    The language course is offered year-round for a duration of 4 weeks, with 80 hours of language lessons. This is an introductory course and there are no prerequisites.

    Four hours a day of language lessons from 9:00 to 13:00 with a short break of 20 minutes, Monday through Friday, for a total of 20 hours a week. Classes are organized in small, homogeneous groups of from 4 to a maximum of 12 participants.

    There are 5 different ability levels, each with its own teaching methods designed specifically for that language level.
