Understanding and speaking English confidently and fluently is essential for anyone who wants to thrive in today’s professional world. But what if English alone isn’t enough? Mastering multiple languages is not just a personal achievement—it’s a powerful tool for elevating your professional profile. Learning another language means immersing yourself in a new culture, gaining a fresh perspective, and broadening your worldview, all while strengthening your global mindset.
The study program focuses on the practical use of written and spoken Italian in a professional setting. The Connor Method covers four key areas: language skills, business communication (phone calls, emails, meetings, presentations, social media), social Italian for various situations, and intercultural competence.
French, spoken in 51 countries including Canada, Belgium, and Switzerland, is widely used, especially in the rapidly growing African region. Its demand is high due to the limited spread of English among French speakers, making it a key language for international relations and the European Union.
German is spoken by approximately 78 million people worldwide and is the most widely spoken native language in Europe. Germany is Italy’s leading trade partner, accounting for 15% of its imports and serving as the top destination for “Made in Italy” exports.
Spanish is one of the three most spoken languages in the world, with approximately 414 million native speakers across 31 countries. Notably, it is widely spoken in many emerging Latin American markets, which are becoming increasingly attractive to Italian businesses.
Turkey is a strategic global partner with opportunities in textiles, machinery, and construction. Learning Turkish fosters deeper connections, professional trust, and access to a bridge language between Europe and Asia. Additionally, mastering Turkish unlocks opportunities in a rapidly expanding market with immense potential.
Learning Portuguese connects you with over 265 million speakers worldwide, providing access to vibrant cultures, growing economic opportunities in Brazil and Africa, enriched travel experiences, and stronger personal and professional relationships. It is a strategic asset in today’s global landscape.
Arabic, with 237 million native speakers across 60 countries, is the sixth most spoken language in the world. It is essential for trade with key markets like the United Arab Emirates and plays a crucial role in strategic geopolitical relations. Its relevance is also growing in Italy, where the number of Arabic speakers continues to rise.
With China’s rising economic influence, Chinese is often called the language of the future. As the most spoken language worldwide, it may be challenging to learn, but even a basic knowledge can make a significant impact. It demonstrates respect and cultural openness, highly valued qualities in Chinese business and social interactions.
Japan, with 122 million native speakers, is a global powerhouse and a key strategic partner for Italian exports and tourism. Japanese, though complex and deeply rooted in intercultural nuances, is essential for building strong and successful relationships.
How to choose a language to complement English?
The global spread, economic-political importance (official data from the Ministry of Economic Development), geographical position, cultural affinity, or a personal passion for a language are the primary factors to consider when making your choice. Additionally, the opportunity of traveling or relocating can be a strong incentive to learn the local language.
For this reason, Connor offers business language training and expat training in 12 carefully selected languages considered the most useful for Italians. Moreover, it provides Business Italian courses for expats living and working in Italy.
