Would you like to start speaking Italian in a simple, enjoyable, and natural way, without stress, wherever you are? Our Online Italian A1 Course has been designed especially for you. It is an engaging and dynamic programme for those starting from scratch or with very basic knowledge, ideal for communicating from the very beginning in everyday situations.
The course is delivered entirely online through a theoretical yet interactive approach designed to foster active student participation and dynamic, engaging learning; it consists of a total of 8 fifty-minute sessions, organized in a progressive and structured manner; the instructional pathway draws upon a range of carefully selected and diversified materials, including texts, images, videos, podcasts, and interviews, supplemented by a reference glossary and targeted exercises aimed at developing both written and oral comprehension and production skills, with the objective of consolidating linguistic and cultural competencies in an organic and systematic way.
From the very first lessons, you will learn how to introduce yourself, greet others, talk about where you come from, and meet new people — all in Italian. You will explore the alphabet, correct pronunciation, and the distinctive sounds of the Italian language through enjoyable activities such as spelling games and digital dictations. Within a few weeks, you will already be able to use numbers, days, and months, talk about your age, and indicate a date or time. You will be able to describe your daily routine, talk about your family, describe people, and express likes and preferences in a simple yet effective way.
The course will also guide you through practical real-life situations such as going to a café, ordering at a restaurant, shopping for groceries, or asking for information in town, thanks to simulations and role-playing activities that will prepare you to use Italian in everyday life. You will learn how to talk about your home, hobbies, weather, and seasons. You will acquire highly useful vocabulary for any occasion and, lesson after lesson, you will feel increasingly confident in communicating in Italian.
Each module is designed to fully engage you: interactive quizzes, games, authentic materials, real listening activities, and plenty of opportunities to put into practice what you learn. At the end of the programme, you will be able to understand and use everyday expressions, interact in a simple way, and write short texts such as messages, emails, or simple personal descriptions. Moreover, thanks to the friendly and participatory atmosphere of the course, you will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world who, like you, wish to learn Italian and discover Italian culture.

Attending this course represents a fundamental support; however, the actual achievement of the linguistic level depends exclusively on the student’s individual commitment to study and consistent practice of the Italian language, both during and outside of class. Therefore, the duration indicated for reaching the language level of this course (8 classes) should be considered purely indicative.
