Italian Level 7 is an Elementary (A1) Italian course for students who are already in the process of learning Italian. It is recommended that you have previously studied Italian Level 6 or a course of at least 72 class hours. If you’re unsure whether this level is right for you, we recommend taking our placement test or contacting the Foreign Language Department, as a more suitable course may be available for you.

Our courses help you use Italian in everyday situations, while building core skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

After Level 7, continue your learning with Level 8 and beyond. Progression is based on your class participation and self-study—there are no formal tests. To help you better understand our level system, check our level chart.
