Learning the Italian alphabet

The Italian alphabet (l'alfabeto) contains 21 letters:

Musei Capitolini, Rome 

Letters / Names of the letters
a  a
b  bi
c  ci
d  di
e  e
f  effe
g  gi
h  acca
i  i
l  elle
m  emme
n  enne
o  o
p  pi
q  cu
r  erre
s  esse
t  ti
u  u
v  vu
z  zeta

The following five letters are found in foreign words:

Letters / Names of the letters
j  i lungo
k  kappa
w  doppia vu
x  ics
y  ipsilon


Learning the Basics

If you're pressed for time, focus on the fundamentals. Study the Italian ABC's and Italian numbers, learn how to pronounce Italian words and try to ask questions in Italian

However, the quickest and most effective way to learn Italian is the total immersion method. So, I would suggest to follow one of my courses and then travel to Italy with me.

Isn't this a good idea?

Why should you learn Italian?



You’re planning a trip to Italy...and you think you can go without knowing the language ..... it will be fun but a bit harder....
You’re married to an Italian or someone with an Italian background...like my husband...you need to learn the language... 
Palazzo Colonna, Rome 
You have an Italian background yourself ....well you want to go to Italy...learn the language!!!!
You know that learning Italian unlocks the door to Italy's cultural "ricchezze": the food, the fashion, the movies, the music, the art.... 
Praiano, South of Italy

You work or do business in Italy or with Italians...you need a mental challenge...
....and then make new friends!!!

NO MUCH TIME....Be quick and get in touch!

Italian classes, tours and much more....

The benefits of being bilingual.....so learn Italian!!!!


Some reasons why children should be bilingual....



Young Italian student 
  • Has a positive effect on intellectual growth.
  • Enriches and enhances a child's mental development. Languages can be seen as a 'useful support' for other curriculum areas (for example: for improved cognitive flexibility, for supporting and enhancing literacy in English and other academic areas.
  • Leave students with more flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening.
  • Improves a child's understanding for hi/her native language.
  • Gives a child the ability to communicate with people he/she would otherwise not have the chance to know.
  • Opens the door to other cultures and helps a child to understand and appreciate people from other countries.
  • Gives a student a head start in language requirements for high school/university.
  • Increases job opportunities in many career where knowing another language is a real asset.

Going to Italy? HAVE A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE........


Once the German novelist Hermann Hesse once wrote:

“Tourists travel where they are sure to find thousands of other tourists, where they find the same overcrowded places, the same café, the same music, the same throng, the same mass of people, the same press, the same lack of room and light (..)They behave this way, because according to the current fashion it is right to behave such a way. (..) and they all go there, where all the others go.”

DO YOU BELIEVE IS THIS TRUE?

Well... NOOOO!!!! Not everyone likes to be mixed with the crowd! There are people who love to go to Italy and have a UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. Like me they love to travel, HAVE FUN, see beautiful places and enjoy their experience!
