Learn Italian your way with a TakeLessons expert

About 63 million people speak Italian in the world, and it’s the official language of four countries: Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, and Vatican City. Though only officially spoken in a few places, you’ll hear the musical sounds of this beautiful language all over the world, thanks to the widespread love of Italian culture.

From beautiful operas, plays, and literature to delectable gelato flavors and some of the most heart-warming cuisine ever cooked, Italy is arguably the most romantic of the romance languages to study.

Benefits of Taking Italian Classes in Atlanta

When you decide to learn Italian in Atlanta, you'll get to see a whole new side of the city. For starters, you can authentically experience the tastes of Italy at one of Atlanta's many Italian restaurants and delis.

Grab a slice at Amalfi Pizza or make reservations for a traditional Italian meal at BoccaLupo. After a couple of Italian lessons, you might impress yourself (or possibly, a date) with how perfectly you pronounce your order. If you don't feel like sitting down, stop by E. 48th Street Market for an Italian deli experience that'll knock your calzini (socks) off.

Atlanta is also home to a chapter of the Società Dante Alighieri, an organization dedicated to preserving Italian language and culture. They host multiple events such as lectures, films, musical performances, and more, all celebrating Italy.

Making the Most of Italian Language Classes in Atlanta

Before your Italian language classes in Atlanta begin, you'll want to be sure you have all the supplies you need to take notes and stay organized. Stop by Archer Paper in The Battery Atlanta, where you can pick up fresh notebooks, flashcards, pens, highlighters, and sticky notes to keep on top of your new language skills.

Then, drop by the nearest branch of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System. Browse the foreign books section and, for inspiration and practice, select a couple of Italian titles that catch your eye. Be sure to check out an English-Italian dictionary, too.

There's no better way to learn a language and get comfortable speaking it than to immerse yourself in it. Not everyone can pick up and travel to Italy at the drop of a hat, but there are ways to practice without leaving Atlanta.

Once you have a couple lessons under your belt, join one of the city's several Meetup groups that get together simply to speak Italian, make new friends, and have a good time. With hundreds of members, you're sure to find an interesting conversation when joining Meetups like Conversazione Italiana in Atlanta or The Italian Outside the Perimeter group.
