Our Levels

From principiante to avanzato

Four progressive levels aligned with the CEFR, from A1 to B2.

A1

Italian A1 (beginner) course

  • · Indicative duration: about two months per level (A1, A2, B1, B2).
  • · Pace: ~20 class hours per week (depending on group and slot).
  • · A1–B2 track package: 300,000 XAF total (payment plan confirmed at enrolment).

What you will be able to do

  • Introduce yourself and exchange simple personal information.
  • Respond in a basic way when people speak slowly.

  • · Pace: ~20 class hours per week (depending on group and slot).

A2 strengthens daily life: past events, preferences, short announcements, broader basic grammar.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand isolated phrases on familiar topics.
