Since the school is a small one, the atmosphere is friendly and quite informal. Classes are kept small, allowing more teacher-student interaction, which is of the utmost importance when learning a language. The Basic Course 15 hours of lessons per week. This is the minimum number of hours Dante Alighieri offers on a group language course. It is designed for those who wish to have as much free time as possible.
Students study a mixture of grammar and conversation.
The Standard Course 20 hours of group lessons per week. This course permits students to study general Italian language from 9.00 to 13.30 in the morning and leave afternoons free to take part in the school's social activity program, to study independently, etc. The last hour of each morning is dedicated to workshops in which students study two of the four basic language skills in greater depth - either speaking and listening or reading and writing.
