Yes, italian is generally considered a relatively easy language for English speakers to learn.
There will be challenges along the way, but with the right motivation and resources, an English speaker can certainly achieve a good level of Italian.

Is it easy for an English speaker to learn Italian?  

The answer is depends. When we speak about learning a language the first factor is motivation and I was able to encourage students with my friendly and cultural approach in my lessons. 
Then, when we talk about to learn Italian, although Italian is Romance language, my students/contacts say that: the phonetic is not hard, listening is manageable because the sounds of Italian words is melodic and they could learn grammar because I simplify it.

If you want I can show you my method and I will try to support you.

Francesco 

As a native speaker with C1 level Italian, I would say: yes and no. Because Italian is a latin language, it has a lot of similarities to English (ex: similar vs. simile, particular vs. particolare, silence vs. silenzio). This can make it very beginner-friendly. But once you reach the higher levels, you will start being exposed to complex grammatical structures like congiuntivo, congiuntivo imperfetto, and  passato remoto. These structures simply don’t exist in English and can be very challenging for English speakers (even Italian mess these up sometimes!)

Andrea Francesco

Insegno la lingua italiana da circa due anni, ed ho insegnato soprattutto agli stranieri di tutto il mondo

Durante le mie lezioni utilizzo testi classici o moderni, uso le mie fotografie per spiegare e descrivere tutto ciò che vedono.
Organizzo conversazioni su argomenti di interesse comune. Uso registrazioni audio per praticare la pronuncia e la struttura delle frasi. Creo un ambiente di immersione totale in cui si parla solo italiano.
Concentro le prime lezioni sull'ascolto e la comprensione, introducendo lentamente la produzione orale e scritta.

I live in Sicily, I have a degree in Communication and Public Relations from the faculty of Political Sciences, I am a theater actor, I have a passion for photography, cinema, travel and sport in general.

I have been teaching the Italian language for about two years, and I have mainly taught foreigners from all over the world

During my lessons I use classical or modern texts, I use my photographs to explain and describe everything they see.
I organize conversations on topics of common interest. I use audio recordings to practice pronunciation and sentence structure. I create an environment of total immersion where only Italian is spoken.
I focus the first lessons on listening and comprehension, slowly introducing oral and written production.

I’m from Los Angeles, California but I am currently living in Italy, where I’m getting a bachelor’s degree in foreign language. My hobbies of course include language learning! But I also love to draw, garden, cook, and do anything and everything creative.

Intro FrancescoC-3ed81a

Francesco C.

Da quando mi sono trasferito all’estero in Polonia nel 2017 ho insegnato Italiano. 
La maggior parte delle persone a cui ho insegnato sono polacche, ma altre ucraine, turche o del latino America.

Il mio approccio è amichevole, professionale, preciso e puntuale. Inoltre totalmente personalizzato all’obiettivo dello studente. 
Può essere una normale conversazione, spontanea o su temi particolari. Altrimenti, posso insegnare la grammatica da zero in modo da permettere di avere un livello di lingua discreto e appropriato per diverse esigenze.

I am a 30 year old Italian guy born in Cagliari, but I have been living in Poland for 7 years where I started teaching Italian and Italian culture.
Among my hobbies I can mention history, learning about cultures and people different from mine, sports, politics, pop music and many others.

Since I moved abroad to Poland in 2017 I have been teaching Italian. 
Most of the people I have taught are Polish, but others are Ukrainian, Turkish or Latin American.

My approach is friendly, professional, precise and punctual. Also totally personalized to the student's objective. 
It can be a normal conversation, spontaneous or on particular topics. Otherwise, I can teach grammar from scratch in order to allow you to have a discrete and appropriate level of language for different needs.
