Italian language
The Italian language is a beautiful language. You'll agree with us even if you don't speak Italian. All those vowels and the consonant, that quick tongue, it sounds like music to your ears. And of course you get an instant holiday feeling. However, the Italian language becomes even more beautiful if you can understand and speak it yourself (a little). Surely you also want to learn Italian?
Based on valuable articles in this category, we would like to take you on a trip to Italy and its language. We help you on your way with beautiful – and yes, some ugly – words and we show you how others have learned Italian. Some of the articles are written by certified Italian teachers. Or by Dutch or Flemish people who have lived in Italy for a long time.
Bet you get so excited that you want to learn Italian yourself? Then start with our challenging course This is Italian, which guides you to speaking and writing at A1 level.
