Hi John,
From the first day on, at all levels, only Italian will be spoken.

The spoken language is the most important part of the tuition.

Continually promoting the use of verbal communication permits you to learn Italian 'naturally', to unite theory and practice with no great problems and to increase your knowledge quickly and with confidence.

You are encouraged to practice your spoken Italian in real-life situations, with your teacher, and with other participants, in pairs and groups.

In advanced courses the written language will also be promoted.
