Courses There’s no better place to learn the Italian language than Italy! According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Italian is the fourth most commonly spoken language at home in America.Italy is world leader in many fields, from gastronomy to interior design, from fashion to graphic design and furniture, not to mention industrial sectors such as machine tool manufacture, robotics, electromechanical machinery, shipbuilding, space engineering, machinery manufacture and transportation equipment. Those who aspire to work in these fields will find it useful to study the Italian language and to learn something about Italian culture. Italy is one of the world’s eight largest economies. More and more companies are looking for staff who speak Italian. As the world economy moves ever closer to globalization, it’s becoming more and more important to be able to speak more than one language. Sorrento Lingue offers individual and group Italian language courses, as well as tailor-made programs for students with particular requirements (e.g. preparation for enrolment at an Italian university, Italian for business etc. …). As well as traditional classroom methods of education, Sorrento Lingue offers all students the chance to put their knowledge into practice through full immersion in an Italian environment, and constant contact with mother-tongue speakers. Not only is that the best way to develop a command of the language, it is also a real opportunity to make friends with Italians. We consider that to be one of the greatest advantages that an experience at our school can offer. Our students’ training includes constant assessment of the level of learning, using tests and exams to check progress, feedback sessions, and actual level achieved. Once the course is over, we will provide you with a certificate of attendance and instructions so that you can carry on your studies on your own.
