General Italian

Who is this course for?

This course offers you a complete study experience. You will be able to reach an advanced level of Italian and, if you wish, obtain an officially recognised Italian language certificate. At the end of or during the Italian course, you can do an internship that combines language study with work experience. You will live in the city like a Florentine, adapting to our lifestyle and perhaps even our accent. We recommend this course if your goal is to learn Italian at 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 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.

How does the course work?

You will 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 class, you will receive a PDF with the contents. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance.

If you wish to undertake an internship, we can arrange this 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 will prepare you for the CILS certification, which you can take directly at our school.
