THE SCHOOL · OUR METHOD

Our teaching method: direct and full of life.

We teach Italian the way adults really learn a language: by using it from the first hour, in real situations, with native-speaker teachers who know how to guide you gently through the pleasant discomfort of speaking a new language. Our method is communicative and built on immersion from day one: in the classroom we speak Italian, even with absolute beginners, because it is the quickest and happiest route to fluency.

Our method: "direct" and full of life

Italian from the first minute

In the classroom we speak Italian. Even A1.1 students listen to and use Italian from the very first lesson: our teachers are trained to make meaning clear without slipping into English. You will be surprised by how much you can understand.

Role play, films, conversation

Role play, dramatisations, class discussions, group work, films watched together and discussed. We build the language by living it: linguistic, sociolinguistic, paralinguistic and cultural skills woven together, never grammar drilled in isolation.

Small groups: everyone speaks

Each class has 4 to 12 students at the same level. Everyone speaks every day. If we cannot fill a level with at least 4 students, we merge classes or offer a one-to-one alternative: no one is left behind in the back row.

A short test every 4 weeks

Every four weeks you test yourself with a friendly exam, to check you are ready to move up to the next level. You advance when you are ready, never when the calendar says so. This is how a beginner can finish a 12-week course with a documented B1.
