Benvenuti! Fall Session 2024 – In person and Zoom: Oct 21st to Dec 6th
Learn Italian Language in Naples! Enhance your travel enjoyment and make new friends.
Note that all of our instructors are certified instructors.
We have revamped our language courses following Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. CEFR recognizes three competence levels (A, B, C), each subdivided into two, for a total of six levels. We will teach one level per year; for example, A1 (1.1), (1.2), (1.3) followed by a review, 1R. Each class will work with a textbook in addition to selections by the instructor. Conversation will become gradually more complex, and grammar will progress logically. Sessions consist of one 90-minute class per week for six weeks. All of our instructors are educators and most are native Italian speakers.
Fee: $75 for ICS Members and $85 for non-members. No refunds after the first week of class.
