Learning Italian online is an excellent choice if you are looking for a flexible, cheaper method. But how do you find a truly useful course? Read our article to find out.
Whether you have work, family or study commitments, online courses let you study at your own pace and in your own time, without having to give up on other tasks.
Of course, studying online can be less expensive than staying in Italy for a more or less extended period of time.
However, finding a quality course that really suits your needs can be a bit of a challenge. There are so many courses out there, and the quality can vary, especially in the case of online courses.
The aim of this article is to give you some useful tips and advice about learning Italian online, so that you can be sure of choosing an effective, good quality course. Regardless of whether you are a complete beginner or you are looking to perfect your Italian skills.
In particular, we will look at:
Where can you learn Italian online?
The first step in your online learning journey is doubtless choosing a school that offers quality teaching programmes with qualified teachers and effective methods.
This is why the first thing you should do is to make sure that the course provider you select is a valid one. Contacting the secretary’s office to make sure that they provide real support to students, and reading reviews by people who have already completed the course will help to give you some idea.
There are other factors that we advise you to take into account when choosing a school that can offer you the best online Italian courses.
Starting with the way in which they provide the courses. Make sure that lessons are streamed live as, unlike on-demand lessons, with a live stream you can interact with the teachers.
Also check for the existence of a dedicated online platform to provide all of the latest teaching materials, and make sure that there are teachers also qualified to teach remotely.
You should also find out about the availability of tailored courses and multi-level programmes based on your requirements.
Lastly, consider the length of the lessons. For example, our lessons are always 60 minutes long, while many schools provide a maximum of 45 or 50 minutes.
Which online Italian course should you choose?
Once you have chosen the school to provide your course, another essential choice to make is the online Italian course itself.
When it comes to courses, we recommend that you think about your starting level and your aims, and also that you choose the course best suited to your specific needs.
Then decide, based on your preference and requirements, whether you are better suited to a group course or an individual one.
