Italy is not only famous for its breathtaking history, art, and cuisine, but also for its role as a modern global economic power. More and more students in Hong Kong are choosing Italian because of the professional and cultural opportunities it provides. Italian is the fourth most studied language in the world after English, Spanish, and Chinese, and demand continues to rise.
Whether you want to travel to Italy, work with Italian companies, or simply explore the beauty of the language and culture, our ILC Italian courses in Hong Kong are designed to guide you step by step — from absolute beginner to fluent communicator.
The Beginner Italian course is designed for students with no prior experience. Lessons start with the Italian alphabet, correct pronunciation, and essential survival phrases. Students quickly learn to greet people (Ciao, Buongiorno), introduce themselves, exchange personal details like nationality, phone number, and job, and carry on small talk about hobbies and daily life.
Practical scenarios are emphasized — ordering coffee or pasta in a bar, asking about prices, reading a simple menu, spelling names, and telling the time. Grammar lessons cover singular and plural nouns, basic verb conjugations in the present tense, articles, and simple sentence structure. Vocabulary focuses on numbers, days of the week, family members, common objects, and useful everyday expressions.
Students also learn to express preferences, frequency, and routines, giving them the ability to describe daily life and ask about others. Interactive role-plays and dialogues reinforce listening and speaking, while short writing activities (like describing your routine or writing a shopping list) develop reading and writing.
By the end of the beginner level, students can confidently introduce themselves, interact in restaurants and shops, and communicate in simple everyday situations.
At the Intermediate level, students expand vocabulary and grammar while learning to communicate more naturally in both personal and practical situations. Lessons cover describing past habits, talking about travel experiences, comparing past and present lifestyles, and sharing personal stories.
Practical modules include buying train tickets, understanding timetables, describing clothing, and participating in discussions about fashion and music. Students practice polite requests, expressing wishes, making suggestions, and explaining their choices in conversations. Grammar expands to include past tenses (imperfetto, passato prossimo), comparatives, superlatives, and more advanced sentence connectors.
Listening practice includes radio interviews and everyday dialogues, while speaking practice emphasizes opinions and debates. Students also begin to explore cultural aspects such as Italian music, media, and lifestyle, learning how to discuss preferences and participate in role-plays like a radio interview or survey.
The Advanced Italian course is designed for learners aiming at fluency, cultural depth, and professional use of the language. Students engage in complex topics such as work, conflict resolution, friendship, and Italian cultural identity. Discussions and writing tasks include telling the plot of books and films, exploring art and city life, analyzing cultural traditions, and debating social issues.
Grammar instruction covers advanced verb moods (subjunctive, conditional), complex sentence structures, and linking past to present. Students learn to build arguments, give formal presentations, and write professional documents. Emphasis is placed on expanding vocabulary for work, education, and cultural discourse.
Cultural immersion is central at this level: students study Italian cinema, literature, history, and contemporary society. Practical modules such as reading street signs, understanding business Italian, and practicing negotiation language are included. Speaking activities focus on fluency, persuasion, and expressing nuanced emotions and opinions.
By the end of this course, learners are able to confidently converse in social, academic, and business contexts, write extended essays and reports, and fully engage with authentic Italian media. This level prepares students for advanced certifications and living or working in Italy.
