Anna and Alex
The main characters of the Italian E-LOCAL Course are Anna and Alex. They are two Erasmus students who arrive in Bologna.

Anna and Alex are welcomed in their university town by Lorenzo and Lucia and are helped in their learning process by Elena and Giovanni.

You will follow Anna and Alex in their adventures and discover the Italian language and culture with them.

In each unit you will find a story with seven situations and a comprehension quiz at the end; grammar explanations along with related exercises; cultural pills with short tests and everyday information; language exercises to fix grammar, lexicon and communicative aspects.

In each part, where necessary, you will find a specific glossary, but please remember that you will always have the Overall Glossary at your disposal. This contains all the vocabulary used in the course. You will also be able to download the Overall Grammar, which includes all the grammar explanations of the course.

On average, you should expect to spend between 60 and 75 hours doing online activities to complete the whole course in order to achieve the learning objectives, which correspond to level A1 of the European Framework of Reference for Language. But remember that e-learning is a flexible tool: the amount of time, as well as its distribution, is up to you. The more time you devote to the course and the more regularly you attend it, the better you will learn Italian. Take your time, take enough time. 

Are you ready to start your adventure? We wish you a pleasant discovery!
