Italian is a language of Latin origin and root and is one of the most beautiful and easiest languages to speak due to its more direct origin with Latin and its similarity to Spanish.
Italy is a country of the European Union of the Mediterranean Sea, which is located in southern Europe and bathes the coasts of countries such as Spain, Greece and Italy itself. Curiously, the Italian peninsula was the home of the ancient Western Roman Empire, an empire that had Latin as its official language and from which languages such as Spanish, Portuguese or Italian itself come, which is the one that most closely resembles ancient Latin.
Italian, although it does not have the same international repercussion that other languages such as English, Spanish and French can have, is a quite popular language, since it is spoken in Italy and in some African countries due to the former colonial empires.
Learning languages is always a guarantee of increasing the chances of finding a stable job, especially in the service sector. Italian is no exception to the rule and for this reason learning Italian is just as important as knowing languages like English.

Instructions to learn Italian
- Aulafácil course: I know that I always start the same way when it comes to teaching languages, but the aulafácil page seems to me to be one of the best pages on the entire network to learn languages, which also has free certificates that will help you work. Thanks to this course you will be able to learn things like the alphabet, pronouns, basic verbs, grammar exercises, vocabulary exercises. Once you do, you are ready to obtain the certificate.
- Aulafácil A1 certificate: Now we are going to obtain the diploma that will allow us to prove that we know some Italian. You will have to pass a fairly simple multiple choice exam to obtain it and then you can download and print the certificate.
- The dictionary: The reason why I always resort to dictionaries in applications for Smartphones is because it seems to me a comfortable way. Go to the Google Play Store if you have Android, the App Store if you have Android and the Marketplace if you have Windows Phone. Search Italian Spanish dictionary and you will find hundreds of options. Choose the option with the most rating stars and download it to your phone. You will already have a dictionary which you will use as a query whenever you have any kind of doubt in this wonderful language.
- Videos: Now is the time to learn how to pronounce some Italian, for this we need to watch some videos to see how to pronounce it and practice it.
- Aulafácil A2 certificate: Now we are ready to certify ourselves in A2 in aulafácil. This exam will allow us to obtain a valid certificate for some jobs, a certificate that, let’s say, is to capture everything learned in a diploma.
- Language school: To obtain the B1 and B2 certificates, we need to go to the official language school since aulafácil only certifies you up to A2. I believe that level B1 can be approved by presenting yourself for free, since with what you know I think you already have a level. I advise you to do it in person at the official language school of your city to ensure approval. Once you take the B2, your chances of finding a job have increased substantially.
- Traveling to Italy: The essential step to thoroughly learn a language is to practice it. Here in Spain it can be practiced but you will never achieve the level of effectiveness that you will achieve by going to Italy and speaking it with authentic Italian natives in real life situations. Also, by the way, you can visit all the emblematic places of the country such as the Tower of Pisa, the Colosseum, the city of Rome…
