One-to-one General/Business
Italian Course in Cork
Whether you want Italian lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.
While a General Italian course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses are great for those whose career will be moving overseas - you would learn the fundamental protocols for engaging in business in Italian, and later would start to focus more on the integral skills of reading and writing.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.
We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses in Italian suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Italian is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Italian culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

City information
The city of Cork and its surrounding area is home to around 300,000 people, and is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. Often seen as something of a 'rebel' county, native Cork residents have their own distinctive accent, dialect and vocabulary, tending to be higher in pitch than most Irish accents; and often compared with Liverpudlian accents due to the long-standing rate of immigration to Liverpool from Cork.
Home of the Blarney Stone, Cork is a terrific place to pick up a new language, having long stood as a centre for immigration in the region - around 20% of the city's population was born outside Ireland. This cultural diversity means more native speakers of other languages in the region, giving plenty of reasons to study a new tongue.
Language information
Italian is the 11th most spoken language in the world, and there are Italian-speaking communities in almost every continent, most notably in Europe and South America. If you need to learn Italian, you'd be hard pressed to find a more convenient course than that offered by Language Trainers. Our native-speaking Italian teachers can come to your home or workplace and train you, providing all necessary course materials. Group sessions can also be organised, and the sessions can be arranged for a time and place that is convenient for you.

Watch interviews with a few of our teachers, and find out why the best way to learn a new language is with Language Trainers!:
My experience with Language Trainers exceeded my expectations significantly. I enjoyed my Spanish classes with a competent teacher that was a native-speaker. At the same time I was offered continuous support from the back office of Language Trainers. In addition to that, I did not only make fast progress, but I learned insights about the Spanish culture and cuisine that made me really love the language. Studying became a lively experience
