Book now / EnquiryItalian courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Italian to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy.

All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Italian to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements.

Warrington
A large town in the northwest of England, Warrington has a population of around 160,000. In Roman times Warrington was a centre of industry and was founded as a bridging point for the river Mersey. During the Industrial Revolution the town was a centre for steel, textiles, tanning, and the brewing and chemical industries. The town is also home to over 10 annual carnivals and festivals, as well as "walking days", when the town centre is closed to traffic for many to take to the streets. Warrington also has one of the largest shopping centres in the North West, even given its proximity to several other major cities.
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."
