Benvenuti! Fall Session: In person and Zoom: Oct 26th - Dec 11th
Learn Italian language in Naples with native-speaking instructors, attend optional dinners to practice your skills, with a supportive organization of Italophiles.
Get ready for your next adventure abroad!
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. Note: there are no classes Thanksgiving week.
To help you choose the course best suited to your skill level: please take the free Italian placement test.
