Course Overview

Are you interested in improving your Italian skills to visit Italy, to connect with your legacy or to open yourself to a new cultural experience? This course is focused on everyday subjects especially regarding past events, lifestyles, and travelling.

The live interaction with the instructor and classmates promotes an active process of discovery of the language and culture: you´ll listen, speak and write in a playful, friendly and cooperative learning atmosphere. We use various methods (interactive online puzzles, games and contests), role-playing in a virtual classroom and settings closer to the everyday life of native speakers.
