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 (7-8 students at the most) and individual attention to all students.

All programs running on-line

Adult Weekly Classes (meet once a week)

Courses are offered in the Fall (late September-end of February) Late Fall (mid-November-April) and Spring (immediately following after the Fall semester until the end of May).  Classes can also start anytime once we receive a minimum of 4 students requesting the same time and day.

Beginner and Beginner I courses are geared toward those students that already have a very basic knowledge of the Italian language. Students will master basic conversation skills, vocabulary acquisition, response to  everyday situations while acquiring knowledge of Italian culture.
Beginner II & III courses are geared toward those students that already have a basic knowledge of the Italian language conjugation of nouns, articles, adjectives, present tense verbs. Students should be able to converse about everyday situations and understand topics of simple dialogues and written work.
Intermediate Course I & II courses are geared toward students with a deeper knowledge of the Italian language: intermediate knowledge of grammar and able to carry a more complex conversation about everyday situations and other subjects. Students will master fluid communication, and comprehension and analysis of short stories, while enhancing knowledge of Italian culture.
Advanced Courses: students are expected to speak Italian fluently and to both read and write essays in Italian.  Mastery of more complex grammatical structures, refinement and enrichment of current linguistic dexterity (including speaking, reading and writing) and comprehension while enhancing knowledge of Italian culture.
