The Italian community has strong roots in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Italians formed the 8th largest group of overseas-born residents in Australia in 2020. In the 2016 census, Italian was ranked as the 6th most commonly spoken language in Australia, with 1.2% of the Australian population being Italian speakers. Considering Italy’s history of arts, music, culture and culinary finesse, it is no surprise that Italian is also one of the most popular languages studied in Australia, and the 4th most studied language in the world, according to the General Assembly of the Italian Language in the World. With these demographics in mind, it makes perfect sense to sign up for Italian classes in Canberra, the thriving capital of Australia.

Why Study Italian in Canberra

For Work: Studying Italian can broaden your professional horizons, as many companies today are looking to hire bilingual speakers. Several big-name Italian brands, such as the chocolate company Ferrero and the energy company Enel, are all investing in Australia. Similarly, Austrade’s Italy Business Plan 2020-21 found good opportunities for Australian firms in areas such as digital technology, renewable energy and food. With Canberra’s economy rated by the ACT Government as one of the strongest in the country, investing in a European language, such as Italian, can give business owners and job-seekers a significant advantage over like-minded competitors in today’s increasingly international market. As a result, taking Italian classes in Canberra can be a great way to boost individual employability or a company’s international relations.

For Culture: Canberra celebrates Italian culture with a passion that is difficult to rival anywhere else in Australia. The 2021 National Multicultural Festival in Canberra showcased, for example, the local Dante Alighieri Society, an order formed from a group of passionate Italian-music enthusiasts who perform music ranging from traditional Italian folk to opera arias. Also, in 2006, Canberra opened its own Italian Cultural Centre for its Italian community, thoughtfully designed to remind visitors of Italy with its large hall and traditional bell tower. Food festivals are hosted frequently, including the Week of Italian Cuisine. Taking Italian lessons in Canberra, then, is a fantastic way to engage in this active, passionate community, whose events and activities are frequently supported by local embassies and funded by Italian companies. 

For Social: Those looking for opportunities to socialise and put their Italian into use can join The Italian Reading Meetup Group. This is a group for anyone interested in all aspects of Italian culture and language. Some of the activities their members organise are food and wine tasting, travelling around Italy, watching films in their original language, playing cards (burraco), Scarabeo (Scrabble in Italian) and spending time in good company! After the meeting, you can go to one of the many Italian restaurants in the city, such as Vapiano on Bunda St. There, you can sample traditional Italian dishes like pizza, ravioli, gnocchi and more! Order in Italian and impress your friends with your newly acquired pronunciation!
