Questions, answered
My family spoke a dialect. Can I learn that?
Often, yes. We have tutors for Sicilian, Neapolitan, Roman and several other regional languages, and each specialty page lists who teaches it. Many heritage learners study standard Italian alongside the dialect, since that's the Italian they'll read and hear on TV.
Do I need an Italian exam for citizenship?
If you're applying through marriage or residence, yes. Italy asks for Italian at B1 level, shown with a certificate such as the CILS. Some of our tutors coach the CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam specifically, so tell your tutor your test date and they'll plan back from it.
How much do Italian lessons cost?
Each tutor sets their own rate, and the range on this page comes live from their listings. 10- and 20-hour packages lower the hourly rate, and every rate is on the tutor's profile before you book.
Is Italian hard for English speakers?
It's one of the friendlier ones. Words are spelled the way they sound, and a lot of vocabulary comes from Latin, like much of English. Verb endings and the subjunctive take longer, and regular speaking practice is what gets you through them.
Do you offer in-person Italian lessons?
Yes, in Los Angeles: see our Italian tutors in LA, several of whom teach at your home or office, or you can go to them. A few tutors in Rome, Florence and Milan also teach in person. Everywhere else, lessons are online.
