Have you been taking into consideration studying Italian, but you just don’t know how to take the first step? You begin by saying hello. Buon giorno! See, now you can greet someone in Italian! Are you ready to learn more? That wistful look means you’d like to, but you don’t have time to sign up for a night class. Don’t worry – now you can learn Italian the modern way: online!
Unless you need actual college credits, there’s no reason to battle the traffic, parking hassles, and inconvenience of studying at college. Wouldn’t you rather set your own learning schedule, in your own home? You can do this – you can learn a language on your own!
Don’t you feel better?
You’ve decided to learn Italian online, and there’s no going back. But there are so many courses out there – how do you know which to pick?
It’s not as complex as it looks. Choose a course that focuses on pronunciation, so you’ll know how the words sound. This holds true even if you don’t normally consider yourself to be an auditory learner. When you’ve chosen various courses likely to help you learn Italian online, pare the list down to the one that seems to best suit your personality. People who love to move and jump around will prefer different teaching methods than more inactive folk.
Look on the program’s web page and see whether a free demo is offered. If there’s a free demo, try it; it’s often a shortened version of the course’s first lesson, and it will give you an idea of how this method works. I can’t overstate the relevance of this step, because the demos from various companies can be very different! Before you click out of the website, make sure you check the software’s other features to make sure they interest you. Some programs use video games as skill-builders, which is only effective if you enjoy video games in the first place. Features you like are more likely to help you learn.
I needn’t remind you to compare the price of the software packages you’re considering. Price doesn’t just reflect cost, it reflects value; an expensive program may be more extensive than a less expensive one, although there are exceptions to that rule.
By now you probably know which program will do the best job of helping you study Italian online. Buona fortuna! (Good luck.) Enjoy your Italian adventure!
