Our native speaker qualified Italian language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you. Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening. In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. Course books are provided.
This set of Italian tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Italian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Italian: enough Italian to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Italian culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Italian.
These Italian lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Italian to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
2 or more people can benefit studying Italian together as these Italian courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Italian Course or Small Group In-Company Italian Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Italian Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.
Residents of most Italian cities have their own distinctive accents and dialects
Italian is a popular language around the world in schools, but is rarely taught as a second language
Italian uses the same alphabet as English, without the letters J, K, W, X and Y - though these letters still appear in loan words

Dallas
Forget the soap opera stereotypes of businessmen in cowboy boots and women with big hair; the reality of Dallas is much more than the greedy schemes of wealthy oil barons. Due to twentieth century growth in size and importance, this Texan city has changed its character. With almost a quarter of the diverse population of Dallas born overseas, this means awesome opportunities for language learners! What better way to study than with a native speaking language teacher? Dallas city and suburbs can offer it all in terms of locally-based qualified trainers, experienced in teaching in their mother tongue. Spanish, German, Polish, Romanian and Russian speaking communities are all well-represented in Dallas, as are Arabic, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and Bengali. They don't say 'Live Large. Think Big' in Dallas without good reason - for where learning languages are concerned, the possibilities are virtually unlimited!
