Every year, in countries throughout the world, over two million people attend Italian language courses outside Italy.
Why?
Italian is a language of culture. Knowing Italian means having access to: a literary heritage that is of prime importance in European history; to humanistic and scientific texts of enormous value; and to Italian theatrical, musical, opera, film and television production.
Italian is a language of study. Every year thousands of people study Italian in schools, universities, institutes and libraries in Italy and throughout the world.
Italian is a language of work. Managers, investors, specialised technicians, workers, and labourers come into contact with the Italian industrial, artisan and services sector that has now crossed borders and become international.
Speaking Italian, visiting our country and meeting its hospitable people will be even more pleasant and will allow you to fully appreciate a way of life loved by everyone.
ASSESSMENT TEST: HERE
With the exception of the A1.1 course, if you have studied Italian elsewhere and intend to enroll in a higher level, you will need to complete an assessment test to determine the most appropriate level for you. This will help the Institute recommend the course that best suits your level of Italian.
You can also find a self-assessment guide on the website of the Council of Europe. This guide will help you to assess your level of proficiency in the languages you know according to six reference levels defined within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
