Italian Lessons in Perth

Perth, as the fourth most populous city in Australia, is one of the great economic hubs in Western Australia. Rich in culture and leading a steadily rising economy, Perth houses over 80% of the Italian population in Western Australia, with more than 100,000 citizens claiming Italian heritage in the 2016 Australian census. If you would like to make friends with these people, then learning Italian will be of great help. You will also get to enjoy your holidays in beautiful Italy, find new and exciting job opportunities in Perth and even understand the menus of the many traditional restaurants throughout the city. Language Trainers can provide you with flexible lessons, so you will acquire this fascinating language at your own pace and time.  

Why Study Italian in Perth

For Work: The influx of Italian immigration reached Australia during the 1950s and ‘60s, and the presence of this thriving community is a reminder of the close economic links between the two countries. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs noted Italy as their 16th largest trading partner in 2017. Considering Western Australia’s growing economic prosperity, there are plenty of opportunities to network with Italian professionals for any person who is seeking to establish international relations for their business or career. For example, you can contact the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Australia- Perth at 216 Street. Founded in 1989, the Chamber's main mission is to promote its members and support Italian companies in Australia through various projects, networking events and business support services. Why not attend one of their conferences and impress Italian entrepreneurs with your new language skills?

For Travel: For those who are enchanted by the amazing Italian country, you are most certainly not alone. A Business Insider study in 2017 revealed that Australian travellers ranked Italy as the top luxury-holiday destination. Across the globe, Italy was the 5th most visited destination in 2019 and, according to CEIC Data, a record number of 62.5 million people visited the country that year. With Perth Airport offering direct flights to Europe since 2018, there is no better time to start learning Italian and exploring this beautiful country. In a little over 15 hours, you can be in Rome, walking around the Colosseum and speaking to the locals with the pronunciation and vocabulary you acquire in your lessons with us!

For Culture: Languages provide a connection between people, and one of the greatest joys of learning Italian will doubtlessly be the opportunity to explore the rich culture behind it. Perth’s Italian culture is sustained and celebrated by its passionate local members. The Western Australian Italian Club on Fitzgerald Street, for example, is one of Perth’s most recognisable and longstanding clubs, with its origins tracing back to 1934. The Club not only brings authentic Italian cuisine and music to the city, but also the WA Italian Golf Club is active in representing Western Australia in annual tournaments and cups. Perth is also one of the tour destinations for the Lavazza Italian Film Festival, which travels around major Australian cities to bring the best Italian cinematography to the country. In addition, the annual Little Italy Street Festival frequents the suburbs of Perth, featuring entertainment including classical Italian music, dining and Ferrari exhibitions. With such an immersive, exciting and engaging community right at your door, it makes sense to start taking Italian classes in Perth!
