02 Jun 10 ways to learn Italian
Do you dream of having fluent conversations in Italy? You love Italian culture and cuisine and you finally want to fulfill that dream of learning Italian, but worry that you don’t have the time? We completely understand, because our adult students are busy people – but they possess strong motivation.
We have 10 proven ways for you to weave Italian into your schedule. See how our school, AL DENTE, supports you every step of the way!
1. Micro-sessions throughout the day
You don’t need to set aside a whole hour—why not make use of 15-minute windows instead? In the morning over coffee, standing in line, or riding the tram. At the AL DENTE school, we make this easy by providing vocabulary sets in the Quizlet app. You always have them right at your fingertips.
2. Plan one fixed hour for a lesson
Our classes take place once a week online. This is your “sacred time” for Italian that you need to reserve. A maximum of 6 people per group guarantees that the lesson is interesting and engaging.
3. Listen to Italian in the background
Cooking? Cleaning? Driving? Listen to Italian music, podcasts, or the news. Even if you don’t understand everything, you are getting used to the melody of the language.
4. Find a “study buddy”
Arrange a short, weekly chat in Italian with someone from your group. Our small, intimate groups make it easy to build relationships. This offers extra, casual Italian practice, and besides, it’s a great opportunity to meet people who share your passion.
5. Use tests to your advantage
In every class at AL DENTE, you have a mini-test. This keeps you motivated! You always know that even if you are completely short on time, you need to review the material. You’ll see that you will manage to find the time after all!
6. Review vocabulary before bed
10 minutes before falling asleep is the perfect time for reinforcement. Use our Quizlet sets.
7. Learn through your passions
Love art? Watch a short documentary about an Italian painter. If you’re passionate about cuisine, read an Italian recipe. Remember that at AL DENTE, we focus on communication in travel situations (bars, restaurants), which is immediately useful!
8. Set small, realistic goals
Don’t worry about the advanced level just yet. Focus on a small step—like learning the vocabulary from the chapter you are currently covering in the textbook. Focus on small steps, and progress will come faster than you think.
9. Take notes in Italian
Instead of writing in your native language, write down your shopping list, short daily plans, or tasks in Italian. This is a quick way to use the language practically.
10. Trust our instructors
Our teachers are experienced native speakers, and additionally, each of them is certified to teach Italian. You speak Italian from the very first lesson. This guarantees fast progress and effective learning, so take the leap and trust us!
The AL DENTE school is the place for you if you want to learn to speak Italian. We are specialists in working with busy adults. We offer interesting and engaging classes that make learning Italian a pleasure and the fulfillment of your passion – because we know you don’t need another chore, but rather some time for yourself.
