General Italian
Group Classes
Our courses are designed to help you steadily develop your listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills in a clear and progressive way.
All our teachers are Italian graduates with years of experience and specialised qualifications in teaching Italian as a foreign language. Their passion and expertise are well recognised in Dublin and beyond.
Each course follows the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), so you’ll always know exactly where you stand.
