One-to-one General/Business

Italian Course in Cork

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

General Italian courses will cover Survival Italian, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Italian business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Italian telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Italian for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Italian exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Italian family.

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


Spoken by around 63 million people worldwide, Italian is spoken all around the world, in South America and Africa as well as in its native Italy.
