Those who would benefit the most from these Italian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Italian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Italian, as well as survival Italian should a visit to the country be necessary.

Italian courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Italian culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Italian.

Milton Keynes
A large town in northern Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes has a population of around 185,000. One of the UK's "new cities", its site was deliberately chosen to be equidistant from London, Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge, with the plan that it would become a major regional centre in its own right. The city's careful planning is made evident by the organisation of the city's various districts: the city centre's Shopping District is 1 mile long - the longest in Europe. The Theatre District features many bars, clubs, restaurants and the famous Milton Keynes Theatre. The Entertainment District features cinemas, restaurants, clubs, shops, and a real snow ski slope.
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."
