These Italian courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Italian - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Italian culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Italian examination.
These Italian courses are intended for people who really need to learn Italian to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communications as well as Survival Italian required for short visits to a 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.

Laval
More than just a cool palindrome, Laval is also the second biggest city in the Montreal province of Canada, with a population last counted at 375,000 people. Considered a suburb of Montreal, Laval is a quiet town where people who want a little more elbow room that they may find in the big city come to live and raise their families. The city has always been connected to Montreal as that city's fortunes improved with new industries and additional tourism, so too did Laval's. Why take the time to learn a new language in Laval? Recent surveys found that English, French, Arabic, Italian, Greek or Armenian were spoken by a significant percentage of the population. To keep up with the unique mixture of people in Laval, you're going to have to start by building your language skills!
