Who is this course for?

This course offers you a complete study experience. You’ll be able to reach an advanced level of Italian and, if you wish, obtain an officially recognized Italian language certification. At the end of, or during, the Italian course, you can do an internship that combines language study with a work experience. You’ll live in the city just like a Florentine, getting used to our lifestyle — and perhaps even to our accent. We recommend this course if your goal is to learn Italian up to an advanced level and if you want to make Italy your second home, at least for a while.

Description

What are the contents and objectives of the course?

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

The Italian lessons combine communication and grammar in an ideal combination and, at all levels, you will always use the Italian language in class. Plenty of space will be dedicated to expanding your vocabulary to speak Italian more fluently. If you are a beginner, you will start learning Italian from the basics and you will see progress already after the first weeks. If you already have knowledge of the language, the contents will be suited to the level of your course, from A1 to C2. To complete each level you will need on average 6 weeks, but you may need more time for the higher levels.

How does the course work?

You’ll join a group of up to 10 people in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

We’ll provide you with the textbook and all necessary materials. The teacher will use an iPad, and after each lesson, you’ll receive a PDF with the contents covered. At the end of the course, you’ll receive a certificate of attendance.

If you’d like to do an internship, we can organize it for you through our collaboration with agencies accredited by the Tuscany Region. The structure of the internship depends on its duration and your area of interest.

If you wish to obtain an Italian language diploma, we’ll prepare you for the CILS certification, which you can take directly at our school.
