Our Italian speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided 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 also has many speaking communities in Africa; especially in Ethiopia, Somalia, Somaliland and Eritrea
A Romance language used by around 63 million people around the world, Italian is primarily spoken in Italy and regions of Switzerland
Residents of most Italian cities have their own distinctive accents and dialects

Guelph
Known as 'The Royal City', Guelph has 200,000 residents, a low crime rate, clean streets and one of the highest standards of living in all of Canada. The city is built above a series of detailed waterways. In fact, it is believed that over a million rivers come to a convergence beneath the downtown area of Guelph alone. Water isn't the only thing flowing through Guelph. Money has found its way into the community as well, thanks to a progressive strategy put in place by civic leaders that has focused on attracting bio-engineering and genetic technology companies into the city. The strategy has worked, and as a result there are now a variety of languages being spoken throughout the downtown area. Mix in the 10% of the community that claim themselves as 'minorities' and it easy to see why learning a language in Guelph is a great investment.
