Evening course
Don’t let your schedule prevent you from learning Italian! The semi-intensive evening course is for you!
Our semi-intensive course takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6:45pm to 8:30pm, and is the perfect option if you are busy during the day.
Our innovative teaching method guarantees fast, effective learning with two weekly meetings, all in a familiar and relaxed atmosphere.
Our programmes focus on the group and its needs, speaking fluency, and precision of expression. Join us for a unique learning experience!
Moreover, getting to our school by public transport is child’s play! You can forget all about traffic and parking problems and can concentrate on studying.
TEACHING METHOD
We have based our teaching on the latest neuroscience studies, according to which “the greater the activation of sensory and cognitive parts, the greater the memory”.
We encourage students to use Italian as their language of communication, boosting all skills, through techniques for developing linguistic processes in situational, cultural and playful lessons in real-life contexts.
Target
We believe that a good mix in our classes can boost students’ learning, not only linguistically but also culturally.
The exchange between people of different ages and backgrounds encourages doubts and questions, and having different skills allows them to help each other, stimulating conversation and creating an ever-changing environment.
This is why our courses are aimed at adults of all ages, backgrounds and levels, whose goal is to learn Italian.
This course is for you if you are busy during the day or prefer a brisk but cadenced pace.
Frequency
Course on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:45pm to 8:25pm (2 x 50-minute lessons)
Teaching quality is very important to us, as is putting each individual student at the centre of the training, which is why our classes have a limited number of participants.
Classes are formed by our pool of experts, who assess each student in their entirety, not only according to their entrance test, but also according to their goals, progress and needs. The course provides lessons tailored to the actual level of the class, with differentiated teaching that is attentive to the needs of the individual, with the aim of enhancing everyone’s skills.
The Evening course is offered for all levels (from absolute beginners to intermediate and advanced) and enables all levels of language competence of the Common European Framework: A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2.

HOW TO REGISTER
ENTRANCE TEST
Regarding the enrolment level, we prefer to personally assess your knowledge rather than offer you a standard solution.
For this reason, we ask you to take an entrance test that helps us to understand not only your level of knowledge but also your degree of understanding/familiarity with the language.
This information will then be analysed by our pool of teachers, who will then identify the best class for your knowledge and goals.
The entrance test is divided into two parts:
(a) First written component
The written test allows for verification of:
- the level of written comprehension (which may not correspond to the level of knowledge of grammatical structures, or to the competency in writing);
- The level of knowledge of grammatical structures;
- The skill level in written production.
(b) Second oral component
The interview, which takes place after the written test, aims at a global evaluation of the candidate.
Determined throughout the interview is:
- the data resulting from the written test;
- an evaluation of oral comprehension and production;
- a verification of the applicant’s current understanding of language skills;
- a determination of the candidate’s objectives.
- The application form must be fully filled out and returned at least 1 month before the course starts; 2 months in advance for students inhabiting in overseas and who need a student visa to enter Switzerland; Any time if the foreign student is already present in Switzerland and whom the law permits (in specific cases) to request his staying permit in our country or to convert his current permit to study permit “L” (in case of delay, please contact the School).
- Payment in advance is requested for the whole period of studies. A copy of the effected payment of the invoiced amount must be handed in to the school or transmitted by electronic means.
