The plateau most learners hit
After the beginner stage, many Italian learners stall. They can order coffee and count to a hundred, but conversations with native speakers feel like a wall. This program is built specifically for that gap.
Focus on spoken fluency
Lessons are structured around conversation, not grammar drills. You will discuss news stories, describe personal experiences, and argue opinions - in Italian. Grammar corrections happen in context, tied to what you actually said.
Live sessions with native instructors
Each week includes two live video sessions with instructors from Italy. Sessions are small - no more than six participants - so you get genuine speaking time, not just listening time.
What you will walk away with
A working vocabulary of roughly 2,800 words, control over past and future tenses, and the ability to sustain a conversation for 15-20 minutes without reverting to English. That is a measurable, realistic outcome for 16 weeks of consistent work.
