AM: Italian language group lessons (classes determined by placement test)

Afternoon or evening: A social and cultural activity programme. Programme itinerary subject to change

Group lessons follow the Standard Course format

Open to students of all language levels, these courses concentrate on developing general language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) and are always held in Italian.

These short term Italian courses are aimed at those who need to build on current skills or who want to learn Italian in Milan, from scratch on an Italian immersion course, with their peers.

Older adults are placed in classes together wherever viable, however if necessary a student/s is placed in a class with a mixed aged group to ensure the language tuition is appropriate for their skill level.
