Our Italian speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
Book now / InquiryThese courses in Italian are meant for those that feel that learning Italian would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communicating, as well as survival Italian if a short visit to the country is needed.
Book now / InquiryThese Italian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Italian by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Italian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Italian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Italian exam.

Las Vegas
The city of Las Vegas, situated in the state of Nevada has an unusual history, having originally been part of Mexico until it was annexed by the US in 1855. Its array of lavish hotels and casinos has led to it being labeled the 'entertainment capital of the world'. The most famous of these casinos are situated on Las Vegas Boulevard and are the perfect place to go if you have a few spare dollars in your pocket and enjoy the rush of a spot of blackjack, poker or roulette. If gambling is not your thing, Vegas has plenty more to offer - the city also has a rich and diverse artistic community. 'First Friday' is a must-see event, which takes place on the first Friday of each month in the Downtown Arts District, where local artists and musicians perform to crowds and passers-by. All these attractions added to the fantastic climate of hot summers, mild winters and year-round sunshine make Vegas a great destination to learn a foreign language.
