Teaching
methods
From the very first day of class, we speak only Italian.
But don’t worry! Our teachers are specially prepared to communicate
in a way that is both fun and easy to understand thanks to our methods
and teaching materials, developed over our fifteen years of experience.
While oral communication is the main objective of our courses, it
is also necessary to touch upon areas of Italian grammar. This will
by no means be dull though.
We include newspaper articles, audiovisuals and entertaining games
to encourage our students to get to know each other, engage in discussion
and fall in love with Italy.
The maximum number of students per class is eight, though there
are often only four or five: enough space for everyone to participate
and get to know each other.
What do we ask of you? Only a little curiosity, enthusiasm and group
spirit.
