Italian

In our increasingly interconnected world, Chinese and English alone are no longer sufficient. From growing competition across the job market to the globalisation of culture and breaking down of traditional frontiers, our modern lives have come to rely more and more on our ability to adapt to a multilingual world.

As home of the Vatican and birthplace of the Renaissance that reshaped European history, the language of Italy was for centuries the language of classical art, music and religion. In recent years, it has also become the language of high fashion and popular cuisine.

Our team of dedicated instructors are not only qualified professionals with certification in teaching Italian as a foreign language, they are also native speakers of the language with years of experience teaching in Hong Kong, and a methodology specially suited to the needs of Hong Kong students. This intimate understanding allows them to offer an inclusive approach to instruction that goes beyond comprehension and conversational skills to include reading and written language skills as well.

There are two intakes per year: September/ October and February/ March.

Classes are held on weekday evenings and/or weekends to accommodate the demanding schedules of working students. We offer certificate courses, short courses and weekend workshops, some of which are CEF reimbursable.
