EXPERIENCED, SPECIALISED AND ITALIAN TEACHERS

Every instructor working at Dialogue teaches in his/her own native language. Trained by Dialogue, they generally have 8 years of teaching experience in language instruction. All of them are university graduates and specialized in several fields, including legal, diplomatic and business Italian.

AN EFFECTIVE METHODOLOGY A PROGRAM TAILORED TO SUIT YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS

Although Dialogue is modern and in many respects unique, it has incorported the best knowledge of traditional methods in language teaching and in the teaching of communication. It was developed after 20 years of experience with earlier methods of teaching, which showed the need for a new method, such as that developed at Dialogue.

A FRIENDLY ITALIAN ATMOSPHERE

You stay and receive instruction at the same time in DIALOGUE's home. This is the ideal way of coming to grips with Italian culture and to approach the different levels of the language. At meals, during the breaks, and in the evenings you will rediscover the Dialogue spirit: conviviality, fruitful exchanges, interest and understanding from those who surround you. You will leave DIALOGUE not only the richer for having improved your knowledge of Italian but also for having spoken with people from all parts of the globe.

WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF LESSON TO CHOOSE?
