The classes take place Monday to Friday and last at least two weeks.

On the first day of the course the students will write an entry-level test to evaluate their knowledge of Italian in order to form homogeneous classes.


There are four levels:

1. Beginner Italian: for beginning Italian students without a previous knowledge of the language. Aim: To be able to use Italian in simple, daily life situations.

2. Elementary Italian: for students who already have a beginner level of Italian grammar structures. Aim: to be able to express themselves in different contexts through the widening of grammar and vocabulary knowledge.

3. Intermediate level: for those students who have a good vocabulary base and a good knowledge of the language’s structure. Aim: to be able to have a fluent and correct conversation in order to express correctly their opinions on current topics.

4. Advanced level: for those students who have already mastered Italian but wish to express themselves in a more correct and suitable way. Particular attention will be given to written expression and to different aspects of the language, according to the students’ interests.

Our method is based on a communicative-situational approach that aims to acquire the communicative competence through the promotion of the four basic skills at the same time (the ability to listen, speak, read, and write to understand and be understood), as outlined by the Council of Europe in the Common European Framework of Reference.
