Common questions
Common questions about the Italian course
Do I really need to learn Italian if my course is in English?
Functionally, yes. English will work in the classroom and at the university office. It will not work at the bus ticket counter, the local post office, the rental agency, or the pharmacy in most cities. Even basic Italian (greetings, numbers, directions) substantially improves daily life from week one.How much Italian is enough for the first year as an international student?
Reaching CEFR A2 level is a realistic and useful target before arrival. That covers polite greetings, basic transactions, asking for directions, and simple conversations. Our free 3-day course covers approximately A1 — enough to feel oriented from day one.Is the audio on this Italian course actually a native speaker?
It is a Microsoft neural-network voice (it-IT-IsabellaNeural for female, it-IT-DiegoNeural for male) — the same voices the Edge browser uses for read-aloud. Pronunciation is at native-speaker quality. We chose this over recording a real speaker so we can update the course freely without re-recording sessions.Will I need an Italian language certificate (CILS, CELI, PLIDA) to study in Italy?
Only for Italian-taught programmes — usually B2 level minimum. For English-taught programmes, no Italian certificate is required for admission, though some universities ask for a basic A1/A2 certificate before the second year for student-life purposes.What's the difference between Day 1, 2, 3 of this course?
Day 1: the Italian alphabet, the five vowels, tricky consonant sounds, and numbers. Day 2: greetings, polite words, introducing yourself, and tu vs Lei. Day 3: directions, transport, buying things, and asking for help. Together, these are the survival basics for your first days in Italy. Premium adds Days 4–30 — 27 more days with real-world dialogues and conversation practice.
