Why Study Italian?

There are estimated to be around 65-80 million Italian speakers globablly. Knowledge of Italian is a useful skill for people interested in Italian business, hospitality, travel, art history, history, painting, music, sculpture, literature, food, film, fashion, and more. Learning a second language is a crucial skill to develop intercultural abilities that will help you navigate the globalized world.
