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.
This set of Italian tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Italian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Italian: enough Italian to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Italian culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Italian.
These Italian Lessons 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 lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communications as well as Survival Italian required for short visits to a 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.

Minneapolis
The primary business hub between Chicago and Seattle, Minneapolis is the largest city in the state of Minnesota. The three prime factors of business contacts, population size and diverse waves of immigration combine to make Minneapolis an ideal location to embrace learning a new language! The history of immigration to Minneapolis is unquestionably rich. Mid-nineteenth century arrivals originated from the Scandinavian nations of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and later an abundance of immigrants settled in Minneapolis from Greece, Italy, Poland and Germany. The city now hosts a sizeable population of Russian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Korean communities, as well as groups from Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and throughout Africa. Talk about ethnic diversity - and just think what this means for the possibility of talking another language!
