Our Courses

ITALIAN COURSES ACCORDING TO YOUR TASTE

Our italian language courses focus on the learner and the knowledge and language skills they might already have acquired. The students attending our Italian courses learn to express themselves correctly, effectively and without fear. They learn how Italian is spoken and used in real life and in daily situations. Furthermore they will get to know Italians and their way of life, as well as their culture and traditions.

we stay flexible

Our main concern is the students’ satisfaction and their maximum progress. For that reason we chose a flexible class design which enables us to meet more effectively the needs and requirements of a diverse group as well as of the individual within a group.

The small class size (4-5 students on average and a maximum of 8) allows the teacher to monitor every participant with particular care. It also guarantees that each student gets individual attention and has the chance to actively participate.

while you are at Culturforum

On the first day at Culturforum the students are welcomed by the director and the staff of the school. They take a preliminary test (a written grammar test and an interview) to identify their general knowledge and the skills they need to improve. Moreover the test determines the current level of each student and which Italian course they will join at Cultuforum.

Our classes take place in the morning from Monday to Friday. The afternoons are free for the students to socialise, to take part in excursions and free time activities organised by our language school or to enjoy the wonderful beach.

The school is open throughout the year and it is possible to start a new course on every Monday except absolute beginner courses (please refer to Starting Dates)

Each one-hour lesson runs for 60 minutes.
