It’s known for its humor and warmth, often heard in Roman cinema and local conversations.
Is Romano different from standard Italian?
Yes, Romano differs from standard Italian in several ways. It features distinct phonetic shifts, colloquial expressions, and vocabulary that aren’t commonly used elsewhere in Italy. While a speaker of standard Italian can often understand Romano, fluency in the dialect allows for a much richer cultural and communicative experience.
Can learning Romano help me if I’m traveling to Rome?

While most Romans speak standard Italian, understanding Romano can deepen your connection to locals and help you pick up on cultural references, jokes, and expressions that tourists often miss. It also shows respect and enthusiasm for the local culture, which can lead to warmer interactions.

Not at all—especially with a dedicated Romano tutor. If you already speak or are learning Italian, you’ll find that Romano builds naturally on that foundation. And with personalized classes, your tutor can focus on the most useful vocabulary, pronunciation, and context to help you absorb the dialect comfortably and confidently.
