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!
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 Italian Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Italian to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette; at higher levels, reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even in our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic telephone Italian and Italian e-mail skills for communication as well as survival Italian required for short visits to a country.

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
