7 Best Live Online Italian Courses

The intensive course gives you the opportunity to improve quickly even attending for just one week. The first part of the course from 9:00-11:00 is dedicated to the introduction of new topics (grammar, vocabulary, idioms). After a 10-min break from 11:00-11:10, the course will focus on speaking and communicative skills, with cultural information as well. Students are encouraged to use the grammar structures presented in the first part of the course.

The intensive group course generally takes place every day from Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 13:00. It is the right choice to meet other students and learn with them. The maximum number for this course is 7 students for each level. You will do two lessons of 1 hour and 30 minutes with two different teachers. The third lesson is 1 hour and focuses on Italian culture. During the break, you can have a coffee, repeat the lesson, chat with other students or take a stroll around the area before returning to class. If you book for the intensive course but there is no group for your level, you will take an individual course of 1 hour and a half every day at no extra cost! To access this course you will need to take an entrance test if you are NOT a complete beginner. *To guarantee all lessons, the school reserves the right to move some intensive courses to 12 noon if there are needs related to the high number of intensive courses started.
