- Description of the service
This is an online conversation service using Skype communication
system. It is not an online language course. That is to say, there
are no organised lessons or any pre-established programme. The Puntolingua
online conversation service gives you the possibility to practise
those Italian skills that you have already acquired elsewhere.
The conversation lasts 45 minutes. This time may be used for a simple
conversation along general lines, to do oral exercvises or to ask
questions about Italian culture and language. It is up to the user
to decide. During the first conversation the teacher - together
with the user - will decide what topics of interest will be followed
up on in future meetings.
- Who it's aimed at
The service is aimed at intermediate and advanced level students,
that is at people who are already capable of understanding at
least a little Italian.
