Italian evening classes – Summer trimester begins next week!

April 27, 2022 by Daniel Leave a Comment

From next week (May 2nd 2022), we have three levels of Italian evening classes starting/restarting at our language school in the center of Bologna.

They are:

A1/A2 (elementary/pre-intermediate) on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T.

B1 (intermediate), also on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T.

B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced), on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T.

The Italian evening classes are organised in three-week modules, two lessons of three hours each week, so eighteen hours per module. We’ve programmed four modules for the summer trimester, meaning that anyone studying from the start of May to the third week of July can expect to improve approximately a level.

The exact dates of the modules, and other information, can be consulted on our Italian Evening Courses page.

If you’re unsure which class is right for you, please contact us to arrange a test.

What about for those of you who are not in Bologna, or are not available to study in the evenings?

Another option is to take one-to-one Italian lessons online.

We currently have the following classes running at our Italian language school in Bologna:

Morning (full-time/intensive) Italian courses

The school is open for in-person teaching and all full-time/intensive classes are now being organised that way. Things are busier than they were in January and February and we expect that to continue during the spring/summer, pandemic permitting!

This week we have the following levels, running from Monday thru Friday, 0930-1330:

A1 (beginner/elementary)
A2 (pre-intermediate)
B1 (intermediate)
B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced)

Face masks are still obligatory for students and staff, though ‘green passes’ are not.

We measure people’s temperature on entry, maintain appropriate distancing, open windows regularly, clean desks after each class, and so on. Hand gel is provided.

Outside the school, masks are not now obligatory.

Anyone who previously paid a deposit for an Italian course in Bologna but cancelled or were not permitted to come because of Covid, your deposit is STILL VALID. So why not try again??

The good weather’s just around the corner, too… How to book

Evening (part-time) Italian courses

The Covid precautions detailed above apply equally to evening course students. We currently have two groups in progress, plus waiting lists for classes to open when we reach the minimum number of students.

Update on Italian Courses in Bologna, Italy (not online!)

February 15, 2022 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Here’s a quick update on the situation with classes at our Italian language school in Bologna:

Morning (full-time/intensive) Italian courses

The school is open for in-person teaching and all full-time/intensive classes are now being organised that way. Things are quiet right now, but we expect to be busier from March onwards, then throughout the spring/summer, pandemic permitting!

Face masks are obligatory for students and staff, though ‘green passes’ are not, except for employees aged over 50 years (we have two!)

We measure people’s temperature on entry, maintain appropriate distancing, open windows regularly, clean desks after each class, and so on. Hand gel is provided.

Outside the school, masks are not now obligatory, which is a relief, and a sign that things are improving.

Anyone who previously paid a deposit for an Italian course in Bologna but cancelled or were not permitted to come because of Covid, your deposit is STILL VALID. So why not try again?? The good weather’s just around the corner, too… How to book

Evening (part-time) Italian courses

The Covid precautions detailed above apply equally to evening course students. We currently have two groups and two waiting lists for classes which we’ll open when there’s enough interest.

A1 (beginner/elementary) – we have a waiting list of the (presumably few) people who are interested. If you are, too, contact us.

The A2 (pre-intermediate) started its second three-week module on 07/02/22 and runs on Mondays and Wednesdays at 18.00-21.00 C.E.T. There are seven students in the group, but our classrooms are large enough that we could squeeze a few more in and still maintain appropriate distancing. If anyone would like to take part, contact us.

The B2 (upper-intermediate) class, starts its second module, and the B2-level course book, this evening. It runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As there are currently only three students, the class times are 18.00-20.30. though if/when there are four (or more) students that will extend half an hour, so 18.00-21.00 C.E.T. Want to study B2? Contact us.

C1 (advanced) – is another waiting list, for now. Contact us and help make it a reality!

If you’re unsure which course is right for you, please contact us to ask whatever questions you have and/or to arrange a level test.

Italian Evening Classes in Bologna Started/Starting!

January 18, 2022 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Here’s a quick update on the situation with the Italian evening classes at our language school in Bologna:

The A2 (pre-intermediate) started yesterday (17/01/22) and runs on Mondays and Wednesdays at 18.00-21.00 C.E.T. There’s space in the group if anyone would like to join us!

The B1/2 (intermediate/upper-intermediate) class, which was scheduled to begin this evening and will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T. HAS BEEN POSTPONED A WEEK, so will now start this time next week, on Jan. 25th. Again, there’s still space in the group.

The reason for the postponement was the usual these days – someone in the assigned teacher’s family tested positive, so rather than use a substitute we decided to wait a week for the ‘all clear’.

We’re also hoping to open other levels, for example beginners and advanced, if there’s the interest. Contact Us

The three-week (18 hour) ‘module’ starting next week will end by February 3rd, after which there will then be three further modules, each also lasting three weeks (18 hours), from February 7th to February 24th, from February 28th to March 17th, and from March 21st to April 7th. (MENTALLY ADJUST THOSE DATES FOR THE CLASS STARTING A WEEK LATER!)

Those dates, and other information, can be consulted on our Italian Evening Courses page.

So why not join us to improve your Italian? With just two evening classes a week, and taking advantage of the gloomy months from January to April, you could improve an entire level!

If you’re unsure which class is right for you, please contact us to arrange a test.

And for those of you who are not available to study in the evenings, C.E.T.?

Another option is to take one-to-one Italian lessons online.
