English-speakers will find Italian a beautiful
language to listen to and an easy one to start
speaking. The expressive rhythm and melody of the
language, which has lent itself to the epic poetry of
Dante and the grand operas of Verdi, has fascinated
visitors for centuries. When even a simple sentence
can sound like an aria you’ll find it difficult to resist
striking up a conversation.
