When you learn to speak Italian you have a ticket into a rich world of culture, history, and beauty. Whether you're drawn to Italian opera, the cuisine of Italy, or the art and architecture of Rome, studying Italian connects you with this unique heritage. Italian traditions trace to poets like Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, and its influence is seen in opera, fashion, and food. 

Mastering Italian gives you a connection with its warm-hearted people and a passport to a world of art, history, and culinary delights. Italian is a Romance language descended from Latin that is known for its elegance, musicality, and expressive nature. Around 70 million people worldwide speak Italian, primarily in Italy but also in Switzerland. 

Why You Should Learn Italian in NYC

NYC has long been home to Italian people and culture. Between 1900 and 1914, almost two million Italians emigrated to America and most arrived in New York. By 1930 NYC was home to over a million Italian Americans – 17 percent of the city's population. There are now nearly 300,000 Italian speakers in NYC.

This is reflected in the number of clubs and organizations which reflect the thriving Italian culture, art, or business in NYC. New York Italians is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the culture and heritage of Italy and its people through outstanding cultural events and culinary programs, language classes, educational lectures, and charities.

The Italian Cultural Institute of New York is an official branch of the Italian government. It was founded in 1961 to promote Italian culture in the United States by organizing exhibitions and events and offering cultural services ranging from arts to humanities and science. Get a taste of art at The Center for Modern Italian Art, explore Italian Judaism at Centro Primo Levi, or build business connections in Italy through the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce

When you speak Italian, it gives you a competitive edge in international business, diplomacy, tourism, and other industries. Italian opens doors to new friendships, cultural experiences, and opportunities for travel, work, and study abroad. Learning a second language gives your brain a boost, improving your memory, problem-solving, and multitasking skills. It enhances your creativity and may even delay age-related cognitive decline. You’ll feel a sense of mastery when you utter your first full sentence in Italian.
