Beginners Course

Our beginners Italian course is designed as a taster course to build the skills and confidence needed to speak and understand simple Italian in predictable everyday situations. A range of audio-visual materials will be used to introduce topics and situations which a visitor to a Italian-speaking country might typically find themselves in.

The course aims to provide the basic language tools and vocabulary for you to ask for help or describe what you want, and to understand the gist of what you hear. You will be given lots of opportunity to practise basic conversational exchanges, to realise that making mistakes is all part of learning a language and that the ability to speak a little of a language can make a big difference to your overall experience.
