Italian

At Emmaus Catholic School, we are proud to offer Italian as part of our engaging and dynamic language program. Learning Italian not only enhances students’ cognitive skills but also deepens their appreciation for culture, history, and global connections.

Italian is a language of art, history, and culture. By learning it, students connect with Italy’s rich heritage, from its artistic masterpieces to its renowned culinary traditions. With Italy being a popular travel destination and a significant part of Australia’s multicultural identity, learning Italian opens doors to deeper cultural understanding and meaningful connections.

As a Romance language, Italian shares many linguistic ties with English, and students may be surprised by how many Italian words they already know! Our engaging program introduces students to essential vocabulary, tailored to their year level and learning needs, along with fascinating insights into Italian culture, history, and music.

Beyond the joy of discovering a new language, learning a language also offers incredible benefits. Studies show that bilingual students often excel in standardised tests, enhancing their academic performance. Language learning also strengthens memory, problem-solving skills, and creativity.
