Where to Start Learning Italian?

If you say you want to learn Italian but don’t know where to start, you’re not alone. Many people who want to learn Italian in Turkey set out with the same question. Some dream of Italy, some want to learn it for work, and some are curious about this language just because it sounds very good to them.

Whatever the reason, starting from the right place when starting to learn Italian makes the process both more enjoyable and more efficient.

Why Italian?

English is usually the first choice in Turkey. But Italian stands in a different place.

  • The pronunciation sounds good
  • It is written as it is read (great advantage for the beginning)
  • Italian cuisine, music and lifestyle make learning the language more fun

In addition, it should not be forgotten that those who speak Italian have an advantage in the fields of tourism, fashion, gastronomy and art.

What Should Be the First Step When Starting to Learn Italian?

Many people start directly from

  • “Italian lesson 1” videos
  • Random apps
  • Word lists

These are not entirely wrong, but they are not enough on their own.

The following is important for a healthy start:

1️⃣ Pronunciation and Alphabet

In Italian, letters are largely read as they are written. That’s why at the very beginning:

  • letters
  • Accent rules
  • Basic sounds

Learning saves a lot of time in the future.

2️⃣ Basic Expressions Used in Daily Life

Phrases like “hello”, “thank you”, “please” both motivate and make you feel the language in real life.

For example:

  • Buongiorno (Good day)
  • Grazie (Thank you)
  • Per favore (Please)

Starting with such expressions makes the language “alive” not only in the book but also in everyday life.

3️⃣ Understanding Level Logic from the Start

Italian is also divided into levels according to the CEFR system:

  • A1: Basic beginner
  • A2: Daily conversations
  • B1: Smoother handling

Knowing this structure from the very beginning clarifies the answer to the question “Where am I now?” and allows you to set the expectation correctly.

Common Mistakes When Learning Italian in Turkey

Let’s be a little honest 🙂

  • Believing in promises of “Italian in 1 month”
  • Just trying to move forward with the app
  • Ignoring grammar altogether
  • Speaking = knowing the language

Learning Italian is an enjoyable process, but it doesn’t progress without structure. Especially for Turkish speakers, tenses (such as imperfetto) and sentence structures are much easier to understand when learned with a certain system.

Does Learning Italian Online Make Sense?

Face-to-face options in Turkey can be limited. That’s why online Italian courses have come to the fore in recent years.

  • Watching videos is another
  • Taking live, structured lessons is one thing

Online learning can be highly effective when combined with the right program and instructor. This issue should also be discussed in detail.

So what happens next?

Starting to learn Italian is actually the hardest part. After:

  • The right method
  • The right level
  • Realistic goals

It progresses much more smoothly with .

If you’ve clarified where to start learning Italian, knowing the differences between online courses, lessons, and apps next makes the process a lot easier.
