There are so many reasons why people want to learn Italian; that’s why we personalize our language courses according to your needs. We base our language instruction on the topics and terminologies that interest you. And that’s not all: we’ll help you complement your instruction through a variety of cultural experiences, conducted by Italian professionals and experts in the field.

Here are some of the course options we offer:

• Month-by-month courses:
  Provided for groups of ten to fifteen students at a time with a planned stay of 1 – 6 months. These courses are designed to offer students a full-immersion cultural experience in Italy. The course content covers themes related to Italian and European culture, art, architecture, cuisine, fashion, history, geography, wine tasting, etc.

• Youth Holiday Courses:
  These courses, typically held during spring, summer and winter recess are aimed at preparing high school and university students in shorter periods of time. During the course of study, students are able to explore themes directly related to their fields of study.

• Week-by-week courses for professionals:
  Intensive courses designed for professionals that need to perfect their linguistic skills for specific sectors. The  course content is established on a case-by-case scenario.

• Cultural Weeks:
  Would you like to learn the anecdotes about the most mysterious city in the world from experts? Or would you rather spend a week learning about Mediterranean cuisine and wine from the experts? How about seeing the Venice Film Festival or the Art Biennale, or the world famous Venetian Carnival?

With our theme-based cultural weeks you’ll learn Italian while having conversation about the themes that you’re most passionate about.

All Italian language courses aim at offering visitors of Venice a practical, day-to-day know-how of the language through topic-based conversational sessions.

• Business English Workshop:
  Are you an English second language learner?  Are you interested in learning how to enter the job market in Europe? Why not work on your spoken English while studying Italian? We’ll train you to use your language skills to land a job in Europe!

With Charisma Communication you can practice your Business English in addition to your Italian course. Both courses held by highly qualified native language instructors. We’ll offer you the best package for whatever your interests may be.

Classes for all intensive courses are held four times a week for four hours a day (in two, two-hour sessions), plus four hours of online instruction weekly, for a total of 20 hours per week.

When I started the course I had some doubts about Charisma's effectiveness.

Over time I changed my mind and I got excited about it  because I realized I was making great progress everyday. It's true, these courses are very different.

Obviously it’s not over yet; this is only the beginning and I'm sure that next and subsequent years progress will be significant. Thanks Nicola, see you in September.
