Italian Study Abroad Programs
Improved memory, a longer attention span, and cross cultural friendships are just some of the benefits of learning a new language, especially Italian, which is one of the most romantic dialects in the world. Whether you strive to appreciate the richness of Italian theatre, literature, opera, or even just understand an Italian menu, knowledge of Italian is essential. Wandering amongst charming cobblestoned streets, people watching from the top of the Spanish Steps, or checking off every type of pizza and pasta on your foodie list is just that much easier with a handful of Italian words up your sleeve.

A Guide to Studying Italian Abroad
Why Study Italian Abroad
Learning Italian will come in handy on a regular basis when you’re traveling as it will help you communicate with locals who only speak Italian smoothly and successfully. Plus, if you’re ever trying to make moves on a certain someone (wink, wink), saying, “Vuoi andare ad un appuntamento?” sounds much more romantic than, “Do you want to go on a date?” #datingadvice101
As you first start to study Italian abroad, the difficulty will give you the determination you need to really push yourself to learn and practice; imagine how impressed your date would be if you ordered your dinner in Italian? By studying Italian abroad, you will be more familiarized with the structure of the language, the pronunciation, and the intonation in real life situations. Not to mention practicing and listening to Italian in your daily life will increase the speed of your learning and keep you motivated to improve.
When studying Italian abroad, you won’t just be learning Italian; you’ll be learning about the charming Italian culture, in all its forms. Trying bruschetta or pear pasta for the first time, meeting locals in Piazza Trilussa, and learning about the gory history of the Colosseum, will introduce you to the peculiar social customs dell’Italia.
There's no better way to truly begin to learn la bella lingua, than by getting to know the people who have grown up speaking Italian. By meeting Italian speakers and making connections, you may even start to pick up their habits and way of life. Learning Italian abroad will definitely make your experience of study abroad more enjoyable and fulfilling, not to mention the non-verbal communication you’ll learn along the way; Italians tend to use a creative collection of hand gestures while speaking. Bellissimo!
