ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES 

The attendance of the Art Courses requires a medium level knowledge of Italian. The students who wish to better their level of Italian Language could attend an intensive Italian Course one month before the Art Courses begin. Our language courses togheter form a carefully articulated teaching program and are taught at two levels:

Elementary (EI) and Intermediate (II).

Each level follows its own programme which gradually leads the student to a basic knowledge of Italian grammatical structures and syntax. Particular care is taken to widen the student's correct pronunciation. This is developed through phonetic exercises under the guidance of specialist teachers.

 
EI - ELEMENTARY ITALIAN COURSE: 80 hours per month, 4 hours per day, 5 days per week.
An intensive course with language in the morning and cultural events or discussion in the afternoon.
II - INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN COURSE: 80 hours per month, 4 hours per day, 5 days per week.
An intensive course with language in the morning and cultural events or discussion in the afternoon.
