Piccola Università Italiana | Boutique Italian Language Schools in Fantastic Locations


B. COMPLETE COURSE

The Complete group course contains a grammar part and a conversational language course at our Italian language school, which are classical Italian language courses.

These classical Italian courses can be started every Monday. As in the other Italian language courses, each student takes a written and an oral test on the first morning of the course, so their level of competence in the Italian language can be defined precisely. This procedure guarantees the participants of our Italian courses a high efficiency of learning by placing them in one of our 15 efficiency level groups according to language competence.

The Complete course is the most favourite Italian course, booked by the majority of our students of all ages and all language levels.

 


Size of groups

The Complete courses are carried out in small groups of 3 to 8 course participants.

    Ich hatte 4 Stunden Unterricht: 2 Stunden Grammatik und 2 Stunden Konversation am Tag. Die Zeit verging sehr schnell und am Nachmittag war genügend Zeit für Aktivitäten, Schwimmen, Ausflüge. Es war super, Ferien und Schule kombiniert.

    Die Kurse waren anspruchsvoll aber haben auch Spaß gemacht.
    2 Stunden Grammatik und 2 Stunden Konversation pro Tag. Glücklicherweise hatte ich beide Kurse am Vormittag und genug Zeit zum Essen, Baden und für Ausflüge – sehr zu empfehlen!

    Exceptional quality language course by the sea. Highly recommend the school for those who would like to improve their Italian fast & easy. During my 2 weeks course I was pleasantly surprised how effectively it is organized & by the quality of the program overall. It takes you only 4 hours a day and you have plenty of time left to enjoy your vacation & discover diverse weekly cultural programs of the school or otherwise explore Tropea with its crystal clear water, sandy beaches & lovely local restaurants on your own.
