Our native-speaking qualified Italian teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Italian courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.
Those who would benefit the most from these Italian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Italian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as survival Italian should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Italian, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Italian courses can also be made available for Two-to-One Italian Courses or Small Group In-Company Italian Courses. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster courses in Italian can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Italian is the closest to Latin in terms of vocabulary, out of all the Romance tongues

Italian uses the same alphabet as English, without the letters J, K, W, X and Y - though these letters still appear in loan words

Anchorage
With over 250,000 residents, Anchorage is home to almost half of the entire population of Alaska. One of the most beautiful cities in the world, there are over 200 recognized mountains and 30 lakes within a 50 miles radius of Anchorage. And in terms of sheer size, it is hard to beat as it is as big as the entire state of Delaware. Home to Alaskan natives, a thriving Hispanic community and even a number of individuals from Korea and Japan, Anchorage is a small-scale 'Tower of Babel' set in an icy climate to the northwest of the continental United States. With commerce that spans everywhere from Russia to the Pacific Rim, and a unique mixture of different nationalities, those who are tough enough to live in Anchorage can benefit greatly from learning a foreign language. Need more proof? Consider this: 94 different languages are spoken in the Anchorage School District.
