This set of Italian tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Italian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Italian: enough Italian to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Italian culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Italian.

Minneapolis
The primary business hub between Chicago and Seattle, Minneapolis is the largest city in the state of Minnesota. The three prime factors of business contacts, population size and diverse waves of immigration combine to make Minneapolis an ideal location to embrace learning a new language! The history of immigration to Minneapolis is unquestionably rich. Mid-nineteenth century arrivals originated from the Scandinavian nations of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and later an abundance of immigrants settled in Minneapolis from Greece, Italy, Poland and Germany. The city now hosts a sizeable population of Russian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Korean communities, as well as groups from Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and throughout Africa. Talk about ethnic diversity - and just think what this means for the possibility of talking another language!
