(openPR) - The standard Italian Language and Culture course at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is ideal for anyone wanting to stay in Italy and, by learning the language, understand Italian society, culture and traditions, and the wealth of Italy’s historic and artistic heritage.

The Italian language standard course - www.scuolaleonardo.com/Italian-language-general-courses.h...Standard-Italian-Language-course - with its 20 lessons per week allows intensive language assimilation whilst at the same time offering enough freedom for individual or organized leisure activities.

It is suitable for people of all ages, lasting as many weeks as the student chooses (minimum one week) and covering all levels of the European Language Portfolio (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).

On the first day of the Standard course, a written and oral placement test is given to all students who have some knowledge of Italian. Completion of each proficiency level corresponds to a four week Italian Standard Course, paying particular attention to communication.

Class work typically includes: role-play activities, oral presentation, drama and other effective teaching techniques. From the start students explore different aspects of Italian life and culture.

Our enthusiast and versatile teaching staff are competent in encouraging students to participate and improve their practical language skills. The friendly atmosphere and life of the school help everybody feel part of a small community.
