Dictionary Italian To English

While some may think that learning to speak Italian is a difficult endeavor, it’s actually much more simple than it appears. Italian is one of the Romance languages , with linguistic siblings including Portuguese, Spanish, and French. If you already speak one of those languages, picking up Italian will be a breeze. But even if you don’t have this advantage, learning Italian is easily within grasp with the right language learning program. And when you’re excited to learn a new language, the journey can seem fun, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with taking on the challenge is invaluable.

Beyond the obvious economic advantages of learning Italian , you will also benefit as Italian serves as a gateway to important artistic, religious, and political histories within European boundaries. With about 69 million native Italian speakers, and another 16 million speakers taking it on as a second language, Italian can be heard around the world. Italian is considered an official language in:

  • Italy
  • Switzerland
  • San Marino
  • Vatican City
  • Parts of Croatia and Slovenia

Translation engines are commonly used, and are powerful tools to serve as Italian-English dictionaries. But, don’t confuse translations for language learning. While it’s appropriate to take a few shortcuts on your journey, truly learning the Italian language goes beyond mere translations, and requires a language learning program you can trust.

Learning a language also improves your confidence and expands your thinking. And the ability to learn a new language can be an essential part of how you interact and succeed.

Rosetta Stone’s language-learning program will prepare you with the confidence to speak and understand Italian. Studying vocabulary and grammar rules has a place in language learning, however, it shouldn’t be the main focus of your efforts. Let us teach you a skillset beyond vocabulary with our patented Dynamic Immersion® approach. Foundational concepts are taught in specific sequences. So rather than learning conversational words and phrases as mere memorization exercises, you’ll learn and practice speaking them in the context of real-world situations. This allows you to learn the Italian language, and build upon it with your own experiences. The approach not only conveniently fits in your life with brief, 10-minute lessons, but helps you acquire the skills to understand and be understood with confidence.

One of the most important parts of making your learning journey successful is to make sure you are using accurate pronunciation. Rosetta Stone embeds each lesson with their patented TruAccent™ speech-recognition engine . This technology instantly compares your voice to native speakers, giving you valuable real-time feedback on your Italian pronunciation. With this in hand, you can quickly adjust and perfect your pronunciation by fine-tuning your accent. TruAccent is among the most powerful tools for helping you learn and speak the Italian language. You’ll be ready to explore the world in no time.
