Italian Lessons In Italy
Students take a placement test in order to be placed at an appropriate level.
There are seven levels: beginner, elementary, pre intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced and proficiency according to European standards.
- Our classes are very small (max. 10 people) and no matter the location are held in the city centre. We feel that small class sizes are essential to facilitate the learning process and ensure that focus is placed on the learning requirements of the individual student, and on helping him/her to overcome any difficulties in a friendly environment. The range of courses offered allows the student to adapt the programme to their individual needs.
- Our Italian language courses start every Monday. Each student is encouraged to take a short test before starting a course so that his/her language needs can be ascertained, and it can be ensured that they are placed in a group of a similar level of ability and knowledge. On completion of a course the student will be awarded an attendance certificate; in addition, the students are also offered the opportunity to take the officially recognised tests.
