The intensive face-to-face courses allow participants to learn and certify a level of Italian in four months. The orientation of the intensive courses is communicative, both in the objectives and in the methodology used. This means that in addition to rigorous training in grammar, these courses provide students with the resources needed to communicate correctly and appropriately in Italian in different areas. In class, participants will intensively practice oral expression as well as written expression.

Take advantage of this year to learn Italian with native teachers, quality and university accreditation, and face-to-face!

Our courses are open to everyone. We look forward to seeing you!
