A little background on the Italian language

Learning any language takes time, and you'll need to study things like conditionals and subjunctives, but the reality is that languages are so much more. It's a gateway to experience the history and culture of a place, and a way to get in close contact with native speakers. Just look at the history of the language itself, and you'll see how intertwined it is with history, politics and culture.

Most students don't know that 'standard Italian' is really just the dialect from one part of the country; Tuscany. Dante Alighieri, who was an extremely famous writer living during the Middle Ages and is known as the father of the Italian language, used this dialect for every book and poem, so when unification happened in 1861, it became a lingua franca. Before then, only about 2.5% of Italy's population were native speakers of this 'language'. So what did they speak? The answers lie in the history of every region. Over hundreds of years, dialects in each one were influenced by both conquerors and friends.

Students will be able to learn about the chequered history of Italy through learning about its languages, like in the Alpine areas, where German influences are clear, or in Sardegna which was so isolated over the years that it still has some features of pre-Latin languages, and is officially recognised as its own language. For children and adults, this knowledge can change your view of the language and country, making it more exciting and important.
