Italian language courses
We provide a large number of courses within both oral and written Italian. If you have Italian cooperation partners or customers, it may be a huge advantage to speak and write the language. Our professional instructors will give you a chance to learn and improve your Italian skills, regardless whether you are a beginner or have spoken the language for many years. Regardless of your level, the course will be tailored to cover your specific wishes and requirements so that you will benefit as much as possible from your time and efforts.
Courses with different focus points
Which skills would you like to improve? If you start from scratch, our Italian beginners’ course will be the obvious choice. But if you have some knowledge of the language and would like to concentrate on a specific focus area, our wide range of courses will be a huge advantage. Our course in Italian business language, conversation or telephone conversation may for example be the obvious choice for you if you have meetings or conversations with Italian customers. But if you want to be better at writing e-mails and communicate in writing in Italian, our secretarial course or our course in written Italian is a good choice.
