General Italian Courses
Your journey into the beautiful language is waiting
Groups are perfect to study languages! Students are involved in task-based activities, which will help them to improve their actual use of the Italian language by doing and solving various tasks and problems in a fun and pleasant learning environment. The emphasis is on speaking, listening and reading tasks. We will also work on grammar, writing and pronunciation. Our course programs are organised following the standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Assessment
To join an A1.1 (beginners) course, you don’t need any previous knowledge of Italian — just enthusiasm to learn!
If you already have some experience but are new to our school, we’ll ask you to take a free online assessment test before enrolling in a general course. This helps us find the best class for your level.
Please contact us to arrange an assessment test.

Our courses range from classes for Basic users to Proficient users for a gradual improvement in the acquisition of the Italian language. Our programs follow the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). In our school we divide the levels (A1, A2. B1. B2, C1) into sub levels/blocks of 12 weeks each.
