Intermediate Italian courses in Sicilia are for students who can speak Italian with confidence. This course is ideal for students who have the vocabulary and know the grammar needed to talk and read about a wide variety of subjects in Italian. It is for students who can describe experiences and events, explain their opinions, and talk about plans.
The standard Italian language course is suitable for students who wish to improve their overall level of Italian, practising the four basic skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as widen their vocabulary and their understanding of grammar rules.
Particular emphasis is placed on the spoken Italian language to cover a wide range of day-to-day communicative situations.
The Intensive Course Plus, (6 lessons a day), will appeal to students of all levels.
The course is adapted for those who want to fully immerse themselves in learning the language by adding two supplementary lessons per day to the Standard Course.
The individual lessons will appeal to students of all linguistic levels. We recommend these courses to those who have specific needs and/or want to either learn or perfect their knowledge of Italian at their own pace.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
