These Italian lessons 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 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.
The Italian lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Italian Lesson or Small Group In-Company Italian Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Italian Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.

Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City rose to prominence and the attention of the world in 2002 with their successful Winter Olympic games. In the international spotlight, Salt Lake City shone and has been a popular destination for a culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse population ever since. With the arrival of the cultures of the world comes the potential to learn the languages of the world; thus Salt Lake City is a prime location for language learners. The capital city of Utah and the 'Crossroads of the West', Salt Lake City has many Latino, Tongan, Samoan, Somali, Sudanese, Afghani, Bosnian, and Russian residents - and this is just a mere slice of the ethnic diversity to be found in Salt Lake City. There's so much potential in this land of opportunity!
