🔥 Why is Italian so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand common sentences, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Italian. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Italian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to master Italian?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Italian will require at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of Italian or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Italian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Italian classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Italian coach?
In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Italian tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
