Learn Italian Through Music - Newark Buttermarket - Adult Learning

About this course

Do you want to learn Italian but have never got to grips with it before? Or do you want to extend your current knowledge of the language in a new way? This course will introduce you to basic Italian vocabulary through the examination of music.

We will cover roughly 10 Italian songs ranging from old folklore classics to songs famous from the radio to songs that you may have heard or part translations of famous English songs – singers will include Andrea Boccelli, Tiziano Ferro, Zucchero and more.

Through listening to the music, you will learn hundreds of new words in Italian and gain an appreciation of some Italian grammar rules. You will be introduced to the meanings of songs that you previously wouldn’t have understood.

No experience or knowledge of the Italian language is essential; however, the course would be highly beneficial for any learner of Italian who is looking to extend their vocabulary.
