Overview

Learning Italian will give you access to one of the richest European cultural traditions and to the language of opera, film and music, as well as the language of architecture, fashion and industrial design. Speaking Italian is advantageous if you are interested in international law, economics, commerce and trade. In addition, because of the large number of Italian speakers in Australia, Italian is also relevant to areas such as migrant studies and sociology.
