ITALIAN PROFICIENCY PREPARATORY COURSE

Are you planning to attend an Italian Proficiency test?

We have been preparing students and professionals willing to attend master or doctoral level courses, which often demand Italian as a foreign language.
Beyond CILS and CELI, which are internationally known and accepted certifications, some universities have their own Italian proficiency tests.

We also have intensive courses for those in a hurry, willing to learn and translate Italian texts. It is possible to learn from zero and to be able to read, translate and understand in a few months. Some very dedicated students had great results within 1 month.

So if you are looking for a preparatory course here you can find teachers able to help you. Don't be afraid just start learning Italian now.

Take this hints:

- study the irregular verbs complete conjugation (and translate it)
- make a glossary with the most important expressions you find (we have a specific and big one for our students)
- keep translating texts of your interest, from Italian to English, or whatever your mother tongue is.

That's it!
Remember no one can do it for you.
Just start it! Just get your eyes on the letters.

And call us for further help. We'll take you there!
