Why learn Italian?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Business Travel & Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italy has the 9th highest GDP in the world. Speaking Italian will definitely facilitate business, travel and communication in Italy.<\/p>\n

More Perspective on Arts & Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italy is rich in arts and culture based on the Italian language and they\u2019re often not translated. From literature to cinema, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy them all, like an Italian.<\/p>\n

Family<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have Italian family or Italian ancestry, learning Italian will complete and complement your heritage.<\/p>\n

Become a Better Learner<\/strong><\/p>\n

By learning another language you expand your cultural reach and the social interactions you can have.<\/p>\n

Increase your Job Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italian companies are always looking for new employees that can speak Italian and another language. Likewise, South African firms wanting to export to Italy, or do business with Italy, are looking for professionals that can speak Italian.<\/p>\n

Speak With More People<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 77,000 people speak Italian in South Africa. If you enjoy the many social and cultural events organised in South Africa by the Italian institutions, you\u2019ll find that speaking Italian is not only useful but you will enjoy those events even more and meet new people.<\/p>\n
