LEARN ITALIAN

Enrolments for Term 1, 2025 are now open!

Enroll by 26/01/2025 to receive a 10% Early Bird Discount!

We offer Italian language classes to suit students of all levels, from absolute beginners through to advanced learners.

Our classes are divided according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, where ‘A’ levels are suited to beginners, ‘B’ to intermediate, and ‘C’ to advanced.

Choosing the Right Level

Choosing the right level can be tricky. If you have received previous tuition but aren’t sure which class to enrol in, this online placement test may assist you. You may also find further information on this self-assessment grid, which illustrates the levels of proficiency described in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Otherwise, the Office staff are always willing to have a chat to help you select your level. If you find a class is too easy or too difficult, the Office can assist in moving you to a different level.

Class Numbers

All classes will run for nine weeks and are subject to a minimum of six enrolments in order to proceed. A class of five students can elect to continue with a reduced number of seven lessons for the same fee. If the minimum number of enrolments is not met, all students will receive a full refund.

Class Pricing and Location

Unless otherwise advised, all classes will take place in-person at the Italian Cultural Centre (80 Franklin Street, Forrest ACT 2603).

Anearly bird discount of 10% is available for the first two weeks of enrolments. The fee for all 9-week language courses will return to $400 after the early bird enrolment period ends.

Students will also be required to purchase a textbook from the Dante Office for $60.

Please note: All students are required to be financial members of the Society.
