Description

What are the contents and objectives of the course?

The course will help you improve your four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. You will focus on the practical aspects of the language that are useful in everyday life, developing your spoken Italian skills and deepening your knowledge of Italian culture.

Italian lessons combine communication and grammar in an ideal way, and at all levels, you will always use Italian in class. A lot of time will be spent expanding your vocabulary so that you can speak Italian more fluently. If you are a beginner, you will start learning Italian from the basics and see progress after just a few weeks. If you already have some knowledge of the language, the content will be adapted to your course level, from A1 to C2.

It takes an average of 6 weeks to complete each level, but you may need more time for the higher levels. The cooking lessons will allow you to learn the basics of Italian dishes, perfect your culinary skills and discover both traditional regional recipes and new trends in Italian cuisine.

How does the course work?

You will join a group of up to 10 people in a comfortable and relaxed environment. In the afternoon, you will have two cooking classes at a cooking school, where you will have fun under the guidance of expert chefs.

We will provide you with the textbook and all the necessary materials, including recipes for the dishes you will be cooking. The teacher will use an iPad, and after each class, you will receive a PDF with the contents. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance.

In the afternoon or during the weekend, if you wish, you can take part in our activities (three per week), organised and led by the school’s teaching staff. You will make new friends, get to know Florence and its surroundings better, explore different aspects of Italian culture and have fun while practising the language.
