FOR MOVING ABROAD
Moving abroad: learn the language before and after you land
The first months abroad are full of conversations you can’t postpone: the landlord, the town hall, the doctor, your kids’ school. A tutor can rehearse them before they happen, and prepare the language certificate some countries ask for.

Buongiorno!
Bienvenue !
¡Bienvenidos!
Sounds like you?
- We move in six months and I can only order a coffee.
- I need the language for residency or citizenship.
- The paperwork is in a language I don’t read yet.
- I want to make friends, not just survive.
What to look for
- A tutor from (or who knows) your destination country
- Role play of real errands: rent, town hall, doctor, school
- Preparation for the certificate your application needs
- Lessons that continue once you’ve moved

Questions about moving abroad: learn the language before and after you land
Do I need a language test to become an Italian citizen?
For citizenship by marriage, Italy requires Italian at least at level B1 of the CEFR, shown with a recognised certificate. Check your consulate’s page for the current rules.
How early should I start learning before a move?
As early as you can. Even a few months of regular speaking practice makes the first weeks far easier.
Should my tutor be from the country I move to?
It helps for accent, vocabulary and daily-life details, especially for Spanish (Spain vs Latin America) and French (France vs Québec).
