Course Overview

Online Italian Levels 13&14 is an Intermediate Italian course course for students who have studied the Italian language to a fairly high level. This is an intensive Italian course allowing you to take two Italian levels in 6 weeks and progress more quickly. Online Italian Levels 13&14 requires that you have previously studied Italian Level 12 or a course of at least 144 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then take our quick Italian language level test here, or check our level chart.

Our Online Italian language classes take place via Zoom with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. The interactive lessons emulate our face-to-face classes, and via teacher screen-sharing, students are able to experience a live classroom environment. From vocabulary activities and covering grammar points on the white board, to listening exercises, file sharing and ‘break-out rooms’ to practise speaking with classmates, students can learn without leaving the comfort of their homes. Take a look at an example of one of our online classes in this video.
