The Intensive Course consists of 25 lessons of 45 minutes per week in a group (23 lessons in the classroom plus 2 lessons for the test and curricular exercises). The courses are convenient in cost-benefit. Practical communication courses enable students to reach a solid grasp of the language in a short time. You learn to use the Italian language, how to speak and understand, as well as to read and write.
The first part of the Italian lesson is devoted to the language structure, the use of grammar and vocabulary. The second part of the lesson is dedicated to Italian language expression and communication. This second part of the lesson is most effective when done in Italy where the total immersion creates the necessity to understand and to be understood in Italian. Learning just grammar and vocabulary can be done without ever coming to Italy.
Class schedule
Intensive Italian language courses are held in the morning from 9:00 to 12:20, or from 10:50 to 14:10, or in the afternoon from 12:40 to 15:50, all with 20-minute coffee breaks.
One afternoon conversation lesson is provided once a week for all levels. Language classes are usually in the morning, in order to help the students’ concentration. Lower level classes are in the morning, intermediate and higher classes are in the late morning or afternoon. Less concentration, but more sleep in the morning!
After the lessons
After classes there is a programme of visits, walks, meetings, aperitivos and events all around the city enabling students to meet and chat with Italian people outside of school.
