The Sandford Language Institute has been running courses in Italian since 1989. Our tutors are native speakers and qualified teachers, teaching the communicative use of the language making it as relevant as possible to every day situations. All of the main language skills of Reading, Writing, Listening, speaking and Use of language (Grammar) are developed in classes. Enrolment for upcoming Sep / Oct 2009 classes is now possible.

If a class has started you would like to join, it is no problem. We will either arrange a catch up class or not charge you for missed weeks.

Levels	Description
Italian Level 1 (Autumn 09)	Absolute beginners (for students who have no previous knowledge of the language)
Italian Level 2 (Autumn 09)	(Advanced beginners) for those with a basic knowledge of all the above language skills or for students who have completed the beginners course.
Italian Level 3 (Autumn 09)	(Lower Intermediate) I can understand and use simple structures fairly consistently, and can ask and respond to a wide range of simple questions. I have a reasonable idea of how the tense system works. I can express myself in familiar contexts, although I still make a quite a lot of mistakes.
Italian Level 4 (Autumn 09)	(Intermediate) I have a good understanding and knowledge of a wide range of language structures and functions, although I may continue to make minor errors syntactically. I have considerable passive knowledge, but need to expand my active usage. I am ready to learn different ways of expressing ideas, work on the subtle nuances of the language, and expand the range of what I can say and write.
