Our language courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages, recognizing three competence levels (A, B, C), each subdivided into two, for a total of six levels. We teach one level per year. Each class uses a textbook in addition to instructor selections. Conversation will become gradually more complex, and grammar will progress logically. Sessions consist of one 90-minute class per week for six weeks.
To help you choose the course best suited to your skill level: please take the free Italian placement test.
