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 lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
These lessons in Italian are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Italian to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the lesson can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Italian history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Italian, this is the choice for you.
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 lessons 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 lesson 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.
Lessons in Italian are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Italian Lesson or Small Group In-Company Italian Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Italian sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.

Lincoln
There are over 200,000 people living in Lincoln, Nebraska many of whom are teaching or studying at the town's world famous state university. How serious is Lincoln, Nebraska about its football? When the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play on Saturday, the city becomes one of the most populous in the Midwest. But there's a lot more to Lincoln that just football. The university there is without peer among its contemporaries, which makes for a surprisingly large international community smack dab in the middle of the American heartland. With so many students coming from around the world to study abroad in Lincoln, there is a surprisingly high value to learning a foreign language there. Students arrive in Lincoln from the Pacific Rim, Europe and Africa bringing their language and unique culture with them. In order to communicate more effectively with all these interesting individuals, one should consider learning a foreign language. Who knows, the academic tone of the city may inspire a visit to another country around the world.
