The Standard course has something to offer students of the Italian language no matter what their level might be since groups are divided from Beginner (A1), all the way up to Expert (C2). As the approach taken on this course is general in nature, you will cover all the skills related to reading, listening, speaking, grammar, and so on.
Lessons run from Monday to Friday, with 20 taking place per week - 50 minutes each. If you have some level of Italian already, then it’s possible to start this course on almost any Monday of the year. Those who would describe themselves as absolute beginners can start the course once per month.
You will be asked to take a placement test after signing up, in order to assign you to your initial group level.
Groups are heterogeneous, multilingual, and small: this helps ensure the students are given personal attention and the opportunity for self-expression.
The communicative method allows students to express themselves in Italian from the very first moment: the use of techniques like role-playing and real-life situations simulated in class enables our students to work in an entertaining and always relaxing atmosphere, an essential requirement to express themselves in a spontaneous way.
For those who need to go through a level and face the following one, we suggest an avarage period of 4/6 weeks of study, though we do not ask for any minimal specific lenght.
The school provides students with
- all books and teaching materials
- a free conversation class in the afternoon
- teacher/tutor to understand and solve any issue you may have during the course
- final certificate of attendance
