The course

An Italian language course that helps improve the ability to communicate in Italian through the study of Italian gestures. We learn to communicate with Italians as the Italians themselves do: not only with words but also with gestures. The lessons are based on real situations, with audio, video and exercises that help to understand not only the language but also the cultural aspects of contemporary Italy. 

Audience

Students of Italian as a foreign language of all levels (A1-C1)
