Italian Facts

Italian is prevalent in Latin America: the Italian language is spoken abundantly in Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico and Argentina

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"

During the Renaissance, Italy was considered the artistic centre of the world for educated European gentlemen, who would be expected to make the 'Grand Tour'

Leeds

A major city in West Yorkshire, Leeds is located on the River Aire and has a population of around 450,000. The third largest city in the UK, Leeds was an agricultural market town during the Middle Ages, growing to a merchant town mainly involved in textiles by the Tudor period. The industrial revolution led to an even more pronounced growth, until Leeds was responsible for making machinery for spinning, machine tools, and steam engines as well as other industries based on coal, textiles, chemicals, leather and pottery. Today Leeds is the largest financial centre outside London, with prevalent railway links to the rest of the country, and a quarter of the workforce are involved in financial and business services.

 

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."
