Post Beginners' Italian
Italian is spoken by around 60-70 million people worldwide as a maternal language, with another 40-50 million speaking it as a cultural language. This fascinating language is considered to be the most directly related to the Latin which forms the basis of so many European languages. Italian is also the official language of the Vatican and much of the Catholic Church, as well as being a lingua franca in areas such as music, opera and fashion.

About your teacher:
Catia Clarke, Italian
I studied Arts and Philosophy at the Universities of Palermo and Bologna. I have many years of teaching experience in higher and further education both in Italy and in Britain. I have been teaching at Brunel University since 2003 where I have been promoting and mentoring the introduction of information technology in language teaching. I believe that the use of audio-visual aids encourages a
better understanding of the cultural aspects of a country bringing Italy's music, cinema and the other visual arts, architecture, cuisine and design to life in your class.
