Overall
Language of instruction: Italian
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian
How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
Generally a good idea to pick up basic knowledge of the language you will be instructed in, however, you learn very quickly when there is a need to and the daily reinforcement of hearing the language spoken is a great help.
