Tips on learning Italian - one of the most beautiful languages in the world
LikeLearning Italian is very common nowadays, especially if you need to use the language professionally, want to learn it for personal reasons, or simply to have for when you travel to Italy to experience la dolce vita. It is important that those learning the language try to practise on a daily basis. This is where private Italian tutors can often help.
Tips for learning Italian
- In order to learn Italian in a more efficient way, it´s essential that you first master the basic grammar in order to enrich phrases and nouns.
- The second step is to learn the vocabulary and commonly-used phrases so that you can ensure you´re learning how to speak in the real "Italiano".
- Italians very often use signals and hand gestures when they speak, make conversation, and even at their job. This is their nature and it´s a habit that can never be eradicated. Speaking with hand gestures in Italy is very important in different situations from within your job, in day-to-day interactions and within relationships. This habit differs slightly from the north to the south of Italy.
Cultural differences between the north and south of Italy
In the north of Italy there are many cities, like Milan, that are viewed as hubs for business and professional growth. Like many similar cities in the world, people living there may have adopted more of a professional, business-focused mindset, but they still use hand signals when communicating, especially amongst their friends and colleagues.
When we reach Rome and the further south we go, people start to become different culturally and their values differ. They are more attached to family values, are more welcoming, and they enjoy long, leisurely lunches and dinners with the aim of socialising and spending time in the company of others.
