Do you want to learn a language quickly? That’s one reason to take Dante in Linea’s Intensive Italian Online Course. But there are other reasons why you’ll want to sign up for this course: Dante in Linea promises that with the Intensive Course you’ll learn to speak Italian with more confidence in just three months.
All our language courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1 – Beginners to C1 – Advanced).
This course is suitable for everyone from absolute beginners to fluent speakers: it is designed to provide you with a course that meets your specific learning needs.
Our teaching method is communicative in nature, allowing you to practice your oral fluency, improve your understanding of the language, expand your use of Italian vocabulary and improve your understanding of grammatical structure.
Why you should take the Dante in Linea Intensive Course
1. You can learn a lot, fast
Yes, let us begin with this one. 90 hours of live instruction in 90 days? Yes, just as you read, you will be able to communicate in basic Italian in three months. The main idea behind the Intensive Course is that you will significantly improve in a short period of time. If you’re a beginner, it’s a great way to go from knowing almost nothing to being able to communicate with people when you travel abroad.
Rather than, say, turning red, stuttering something, and backing yourself into a corner, which is awkward for everyone, especially you. And if you’re a more advanced learner, you can hone your chosen language to the point where it feels as natural to you as your native tongue.
2. More motivated students.
Normally the person who enrolls in this type of course is clear that he/she wants to achieve a goal or see specific results in a certain period of time. That is why the students are usually conscious of making the most of the time, so that the whole group is at the same level of motivation and this helps in a great way to a good joint evolution.
3. We meet people with the same interests as us.
This type of course usually brings together certain people who often realize that they are in the class for a common goal: students who need a certificate of Italian to apply for Italian citizenship, students of competitive examinations who want to gain points, university students who want a certificate to apply for an Erasmus scholarship, etc. It is normal that groups are created among students to share doubts, material, resources and to get to know each other better.
4. You will challenge yourself
Most of us say we like challenges, but we tend to shy away from them when they come up. The Dante in Linea Crash Course is the perfect challenge to take on. Because yes, it is a challenge. It is a real commitment to self-improvement and involves a considerable investment of your time. But if you succeed, you will have overcome a great challenge and you will feel enormously proud of yourself. Not only for what you will have learned, but also for your ability to persevere.
5. You will find your confidence and overcome your fear of speaking.
For most students, speaking is the most important but least developed skill. The intensive course will change that. And if you are afraid of speaking Italian before the intensive course, we guarantee you won’t be after. It is impossible for you to spend 90 lessons speaking Italian with a native speaker and still be shy. We promise.
It’s perfectly natural to worry about speaking in a foreign language, especially if you don’t have much practice. That’s why an intensive course like Dante in Linea is so useful. Speaking Italian every day means that the language becomes familiar and, as it gets easier, it probably becomes a lot more fun too.
The intensive Italian course involves a big time commitment, but not as much as face-to-face classes. Why? Because you don’t have to go anywhere to take the classes. You just turn on your computer and make sure you can hear and be heard.
You don’t need to change out of your pajamas or your stinky gym clothes. All of this doesn’t mean you don’t have to put effort into the classes. You do. But you don’t have to waste that effort on dressing up or traveling across town to attend a class.
Dante in Linea’s teachers are all highly qualified native speakers (DITALS II certified) and strive to make the experience of studying Italian as enjoyable and productive as possible.
Upon request we also offer targeted preparation for the CILS, CELI and PLIDA certification , which are prestigious and widely recognized certifications of Italian language proficiency.
