Italian lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.
These lessons in Italian are meant for those that feel that learning Italian would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communicating, as well as survival Italian if a short visit to the country is needed.
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.

Windsor
Separated from the United States by only the Detroit River, Windsor has benefitted greatly from its relationship with their neighbor to the south. The city of Windsor is big by most standards, with over 400,000 residents taking advantage of the thriving business community and local culture. Tourists come from around Canada and the United States to enjoy the nightlife in Windsor and the natural beauty of the waterfalls and other outdoor attractions. In fact, those coming from Detroit, Michigan need only take a brisk walk across a bridge to get there! Windsor's population is made up of locals and a large proportion of immigrants who come from all over the world in search of a better life. With such a multi-cultural, transient population, different languages are going to be commonplace in Windsor. Learning Arabic, Chinese, French or even English can go a long way in this fascinating border town.
