in sectors like fashion, automotive, and food industries. Italy is a founding EU member with a diverse and rich heritage, making the language valuable for history, art, and culinary enthusiasts. For basic fluency, English speakers need about 1,500-2,000 vocabulary words and can expect to invest 600-750 hours for general proficiency. Italian grammar essentials include the use of articles ('il', 'la'), understanding gender (masculine, feminine), and mastering verb conjugations across various tenses like presente and passato prossimo. Though challenging, these grammatical intricacies enable precise, expressive communication in both professional and social settings.
