One-to-one General/Business

Italian Course in York

If you want to be taught Italian for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.

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 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.


It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Italian, as well as using the telephone. 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.

Info about York


York is a small city with a real sense of history. Indeed in AD 71 Eboracum (as it was then known) was made one of two capitals of Roman Britain. The city is a real hotspot for tourists with the main attraction being the stunning York Minster, the largest Gothic Cathedral in northern Europe. The University of York is a top-rated academic institution and consequently attracts high-flying students from across Britain and overseas. Once you have visited the Cathedral; a relaxing boat trip on the River Ouse or a stroll around one of its cobbled medieval streets will confirm York's reputation as the place to be if you want to study in a town that has continuing appreciation of its heritage.
