Italian Language Courses
Our Italian General Courses run all year round with a program divided into 6 levels, from Beginner to Proficient.
They are included in Summer Term, Semester and Academic Year Programs or they can also be attended as single courses for students who are not joining any program.
Classes are made up of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 10 students, therefore creating a friendly and supportive environment in which the teacher can review the linguistic progress of each individual student.
All classes have a good mix of nationalities so that students are encouraged to use only Italian to communicate. Our highly trained teachers review students' progress with a weekly test and homework.
