Mi piace l'italiano!

Welcome to the learning Italian page.

Traditionally many Poles are drawn to Italy, the home of magnificent art, fiery passion and excellent cuisine. Demostenes will teach you Italian with energy and a true southern temperament. We will do this above all effectively, and will help you in achieving success – fast!

Classes

Classes are conducted in small groups, enabling an individual approach to be taken to each student. These groups are formed on the basis of language ability and age, with ability determined by a placement test and conversation with a teacher. At intermediate level and higher, lessons are taken in turn by two teachers, a native speaker of the target language and a Polish teacher. Students enjoy the benefit of audio-visual aids, whether recordings, wall charts, games or the like, and are also able to make use of the Internet and computer programs.

After hours

All of our students may take advantage of FREE individual consultations, computer classes, film screenings in the original and our lending library of books and magazines.

Students gain access to our multimedia room, which houses computer equipment, a television, a VCR, a DVD player and a radio and cassette and CD player. We also have at our disposal a multimedia projector for group activities. Besides Internet access, we are able to offer a dozen or more satellite television channels and radio stations in a variety of languages.

At the levels Avanzato to Superiore you are invited to attend the seminar The Language and Culture of Italy.

Coursebooks

During lessons we make use of coursebooks from reputable publishing houses as well as our own materials, these drawn up by teachers utilising sources of contemporary language use, whether the Internet, the press or television. In use too are board games, pictures and source materials, for instance underground maps, guides and public transport timetables.

For purchase of a coursebook our students receive a 15% discount!
