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.
Italian lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Italian to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Italian, as well as survival Italian should a short stay in the country be needed.
2 or more people can benefit studying Italian together as these Italian lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Italian Lesson or Small Group In-Company Italian Lesson). 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 Lessons can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Vaughan
Known as 'the city above Toronto', Vaughan is one of the fastest growing areas in Canada. As Toronto continues to thrive and cement its reputation as a true world city, Vaughan is moving forward as well, enjoying the 'spillover' effect from its larger neighbor to the south. Several of the top 500 companies in Canada have chosen Vaughan as their home base, including everything from heavy machinery manufactures to automotive parts companies. They were attracted to Vaughan by its proximity to Toronto, and the relatively low cost of doing business there. The population of Vaughan is unique, with over 20% of the community coming from South Asia, Pakistan, India or other parts of the world. With so much international activity at the community and business levels, learning a new language in Vaughan is one of the best things residents can do to improve their own careers and education.
