FAQ

Why shall I take an Italian language Certification?

The vast majority of students set a goal to obtain an Italian language certification for work, study or citizenship reasons. Let me tell, this shouldn’t be the only reason! Last year I made a list of other several other reasons why taking the CILS exam is a brilliant idea. My favorite one is to boost up your motivation, especially if you have been plateauing for a while.

Learning a language as an adult, in informal settings has some drawbacks too. Many students plateau at an intermediate level because they miss the guidance to perfect their writing or vocabulary, as is not needed. Committing to pass an Italian language exam, entails focusing on perfecting those areas that you might often neglect on a general Italian language course: like writing or listening.

Rest assure that perfecting those areas means that you will be a fantastic Italian speaker.
How long will it take to prepare for an Italian certification?

Everything comes down to your start and final point.
Before anything, find clarity about what type and level of Italian and what is your current level of Italian.
Once you know where you are and where you want to go, we can think in realistic terms of a timeframe.

testimonials

Here is what learners from all aver the world say about me

I would like to thank you for my achievement in CILS at such a short period of time. Within 6 months, you have taken me from A1-A2 level to a B1 success. I was hesitant if distance learning could be productive but you have proven with your techniques that no matter how busy I was with my other works and even missed some of the classes due to my travels, Italian was within my reach. You have designed and redesigned the teaching method during the course to suit my needs and helped me overcome all the obstacles easily. I think being a polyglot you understand different difficulties and find answers. I very grateful. Thanks for your patience and thanks for your great support.
