The Intensive course from Laboling in their Milazzo location is best suited to students who would like to learn Italian in a relaxed and easygoing environment where people of many different nationalities come together to support one another's language goals. 20 lessons per week.
In terms of methodology, the school has a preference for activities that encourage students to get talking in Italian - however grammar, vocabulary and accuracy are still given their due importance. Small class sizes support the academy’s preference for communication activity, as it’s much easier to speak with your teachers and classmates with a maximum of just 9 other students in the room.
