    Have you ever wanted to learn a new language? Have you tried online learning but it isn’t for you? If your answer is “yes” then why not try our Italian Conversation for Beginners course?

    This short course is aimed at learners with no prior/very little knowledge of Italian.

    There is a friendly classroom environment, where you will meet like-minded people.

    It is a quick, fun way to learn the basics of a new language, with the benefit of having an experienced tutor, who will give you instant feedback, guide you through the learning process and help you develop your skills and confidence.
