Course description

BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is the right balance between your study and free time!

This course is a comprehensive course including language and conversation sessions for 12 hours per week. BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is the perfect solution if you wish to attend an Italian Language Group Course but also have free time during the week to add private sessions, to explore the area or just relax.

BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is open to students of all levels, age and mother tongue who wish to understand, speak, read and write Italian.

Classes are intentionally small to guarantee individual attention to all students. Groups are evenly formed depending on students’ previous knowledge of the Italian language. For this reason, you will be invited to complete a placement test, if you are not a total beginner. We suggest combining your BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course with private sessions in the afternoon if you want to privately consolidate what you have learned during your group classes or if you have specific needs.

At the end of your course, you can take a final exam to attest the linguistic level you reached. Centro Studi Italiani will release a certificate that you can use for your job or University credits.
