The group course is our most common activity. Within a class of 4-8 and not
more than 12 students, you will be learning Italian through guided conversation exchanges with other participants from all over the world.
The classes concentrate on the spoken language that you will encounter in daily life in Italy. The Koinè method involves active participation in conversations, dialogues, games, and class readings. |
