5 Reasons Why Cagliari Is the Perfect Place to Learn Italian

  1. Authentic Italian everywhere you go
    Cagliari isn’t overrun by tourists, so the language you hear in the streets, shops, cafés, and on buses is real Italian—not English. Every walk, every coffee, every conversation becomes a natural listening and speaking opportunity.

  2. Clear and easy-to-understand Italian
    Locals speak Italian or Sardinian, but rarely mix the two. The Italian spoken here is considered clean, standard, and easy to follow — ideal for learners who want to understand and be understood.

  3. Friendly and welcoming locals
    Cagliaritani are famous for their warmth. They love chatting, helping out, and getting to know newcomers, giving you endless chances to practise your Italian outside the classroom.

  4. A fantastic climate
    Think sunshine, blue skies, and mild temperatures for most of the year. Cagliari feels like a Mediterranean summer that never ends — perfect for studying in the morning and enjoying the city in the afternoon.

  5. Beaches on your doorstep
    Cagliari boasts its own long sandy beach, Poetto, and some of Europe’s most breathtaking coastlines — Chia and Villasimius — are just a short trip away. Study Italian and hit the beach without ever needing to choose between the two.
