Italian and Cooking

Cursus beschrijving

This is the course that allows you to learn Italian from scratch or deepen your knowledge of it alongside cooking lessons. We recommend it if learning Italian is one of your priorities during your stay in Florence and you want to add cooking classes.

It is a general Italian course that will help you live and work in Italy, spend a holiday here, get closer to the Italian culture or improve your knowledge of it.

The cooking lessons are for food and wine enthusiasts, both amateurs and professionals.

The course is for students at all levels. The language course will help you improve listening, speaking, reading and writing. You will focus on the practical aspects of language useful in everyday life, developing Italian speaking skills and deepening your knowledge of Italian culture. Italian lessons combine communication and grammar in an ideal combination and, at all levels, you will always use the Italian language in class. Plenty of time will be dedicated to expanding your vocabulary in order to speak Italian more fluently. If you are a beginner, you will start learning Italian from the basics and you will see your progress after the very first weeks. If you already have a knowledge of the language, the content will be appropriate to the level of your course, from A1 to C2. To complete each level you will need an average of 6 weeks, but you may need more time for higher levels.

Cooking lessons will allow you to learn the basics of Italian dishes, improve your cooking skills, learn about both traditional regional recipes and new trends of Italian cuisine. For the language course you will be placed in a group of up to 8 people in a comfortable and relaxing environment.

In the afternoon you will have two cooking lessons in a cooking school, where you will have fun under the guidance of experienced cooks.

We will provide you with the textbook and all useful materials. The teacher will use an iPad and after each lesson you will receive a pdf with its contents. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of attendance.
