The software will save everything you have done until then. Even if you log in from another device, the work you have completed up to that moment will not be lost.
This is the strong point of our platform – you can follow the course anytime during the day. However, you will have a limited period time to complete the course so that the method TOTALITY proofs effective.
Unlike other online courses, we set objectives to be reached in an entirely “natural” way. However, time is fundamental here because it keeps the students active and does not allow them to neglect the learning process which –over time – becomes more complex and challenging.
The best learning path and the one we recommend in order to acquire Italian language correctly is the following: LABORATORY SITUATION – ACTION – CLASS with HandBook – final TEST – CAMPUS in Italy. Each of the steps brings you closer to the proper understanding of Italian language. If you believe to already know Italian language quite well, contact our director of studies to decide what would be the best learning path for you.
Of course you can. If you have already used all of the available time and still would like to repeat some of the classes or meetings with the tutor, you can purchase extra hours of classes here (add-on here)
The Tutor Support for learning and receiving further assistance is included in the ACTION and CLASS steps. As LAB and SIT steps are designed for self-learning, you can receive tutor support only by acquiring it in the form of 30-minute packages, according to the time you need.
The learning materials become available class after class in the SIT and CLASS steps. In order to improve your skills even more, you can purchase a workbook with extra exercises which you can check together with your tutor in the CLASS step.
The Campus is an experience to practice Italian language in real life and find out more about our culture. After you have completed the Online course, you have the possibility to really experience ITALY – by working, studying, upgrading your personal capacities and in many other ways.
The platform provides a specific software which organizes your classes and makes your learning process fast and simple. These softwares allows for student-tutor interactions, show you exactly at which point of learning you are and never let you feel left alone! What is more, the innovative web tv gives you the possibility to follow your course online from smartphone or tablet.
