Italian
Classes for Adults
Italian Language Education Designed for Adult Learners of All Levels
If you are looking to improve your Italian conversation skills and gain greater fluency, our Italian Classes for Adults at Italian School NJ are an ideal choice. We offer online classes as well as in-person instruction at our East Hanover location, 49 Ridgedale Avenue, East Hanover, NJ.
At Italian School NJ, conversation skills are a priority. Our curriculum was developed for adult learners who felt frustrated by a lack of fluency after years of study, placing strong emphasis on spoken Italian while reinforcing understanding through clear explanations of grammatical structures.
We create an encouraging learning environment through small class sizes and individual attention, helping each student build confidence and progress effectively.
Adult Programs
Winter classes are running now!
Many ongoing classes are available and can be joined with the teacher’s approval.
Please note that placement in any class other than a New Beginner class must be approved by our administration through testing. New classes can start anytime we have a minimum of four students signed up for the same class.
