Not convinced yet? Italian is spoken as a native language by 65 million people in the EU alone (13% of the EU population), mainly in Italy, and as a second language by 14 million (3%), including the Italian speakers in non-EU European countries (such as Switzerland and Albania). If you add up the immigrant communities in other continents, the total number of speakers is more than 85 million.
Why then people study Italian? For those who fancy working in fashion, becoming an opera singer or discover the secrets of restoration and crafting, learning Italian is a serious business. However, most of the time, Italian is studied for pure pleasure. Its undeniable musicality, its influence on shaping Art’s history, its strong bonds with the great food and wines culture Italy is famous for make it, mamma mia, the perfect language to start your discovery journey into the European Continent!
