Conversation Courses
A leading language school in Dublin
We will help you improve your conversation skills while learning about Italian culture and having fun! Courses are organised by level of proficiency and themes; such as Italian traditions, lifestyle, art and history. The course will provide opportunities to discuss, debate, exchange ideas and discover something more about Italian culture.
“Caffè & Giornale” 2025 (corso di conversazione di livello avanzato)
The course is inspired by the Italian tradition of reading newspapers (and of course commenting on the stories) while having breakfast! Some relevant news of the week will be selected (about culture, politics, current affairs etc.) and commented with the help of your tutor who will encourage the discussion.

Assessment
To join an A1.1 (beginners) course, you don’t need any previous knowledge of Italian — just enthusiasm to learn!
If you already have some experience but are new to our school, we’ll ask you to take a free online assessment test before enrolling in a general course. This helps us find the best class for your level.
You can take the test from our website here.
