Many of these items found their way to Oxford where they are in high demand, especially clothing, vehicles and electronics.

Why Study Italian in Oxford

Learn Italian for Culture: The Italian culture is known for its rich history, world-renowned food and classical arts, and you can experience all of them in Oxford. Join one of the many events organised by the Oxford Italian Association, established in 1990 to fulfil a need for a local cultural association of people interested in any aspect of Italian life. Today, it has more than 1,000 active members and every month, for example, there are lectures about art, literature and architecture delivered in Italian by scholars. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to improve your listening skills you develop in your Italian classes with Language Trainers!

Learn Italian for Travel and Work: Italian lessons in Oxford can also help you when travelling. If you are planning to visit the beautiful Rome, Venice or Napoli, you will be glad to know there are daily direct flights from London, with Heathrow just an hour away by bus or car, to these cities. In a little over 3 hours, you can be in the capital of Italy, walking around the legendary Colosseum and ordering food like a local! But learning Italian offers many benefits beyond just being able to have a conversation with native speakers. The language assumes a dominant position in international relations as an official language of the EU. Consequently, many businesses, like Veeva Systems and Elite, heavily rely on their bilingual staff to conduct negotiations and speak to their Italian partners. In fact, the British Council’s Languages for the Future placed Italian in the top ten languages most significant to the UK over the next 20 years. So, take advantage of the numerous job opportunities in and around Oxford by boosting your CV with Italian!

Learn Italian for Social: There are many instances where you can put your Italian to use around Oxford. For example, you can join the Italian Society of the University of Oxford, a group composed of an ever-growing community of Oxford students, alumni, and non-students, all united by their love for the Italian culture. Every month, they get together for drinks and to chat, so join them if you would like to meet new people while having some Mediterranean nibbles and wine! Another option is to join The Oxford Italiano Meetup, a language exchange group where you can practise your Italian while enjoying an aperitivo. This group is for all those who love Italy and Italian culture and want to improve their language skills and make friends. All ages and levels are welcome, so don't feel intimidated and impress them with the skills you learn with us at Language Trainers!
