It’s almost as good as being there on location.įoreign movies allow us to gain cultural insights that reflect values and perspectives that might differ from where we live. Characters in movies often show us how the locals live, what they do (no matter how mundane), and the places they go to that aren’t on tourist itineraries. Italian movies are also a great way to see Italy from a local angle. Depending on your learning style, it might be easier to follow the dialogue in a movie than repeating the robotic phrases used in lessons. By watching Italian movies, you can hear different native speakers having real conversations beyond the basics found in many language learning apps.
