Learn Italian Online

at the Beverly Hills Lingual Institute

Did you know?

Italy and France produce more than forty percent of all wine.

Ciao! Melodic, harmonic and romantic, Italian is the language of lovers! Despite being spoken by comparatively few people (60 million), it remains one of the most popular languages to learn and has been described as 'easy Latin.'

Interestingly enough, Italian didn't become a single, official language until 1861. Though various dialects of Italian have been around for centuries, it wasn't until Italy unified that a standard version of the language emerged. At the time, less than three percent of Italy's population could speak what is now known as standard Italian.

Why a Virtual Classroom instead of an App?

Your best choice to learn Italian online is the Beverly Hills Lingual Institute. Our faculty and courses are proven, effective, and extremely popular with residents of the Los Angeles area.

The best part about living in Los Angeles is...

Los Angeles is well known for its weather, beaches, amazing Hollywood attractions, and intercontinental cuisine. Besides that, you may be sitting next to celebrities and/ or athletes.

Recommend a place to visit where Italian is the native language, and tell us why you like it.

Not many people are aware of the Italian museum in downtown Los Angeles. There, students can learn about the history of the first immigrants in California, all the way through today, where Italians are researchers, professors, engineers, scientists and more. Also outside Italy, students may find Eritrea, an old Italian colony in Africa next to Ethiopia, interesting. Italian is also spoken in Malta, Switzerland, France, Austria, and Slovenia.

What Italian film or musical artist do you recommend students watch or listen to?

Of the classics, 'La Dolce Vita,' 'Mediterraneo,' 'Cinema Paradiso,' to name a few. Among modern films, 'La Grande Bellezza.' There are many culinary documentaries featuring prestigious chefs: on Netflix: 'Chef's Table' (entirely in Italian), and on HBO, 'My Brilliant Friend' with English subtitles. Of musicians—Giorgia, Elisa, Cremonini, Giovanotti are this professor's favorites.

What most surprises your students about Italian?

When they are curious and ask questions, when they study and they are able to express themselves and create great sentences.

What one thing would you like your students to know about you?

I am interested in learning more about different cultures and customs.

The best part about living in Los Angeles is...

Well, it offers such a huge variety of choices and possibilities, whatever you're looking for, it's there. it's dynamic and international, it's sunny and rich with different people and stories and I love that!

Recommend a place to visit where Italian is the native language, and tell us why you like it.

Val D'orcia, Tuscany, is the place to go for your next trip to Italy. The beauty of its gentle hills is breathtaking, the peace and silence all around are a relief for the mind. And the towns in Val D'Orcia, oh, well, they are just amazing: Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, Montalcino are a must-see for any visitor to Italy.

What Italian film or musical artist do you recommend students watch or listen to?

Paolo Sorrentino's movies: Youth; The Great Beauty; The consequences of love; The man up. Also, Ferzan Ozpetek's movies: The ignorant fairies; Steam: the Turkish bath.

What most surprises your students about Italian?

Two aspects: the Italian language is as cool as they expect it to be and they can actually speak it since lesson one.

What one thing would you like your students to know about you?

I care about each of them and their expectations.

Private Italian Classes

We offer semi-private Italian classes or private Italian lessons for any level of Italian.

Some students prefer private lessons instead of a scheduled class, or occasionally take private classes to augment their existing, scheduled group course.

Private classes are more flexible than Group classes. They are tailored to specific learning and scheduling needs. They can be useful if a student's language knowledge is uneven, if a more intensified study program is needed, or if privacy is a concern.

With our large staff of native speakers, we can schedule private lessons in most languages.

Private lessons are available in packages of:

4 classes (80-minutes each)
8 classes (80-minutes each)
12 classes (80-minutes each)

Or, if you are enrolled in a group class, your private lesson can be scheduled individually.

Please write us or call (323) 651-5000 to schedule your private class.

Mon 28 Apr - Mon 23 Jun

All regularly scheduled group courses run online for one term (eight weeks), one day (80 minutes) per week.

Each group course is limited to 8 students.

If your level and preferred time is not shown, please call us at (323) 651-5000 or write us. We often add classes after the schedule is published in order to accommodate demand.

Why Learn Italian?

Unesco rates Italy as having more sites of historical importance than any other country. It is home to almost sixty percent of the world's arts treasures, many of which are best enjoyed in their native language.

Whether you're ordering pizza in Naples or gelato in Venice, having a working knowledge of the Italian language could save you a few euros on vacation.

If you're considering a career in fashion and design, planning to buy a second home in Tuscany, or are an aficionado of classical music, learning Italian is a must.

Mastering a new language can change your life.

Spending time studying an unfamiliar alphabet, practicing different sounds, and generally striving to master a foreign language like Italian has been proven to have a positive effect on the learner's mind. Studies show that adults learning new languages stimualte similar brain parts as children learning you speak. You'll find it easier to learn and remember new things, and you'll likely enjoy the ability to hold more things in short-term memory.

Bilingual individuals often demonstrate increased open-mindedness, creativity, and approachability compared to those who speak only one language. Learning a new language extends beyond acquiring linguistic skills; it cultivates new sensibilities and a broadened perspective on the world. Consequently, multilingualism promotes a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and customs, fostering greater acceptance of new ideas.

The Beverly Hills Lingual Institute invites you to learn Italian at our award-winning school, where we are proud to offer Italian and more than 35 other languages.

Our language school hires and retains exceptional Italian teachers, eager to share their knowledge and love for their native land and the Italian language.

Our attractive location, on-site parking and schedule all combine to facilitate your Italian courses.

Read what our students say about us—and come experience the Italian language best Italian courses in Los Angeles.

More About Italian

Our students regularly tell us that Italian is the most fun language to learn. For one thing, it's much easier to pronounce Italian than French, or even Spanish. If you've learned some Latin but been stupefied by Latin grammar, don't be put off by Italian; despite the three different types of verbs, there are no noun cases and Italian grammar is much easier to master.
