"Modern languages are not just about acquisition of language, but about circulation of ideas.

We forget that our medical knowledge (physiology, cardiology, the body and wellbeing) came from North Africa and the Middle East…

That knowledge arrived through translation and transformed our culture.”

Italian Speaking Practice

One reason speaking #Italian can be tricky is that by its very nature it requires at least one other person. But finding people to talk to is easier than you might think, no matter where you live.

Italian vowels are divided into two categories: hard and soft, depending on the letters that precede them.
