Ten weeks. A small, friendly group. No previous Italian needed.
If you’ve always fancied learning Italian but never quite started — this is the course for you. We begin at the very beginning, and by the end of ten weeks you’ll be holding real conversations: ordering, introducing yourself, asking directions, and understanding what comes back.
The details
- Starts: Wednesday 16 September
- Time: 5.00–6.30pm, every Wednesday for 10 weeks
- Where: Online, so you can join from anywhere
- Cost: £150 for the whole course — that’s £15 a lesson
- Group size: Small — just a handful of students, so everyone gets to speak
- Level: Complete beginners (A1). No prior Italian at all is needed.
What you’ll be able to do
- Greet people properly — and know when ciao is the wrong word
- Introduce yourself, say where you’re from and what you do
- Order food and drink with confidence, and understand the answer
- Ask for directions, prices, and the time
- Handle a hotel, a train ticket and a shop
- Understand the everyday phrases Italians actually use
- Read a menu without guessing
Who it’s for
People planning a trip to Italy. People with Italian family who never learnt the language. People who’ve retired and always meant to. People who just love the sound of it. You do not need to be “good at languages” — that’s my job, not yours.
Who’s teaching
I’m Laura Geraci, a native Italian teacher from Sicily with over 20 years’ experience. I hold a PGCE, QTS and CELTA, and I’ve taught everyone from nervous beginners to GCSE students. My lessons are relaxed and practical — we speak from the first week, and I promise not to make you conjugate anything in silence.
