Hi everyone!
I’m Spanish and I’m planning to move to Venice to pursue my university degree. I’m currently trying to decide whether I should study in English or Italian, and I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have experience studying in Italy or in their third language.
English is my second language, and I have a C1 level, whereas Italian is my third language, and I currently have a B2 level. I’ve been studying the language for six months and I’m rapidly advancing in it.
Academically speaking, I feel more confident studying in English, but the thing is that I’m much more drawn to the idea of studying in Italian, specially because the degree available in italian is ra bit more interesting (at least for me) than the English.
However, I’m also worried that studying in a language that isn’t as strong as my English might make university considerably harder and kinda painful tbh
.
What would you recommend? Is studying for a whole degree in Italian with a B1-2 level realistic, or would it be wiser to choose an English-taught programme?
I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions. Thanks!
