Italian Classes for Adults. Online & In-person options
In person classes are held at our East Hanover location, 49 Ridgedale Avenue, East Hanover, NJ.
At Italian School NJ, conversation skills are a priority for both our staff and our students. Having encountered many adult students who were frustrated with their lack of fluency after years of study, we devised a curriculum that gives priority to conversation, while concomitantly enhancing the conceptual understanding of the language through a thorough explanation of the grammatical structures. Our goal is to create an encouraging environment to learn the Italian language by providing small classroom sizes and individual attention to all students. Student-to-student interaction and repetition are paramount in creating an environment that both encourages and enhances verbal skill, and we put a premium upon ensuring that each student reaches both the benchmarks set forth by our curriculum, as well as their own personal goals.
