A1 is the level that identifies a first approach to the new language. Students will be exposed to the basic communications of Italian: from reading to listening, from writing to speaking. 360 degrees of the basic kit you will need to interact in Italy: introducing yourself, asking for directions, booking a hotel, catching a train or a bus (we may skip the taxi! In Italy taxis are too expensive :), learn to handle a conversation in the present tense and a first step into the past form… everything with a pinch of Italian flavor!
Outcome
A1 level will allow you to handle every daily basic situation.
Please note that this level is for those students who have already compelted A1.1.

Me and my friend were really interested in studying Italian, so we came across the Cultural Centre. When I visited the campus for the first time, I liked the ambiance and there was something about this place that made me want to connect to it more. Italian at the centre is taught in a very active way and the teachers constantly communicate with the students which really makes sure that each one of us has completely understood the concept. The best thing about their methods is to incorporate a lot of activities which make the learning fun and exciting!
I enjoy learning Italian from the teachers at the IIC as they are very good at explaining and helping us to understand each and every topic. I would highly recommend Italian Embassy Cultural Centre to anyone willing to learn Italian.
I am a student at Istituto Italiano di Cultura. I was very interested in learning Italian language when I found this place online. I started my course in April. The ambiance is very nice and they have a beautiful Italian cafeteria! Teachers here are very gentle and sweet and they make teaching very enjoyable. I love to come here everyday to study Italian.
