Have you ever consider Italian as a beautiful language to learn? English and other languages are distinctive in their own features, but in this article you will ascertain the exquisite image of Italian language.
With a number of more than 60 thousand million speakers, Italian brought the prestige of becoming one of the learned languages worldwide. This language is primarily spoken in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, Slovenia, Malta, and Croatia as a national language and the official language of European Union as well. Even countries like Brazil, Argentina, France, Switzerland, Australia, UK, and Egypt are infiltrated by Italian.
This Romance language is the closest tongue to Latin especially with its vocabulary. Compared to other Romance languages, French only has 89%, Catalan with 87%, Spanish with 78%, and Sardinian is 82% in terms of Lexical similarity. Furthermore, the grammar of Italian is very much simpler than its mother tongue itself.
Learning Italian may be as cliché as learning other common language, but there is much more than learning the language itself. If you aim for an employment, education, or just a simple vacation in one of the Italian’s territory, you will discover that Italy, the country that speaks Italian natively is one of the top five economies worldwide, which a wide array of employers are seeking for bilingual employees. In fact, an approximate number of 7,500 American companies and more than a thousand U.S. firms are established in Italy alone. How’s that for an employment opportunity? This is going to be your chance if you’re an Italian speaker yourself.
Do you know that your knowledge towards other Romance language is an advantage to you when you want to learn Italian? Robertson Kunz stated in his article Speak and Understand Italian that “the grammar between Italian and other Romance languages like Spanish and very similar and almost the same in many cases. If you studied a Romance language even in high school, you will find many similarities to help you.” Besides, “English speakers worldwide think of Italian as a very beautiful language,” Kunz added. Do you agree with it? I do.
So if you are dearly interested to learn Italian, remember this: you should make a commitment to learning the language everyday and continue to apply effort to your studies for as long as it may take to reach your goals, even years if you are aiming for fluency, another account by Robertson Kunz. Therefore, make your learning outstanding and value Italian’s beauty at its best.
