Did you know?
Can you think of a celebrity that knows Italian? Over the years, the Italian language has seduced quite a few famous people into learning it.
One of the most famous Italian speakers is Robert de Niro. This isn't much of a surprise as he has an Italian name, his ancestors emigrated to the United States in the 19th century and he has both an American and Italian citizenship. This skill has jump-started his career back in the 70’s and got him a role in "The Godfather", a role that made him one of the most popular actors in Hollywood.
While learning Italian can help you get parts in important movies, it can also benefit your music career. One of the most famous female singers who knows Italian is Shakira. She's a renowned language learner speaking 6 different languages she picked up during her worldwide tours.
While being Colombian surely helped Shakira learn Italian faster, other celebrities had to learn it from scratch. Kobe Bryant, one of the most famous basketball players of all time, learned Italian in his childhood when his father moved the family to Italy to play professional basketball. Kobe later returned to the United States impressing his school mates with his Italian.
