Intensive Italian course

Piccola Università Italiana - Le Venezie - Culture and Dolce Vita
Piccola Università Italiana - Tropea - The Italian language school by the sea

The intensive course at our Italian language school is a classic Italian language courses, which can be started every Monday. The intensive course consists of the standard course in mini-groups + 6 private lessons per week.

As in the other Italian language courses, each student takes a written and an oral test on the first morning of the course so his/her level of competence in the Italian language can be defined precisely.

This procedure guarantees the participants of our Italian courses a high efficiency of learning by being placed in one of our 15 language levels according to language competence.

  • Lesson content:
Your individual needs are focused on in these lessons ie;an individual lesson programme is put together for you at the start of your course.

The focus of the lessons is on the structure and rules of grammar, practical exercises such as forming sentences, games, quizzes and written texts, expanding vocabulary and idioms, reading texts about various topics of Italian culture, such as cooking, wine, music, cinema, doing roleplays, conversation and practising the different aspects of communication, direct listening and analysis of the different faces and facets of Italy.

For participants at intermediate and advanced levels current newspaper reports are also used. Discussions are held on topics such as art, culture, current affairs, politics and society. Lessons are normally divided into 2 units of grammar and 2 units of conversation, so the language student optimally gets to know and deepens his knowledge in the four pillars of language: speaking, understanding, reading, writing!
