Can you guess the meaning of concerto, poeta, problema, melodia or futuro? Easy, right? In fact, so many English and Italian words share similar roots that we bet you can understand more Italian already than you ever thought possible! So, why not take it to the next level and join the growing international community of Italian speakers? Get started with us at Listen & Learn: our teachers are language professionals with extensive experience guiding students to fluency.
For instance, we can help you grasp the meaning and use of articles in Italian. Unlike English which only uses one article, Italian uses six to indicate number and gender. And you will learn many other useful grammar rules in your lessons with us, like that adjectives always come after the noun and never before. Does it sound boring? Don’t worry, our lessons are not focused on learning only language rules or memorising long lists of words. Instead, our native-speaking instructors will prepare interactive, fun lessons where you will learn by becoming familiar with interesting resources, like songs, movies and series.
Learn Italian and you’ll be able to interact with the almost 1,500 speakers who already reside in Reading on a whole new level. Furthermore, practising with other learners and native speakers will take your skills and confidence to the next level. So, don’t hesitate to join language exchange groups around the city, like the Reading Italian Meetup that organises meetings every week.
Are you ready to get started? Contact us at Listen & Learn and you will acquire not only the formal aspects of Italian but also non-verbal skills, such as gestures that are essential to communicate with others. Soon, you’ll be ready to order delicious Italian dishes, like gnocci or bresaola, using the excellent pronunciation skills you learn with us!
These Italian lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students who have a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Italian—required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population—students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Italian-culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Italian examination.

These lessons in Italian are meant for those who feel that learning Italian would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefited have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even in our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communicating, as well as survival Italian if a short visit to the country is needed.

Lessons in Italian are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Italian Lessons or Small Group In-Company Italian Lessons). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs for areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn does not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Italian sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.

My Listen & Learn tutor, Yann, made a huge effort to help me understand how the grammar works, and how to say things properly – these aren’t things you can learn from a book
