You can do it! Get involved in level B1 Italian conversation with TECH and perfect your language skills from the comfort of your own home"

TECH proposes something completely different, distancing itself from the traditional education found in language academies and schools, which provide teaching based on the repetition of simple linguistic structures with no connection to adequately structured content or specific competencies. It has been proven that the best way to stimulate language learning is not to subject the learner to formalized, linear learning (for example, based on memory) but rather, to encourage imagination and learning through sensory exploration. This way, students are able to understand and interpret the environment and the context in an accurate way.

This is the only way in which the brain can work and learn a second language in the most natural way, in the same way that one learns to speak one's mother tongue. For this reason, TECH offers B1 Italian individual conversation classes with university professors and native speakers, who will provide personalized and 100% online Italian conversation classes in both common and specific communicative situations. Therefore, the student will gain an in-depth understanding of the structure of the Italian language and be able to maintain conversations on a complete basic level, all with the guarantee and prestige of TECH.

This course takes place entirely online over 4 months and 40 live quality sessions with language teaching experts.
