Or you can join a group evening class at our training centre in Palmeira Square.
These Italian lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Italian to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
Book now / EnquiryThis set of Italian tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Italian. Even though all novice students will cover survival Italian: enough Italian to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Italian culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Italian.
Book now / Enquiry2 or more people can benefit studying Italian together as these Italian courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Italian Course or Small Group In-Company Italian Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Italian Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Main Features:
Brighton
Brighton is on the south coast of England, and is one of the UK's largest and most prominent seaside resorts. The city and surrounding urban area are extremely popular with tourists, boasting many hospitality and entertainment facilities, and the city is home to around 480,000 people. Brighton and its nearby neighbour Hove were awarded city status in 2000. It is also an educational hotspot, boasting 2 universities and numerous English language schools. Originally a small fishing village called Brighthelmstone, Brighton became a fashionable destination for day-trippers in the 19th century when rail travel first made the idea feasible. A major attraction is the pebble beach, which features many bars, restaurants, nightclubs and arcades; giving Brighton the nickname London-by-the-sea.
Italian Testimonials
"This is just a quick note to say thank you for arranging our Italian classes. We really enjoyed them and we liked Maria very much. We are interested in having some more lessons, perhaps once a week now. We'd like them to focus on conversation so that we can practise what we've learned so far."
