How can I learn Italian?
Lingoda is a good place to start if you’d like to learn Italian. There are two main methods to learning any language: a) working with a teacher in a group or individual class or b) self-study, using books, online resources and apps. No matter which path you choose to learn Italian, practising is important. the more time you invest, the quicker you will learn. Learning a language has four main elements: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In order to learn a language well or to become fluent, it’s a good idea to cover all of those four elements.
Working with a teacher provides a structure for language learning and a step-by-step process. This is particularly useful as a beginner learner, as your teacher will be able to guide you based on your language level and learning style. With individual feedback, you also avoid mistakes and progress more quickly.
For self-study, there is a wealth of knowledge online about how to learn Italian and what resources to use. Many language apps help you practice vocabulary and reading.
With Lingoda, you have access to an entire section of self-learning tools, like quizzes, flashcards and exercises to keep learning outside of class.
Is Italian an easy language to learn?
Everybody learns differently! There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to learning Italian; it depends on the time you invest. Italian is a romance language derived from Latin. English speakers sometimes find Italian tricky as the grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary are not as similar. However, this has not stopped millions of English speakers from learning Italian! It’s all about studying consistently and getting as much speaking practice as you can.
With Lingoda’s structured curriculum, you always have a guide to follow and to progress your skills.
