With this extra class, students have the opportunity to revise and clarify the grammar they have worked with throughout the previous week. One thematic per workshop!
The phonetics & pronunciation workshop is a complementary lesson essential when learning a foreign language. Teachers often use the school's soundproof laboratory of dubbing and recording.

20 lessons General Italian + 5 hours of private lessons.
This course is designed for those students who are already "experts" in the field of law in their own language and who are interested in the language of law in Italian for professional reasons or for study.
Since the law field is extremely broad and cannot be covered in a thorough manner in the few available lessons, students may begin the course by planning with the instructor a programme with a narrower focus on the basis of their needs.
The program focuses on different areas of law, aiming at providing students with the basic vocabulary and professional expressions that are most often used. Since it is held that a dry presentation of vocabulary on the subject matter would be of little practical use, each of the fields will be covered through the analysis of "texts". After identifying the basic technical vocabulary and expressions, the student is helped to assimilate them through targeted exercises and discussions.

Why business Italian? The utility of the business language is no longer to be proved. Whereas it is for studies, work, or future career plans with the Italian language, you need to be able to express yourself correctly in context. It could be simply useful for the ones who like travelling in Italy, to such simple things as writing emails for reservations or phoning to plan an arrival or solve a problem!
Course content: It is really adaptable to your needs, but here is a sample of the themes you could study:
Looking for a job, commercial correspondence, telephone manners, presentations in companies, publicity, travelling, transport and shipping, problem solving, professional fairs and seminars...
The subjects are also built around cultural, international current affairs and events. Students won’t escape a revision of the grammar, the tenses used in the business Italian are really important.
