You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Italian teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the course at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant course materials.
These Italian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Italian by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Italian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Italian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Italian exam.
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.
Those wishing to learn Italian in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Italian Courses or Small Group In-Company Italian Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Italian proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Italian Courses can occur with up to 12 people.

Honolulu
The commerce capital of the Hawaiian Islands, Honolulu may look, at first glance, like any other bustling American city. But closer inspection reveals a place that has both accepted its relatively new American status, but stayed true to the native roots that have helped the islands thrive and survive for generations. The primary industry in Honolulu is tourism, with millions of people flying in every year to enjoy the tropical climate. The number one tourist attraction in the city is the Pearl Harbor Memorial, which commemorates the bombing of American troops there (and led to America's entrance into WWII). There are hundreds of foreign languages that can benefit you in Honolulu, but Japanese is a great place to start. Japanese tourists and businesspeople make up a significant percentage of the community on any given day, so speaking the language is a potential benefit.
