Summary

One of our favorite things about visiting Italy is hearing Italian, arguably the world's most beautiful language, all around you. And while English is widely spoken in the major tourist areas, your trip becomes so much more special if you can speak at least a few words of Italian and interact in a more meaningful way with the locals.

If you're curious about learning Italian and wondering how much time and effort it will take to become travel-ready for your trip, prepare to be surprised. Our guest, language expert Michele from the Intrepid Guide, has created a fast-track method to get you speaking travel-ready Italian. And, for those of us who need a little booster to our basic knowledge, intermediate and advanced courses that accelerate your learning.

Discover the Intrepid Guide language courses - new Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced courses following Michele's method available as well her signature Intrepid Guide Travel Course
