Did you know that the Italian alphabet has five fewer letters than the English one? J, K, W, X and Y do not exist in this Romance language. So, if you ever come across a word using those letters, it means it has been borrowed from another language. Some examples are yen and yogurt. And speaking of borrowings, English has borrowed almost 4% of its vocabulary from Italian, as evidenced by words like city (from cittá) or durability (from durabilitá). Undoubtedly then, you will have a head start with Italian if you are an English speaker. Stop hesitating and contact us at Listen & Learn to start an Italian course. Our lessons are tailored to your every need and preference, so you can learn in a motivating, meaningful way.
Furthermore, speaking Italian in Edinburgh can also come in handy. Many companies of Italian origin have headquarters in the city, like Sykes or Livingston, and are always hiring bilingual speakers who can communicate with their partners abroad. And, considering there are more than 2,000 Italian speakers living in Edinburgh, you’ll always find someone with whom you can socialise using this foreign language. For example, the Italian Language Meetup Group in Edinburgh gathers language learners and native speakers living in the city who want to practise with each other.
So, if you want to learn fast and efficiently, get started with an Italian course with Listen & Learn. Our native-speaking instructors will guide you to fluency in a short time and will make sure you always pronounce double consonants correctly!

Italian lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Italian to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in the import/export business, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Even our most basic lesson for beginners will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Italian, as well as survival Italian should a short stay in the country is needed.
