You speak no Italian but you would love to learn some basics?
Learn how to get by in Italian in just a few hours

Not only will you learn some basics Italian language but you can also learn about Italian culture: film, literature, history, art, theatre, music, cooking.

One-on-one or small group lessons.

Fear not if your Italian goes no further than "Ciao Bella" , because we speak English as well!
This is what we suggest for a head start in Italian!
FIRST suggestion: Picking and ordering typical Roman and Italian dishes at restaurants and pizzerias.

SECOND suggestion: Shopping for groceries, clothing, etc. at the market and in the most typical streets of Rome.

THIRD suggestion: Basic information about the most typical Italian habits: cappuccino and cornetto at the bar, debating sports and politics, the streets, bars and pubs that Romans go to, etc.

  • Each one of these "survival" lessons is at least three hours long. They may be held at a pub/wine store in Rome or in your own apartment, and they will help you survive in the Eternal City!

  • This is just a suggestion for what your Italian course may be like. You may choose one, two or all of these lessons, or even decide to have a different kind of lesson. You are the one who chooses!
