Are you an HR or L&D manager, looking for Business Italian Language training?
You came to the right place!
Your team have contact with Italian customers and colleagues and they do regular trips to Italy. They use English for meetings, but this is not always a good idea, as Italy ranks among the worst in EU when it comes to speaking English.
Also, during business trips they struggle to communicate with the locals, leading to delays and disruptions. Finally, different work cultures cause misunderstandings and friction.
People from the Polish subsidiary of a leading Italian company had the same problem.​ Their executives were struggling to communicate with their HQ in Milan, leading to difficult process implementation and disappointing business results.
Their HR manager contacted me and we work together to solve this issue. I set up a programme called Business Italian Speaking Club, to teach them the language they actually needed to communicate effectively in the workplace.
​
Results came soon: their managers improved their Italian skills, being able to understand Italian work culture, deliver presentations and negotiate with confidence.
Since then I have been helping other 50 executives from global companies such as Generali and Intesa San Paolo to learn Italian and do business better.

Simone has a a very positive attidude and lessons were fun and interesting!
I particularly enjoyed the module on cultural differences, where we could share our experience and understand Italian business culture better. At the end of the course I felt more confident with my Italian and I will definitely recommend this club to every professional working with Italian colleagues.

I really liked the idea behind the Speaking Club, which was quite different from a "traditional" Italian course. The second part on the presentation skills in Italian was my absolute favourite. It was very useful to practice in front of my colleagues and to receive feedback. The programme was definitely too short and I cannot wait to join another edition of the club!
Vaclav Sevald
Project Manager at C.T.S. Studio
I was very happy to join the course. For me the first part on presentations was very useful, but I also found the negotiation module extremely interesting. I learned how to negotiate with my Italian customers in an empathetic manner, giving the other party greater space to propose solutions acceptable to both parties!

I loved attending the Speaking Club! I have learned how to make presentations in Italian including useful expressions and effective preparation. Simo always prepared useful exercises and dialogues. If you are a professional working with Italian customers, I recommend Simo to improve your spoken Italian. At the end of the club you will not be afraid of presenting something in Italian.
