Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified Italian tutors at a time and location to suit you. Classes can take place any day, even weekends, and can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. If the case may be that your home or office is not convenient, there is always the option to take your classes at the office of your teacher. Study books for the lesson are provided.
Italian lessons 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.
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 lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
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 lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Italian Lessons or Small Group In-Company Italian Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Italian can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.

Mia zia Olga abita in campagna ed ha una fattoria.
Quando vado a trovarla, al mattino presto andiamo insieme nel pollaio per dare da mangiare alle galline e al gallo. Dopo andiamo dai conigli che mangiano l’insalata. Vicino ai conigli c’è la chioccia con i suoi pulcini, che pigolano quando hanno fame e freddo.
Nel pomeriggio andiamo alla stalla a mungere le mucche e a trovare uno dei vitellini appena nato. Dopo andiamo al pascolo con le pecore e il vecchio Billy, pastore tedesco della zia. Al rientro ci fermiamo a salutare le oche che fanno il bagno nello stagno. Vicino allo stagno c’è un porcile con dieci maiali e tre scrofe.
La sera diamo da mangiare al gatto che è stato tutto il giorno nel fienile. Lo zio torna stanco dai campi per aver spinto un asino tutto il giorno. Prima di andare a dormire andiamo a dare la buonanotte a Furia, il cavallo più bello e veloce che abbia mai visto.
