Courses, Dates and Fees
Our standard Italian courses are comprised of 26 lessons per week. Each lesson is one hour. On your first day you will take an assessment test so we can place you in a class with the right linguistic level (from beginners to advanced).
Small classes enable us to make use of modern communicative methods of language teaching. However we still include older proven language teaching methods where appropriate.
Our aim is to get you speaking Italian irrespective of your current level. To help you to achieve this, our classes include a broad range of activities including; grammar, conversation, analysis and discussion of literary texts and newspaper articles, listening comprehension, group work, lexical and phonetic development, and viewing of Italian films.
Throughout the group lessons, your progress will be carefully monitored.
