Italian lessons 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 benefited 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 for Italian culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in Italian.
