Riscoprire il valore della lingua italiana | eatparade
What are the most spoken languages and most studied in the world?
Neglecting aspects discounted (the most spoken language is Chinese and the most studied language is English), recent statistics classify the Italian between the fourteenth and twentieth adopted language as their first language. These data raise the Italian in a much more advanced (around the sixth to seventh place) in the ranking of foreign languages studied.
Results are interesting considering the perennial financial crisis of the few Italian schools abroad and the lack of means and resources that Italy gives in the teaching of our language in foreign countries.
The experts explain that the power of teaching in the world comes from the fact that our language is of paramount importance for those interested in art, cooking or music, and that the Italian is still, even if not limited to, the reference language of the Catholic world.
For many people, the Italian is associated with Italy and the latter is considered the seat of the good and the beautiful, the country with the highest artistic and cultural heritage.
The undeniable charm of the past but also a present fact of fashion, design, cuisine, are the reasons that today determine the luck in the world of Italian.
