Getting started

Teaching Italian in primary school, where to begin

New to teaching Italian, or building a program from scratch? You don't need to be fluent to give your students a strong, engaging start. Here's the approach our resources are built around.

1

Start with greetings and everyday phrases

Begin with Ciao and buongiorno. Italian is beautifully phonetic, words are said as they're spelled, so students gain confidence speaking almost straight away.

2

Lean on the words students already know

Italian shares countless cognates with English (famiglia, musica, pizza). Pointing these out gives beginners quick wins and momentum.

3

Bring in food, music and culture

Few languages are as easy to make fun. Songs, food and Italian festivals give vocabulary a real-world hook that primary learners love.

4

Reinforce with flashcards and games

Short, repeated bursts of vocabulary through flashcards and quick games make new words stick.
