History of Italian
Italian developed from Tuscan dialect, elevated by Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio in the 13th-14th centuries. Despite political unification in 1861, regional dialects remained strong until mass media spread standard Italian in the 20th century. Italian is the language of the Renaissance and Western classical music.
Is Italian Hard to Learn?
Italian has very consistent pronunciation rules and a musical rhythm. Grammar follows clear patterns, and many words are recognizable to English speakers through Latin roots. The main challenge is mastering verb conjugations.
