At the A2 CEFR level, learners can understand sentences and commonly used expressions related to everyday topics. They communicate in simple and routine tasks, exchanging information on familiar subjects, and describe personal background and immediate surroundings.
Are you a teacher seeking to begin learning Italian, whether for professional development, travel, or personal reasons?
This elementary Italian language course is perfect for you!
This course will bring a new perspective to your teaching career by allowing you to see the learning process from a student’s perspective, and critically evaluate your professional approach.
The language classes consist of 20 morning lessons, tailored to your current language proficiency and needs.

Our teachers, who are highly qualified and native Italian speakers, use a relaxed teaching style to make the lessons enjoyable and interactive.
