LEVELS

Italian language lessons at Sant'Anna Institute-Sorrento Lingue are designed to allow students, professionals and those who are learning simply for fun, to develop a full command of the language, based on the four main skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. The courses are practical, stimulating and interactive, and make use of didactic materials taken not only from text books, but from everyday life as well (e.g. newspaper articles, magazines, videos and music CDs), all of which will help you to achieve a working level of competence in the language. The general objective is for you to be able to communicate, deal with the most common, everyday situations, and express what you want to say in your interactions with Italians.
