Approach

During the lessons you will practice the grammar lessons from the book under the guidance of an experienced teacher. For many assignments you work in pairs, giving feedback on each other’s work. This way you actively practice speaking, writing and understanding and also learn from other students.

Teaching Materials

You will work with “Allegro nuovo 1” (work and textbook). The material helps you to apply grammar, vocabulary and practical language skills directly in recognizable situations. Before the start of the course, we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials so that you can start your lesson well prepared.

Teachers

You will be taught by an experienced teacher who will guide you step by step as you learn Italian. You will receive targeted feedback on your language usage, grammar and communication. You will also gain insight into Italian culture and customs so that the language really comes alive.

Certificate of Participation

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Italian language level suits me?

To make sure you enrol at the right level, you can take our free placement test. This test will help you assess your current level of Italian. Once you’ve completed it, the test will be marked by one of our experienced teachers, who will provide you with personalised feedback. That way, you’ll know exactly which level suits you best.

Can I make up a missed Italian class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently, so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay for my Italian course in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.

What are the advantages of a group language course?

A group language course offers the opportunity to learn and practice with others. You benefit from interactive lessons, learn from the questions and experiences of fellow students, and have plenty of opportunity to use the language actively. In addition, the group dynamic often provides extra motivation and a pleasant learning environment.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom is a live online language course in which you take lessons together with a teacher and other students. You participate via Zoom or Teams, for example, and actively practice during the lesson. This combines the interaction of a group lesson with the convenience of online learning. Many students choose this form because of its flexibility.
