    FAQ about Centro Linguistico Italiano Dante Alighieri, Rome

  • “For elementary students I don't suggest the G4. It's a grammar course, effective for speakers who have a good ability in speaking and wants to improve the grammar knowledge.... When the language learning is "academic" and not through the daily life we suggest the G8 course at least, for improving all the abilities. With the G4 course the student takes the risk to have a good knowledge of the grammar but poor abilities in listening comprehension and oral production.”
    Fabrizio, Founder | School Manager from LanguageCourse.net
