Why Italian?
Four reasons to take Italian classes
La dolce vita
Italy is the most visited country in Europe. Order in Italian and the whole trip changes.
Opera & arts
We have taught Italian for the LA Opera Young Artist Program for over a decade. Opera, art, music — Italian is the language.
Heritage & family
Connect with Italian roots, understand the stories your nonna tells, read family documents.
Food & wine
LA is a food city and Italian is the prestige culinary language. Our students work in restaurants, wineries, and food media.
Since 2006
Italian in Los Angeles
Strommen has been matching students with private Italian tutors in Los Angeles since 2006. We run private lessons and group classes for all levels, including beginner Italian, Italian conversation workshops, traveler Italian, and Italian for opera. Our founder grew up in Rome, attended international school there for eight years, and speaks Italian fluently. That heritage runs through everything we do with Italian at Strommen.
LA has a deep Italian cultural presence. From the restaurants and wine bars of Silver Lake and Los Feliz to the Italian film festivals and cultural institutes, Italian is alive in this city. Many of our students are preparing for trips to Italy, connecting with Italian heritage, working in fashion or food, or studying opera. We have provided Italian language instruction for the LA Opera Young Artist Program for over a decade.
Our Italian dialect coaches have worked on major productions including Your Honor Season 2 for Showtime. When Slate ranked Italian accents in House of Gucci, they consulted Strommen, and that article went viral on NBC News, Uproxx, and The Blast. That same precision carries into private lessons. We match you with a native speaker from Rome, Milan, Florence, or wherever your family is from, depending on the dialect or register you actually need.
“I took Italian for a year before my wedding in Tuscany. By the time we got there I was chatting with the vendors, the florist, everyone. It made the whole experience so much richer.”S.H. — Italian student, travel
