Italian Lessons in Dallas

Italian is not only the official language of Italy but also of San Marino and Switzerland, and is spoken by more than 70 million people worldwide. As an English speaker, you will find that Italian is actually not that difficult to learn. First, because they share the same alphabet, and the spelling systems and sentence word order are fairly similar, unlike in many other languages. But watch out, because not everything is the same. For example, adjectives nearly always go after the noun, instead of before. But don’t worry, our native-speaking instructors will point out such nuances of the language and help you become a proficient speaker, all while keeping lessons engaging and fun. At Listen & Learn, we plan interactive lessons suitable to your objectives and needs.

So, if you prefer, you can learn Italian by watching and discussing TV series or movies. Or maybe you are an Italian music lover and would like to understand the music of Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini, or Luciano Pavarotti? No matter your preferences, we can help you acquire Italian in a short time and with a program completely tailored to your learning objectives and preferences.

And, if you feel you need more practice outside of class or simply want to socialize with others using your new Italian skills, you’ll find many opportunities to do so in Dallas. With more than 5,000 Italian speakers living in the city, you’ll be able to meet both students and native-speakers with whom you can put your knowledge to the test, such as by joining the get-togethers of the Speak Italian in Dallas Meetup.

Are you ready to get started? Reach out to us at Listen & Learn and let us start creating your personalized course today. Our professional tutors will even give you pronunciation tips, so you’ll soon be able to roll your Rs like an Italian native speaker!

Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.

Con te partirò - Andrea Bocelli

This is a timeless love song performed by one of the most famous Italian singers of all time, Andrea Bocelli. In this piece, the artist dreams of traveling to new places with his lover, so it’s a great opportunity to learn vocabulary related to love and companionship. Also, Bocelli has great diction and enunciates the words clearly, making it a good song for beginners to start training their ears. Some expressions you’ll be learning are “con te” (with you), “su navi per mari” (on ships overseas), “tu mia Luna” (my moon), and more! Listen to this amazing song by Andrea Bocelli!

Almeno tu nell’universo- Mia Martini

Mia Martini is one of the most well-known famous singers in Italy who often sings about heartbreak and disappointment. That is the case of Almeno tu nell’universo, where the poetic protagonist sings about loving a strange man, unique in this world, but who doesn’t pay any attention to her. The song is almost entirely sung in the conditional tense, so it’s great practice for intermediate or even advanced students looking to expand their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. There is heavy use of adverbs, for example, like davvero (really) or per sempre (forever). Enjoy her song here!

L’emozione non ha voce - Adriano Celentano

This song follows a man who’s confessing his love for a married woman, knowing she will never love him back. Still, he claims that his love will last for life. As the song is slow and Adriano Celentano pronounces each word very clearly, beginner students will find it easy to start training their listening comprehension while picking up some new words, such as “amico” (friend), vita (life), dormir (sleep), and more! The song also uses the future tense a lot, so it’s great if you’re looking to practice that particular grammatical feature while listening to great music. Click here to listen to this hit!
