Message: The best way to learn a language is to apply it to particular areas of work. Communication in real settings enhances motivation among students especially if it is linked to professional training.

Message: It is very interesting for me to see that Italian or any languages can be spread for specific purposes, particularly, related to toursism and commerce. It would be very enriching to promote other professional fields so students can choose the area they would like to be specialized.
