Italian Facts

Out of all Romance languages, Italian is considered to be the one most closely resembling Latin in terms of vocabulary

Italian is written using the Roman alphabet, but the letters J, K, W, X and Y are not part of the standard Italian alphabet, appearing only in loan words

Italian has always had a different, distinctive dialect for each Italian city, though a well-known Italian turn of phrase describes it as "the Tuscan tongue in a Roman mouth"

Italian 1 to 1 General

Italian courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.

Crawley

A town in West Sussex with a population of just under 100,000, Crawley is an historic unparished borough. The town grew beyond expectations with the advent of the railway in the mid 19th century, its position between London and on the turnpike to the holiday resort of Brighton bringing it untold development. Recent development owes much to the nearby London Gatwick Airport - the busiest single-runway airport in the world. Crawley also offers modern shopping facilities and leisure centres, as well as historic churches and libraries.

 

Italian Testimonials

"This is just a quick note to say thank you for arranging our Italian classes. We really enjoyed them and we liked Maria very much. We are interested in having some more lessons, perhaps once a week now. We'd like them to focus on conversation so that we can practise what we've learned so far."
