The experiential method is based on the dynamics of the group: knowledge is not given ready-made but is “built” through the interaction of students, teacher, and content. Students participate actively, use Italian in real-life situations, and understand more easily what they learn. The teacher’s role is to guide and inspire, showing students how to think and to discover knowledge on their own.

Interviews, creative writing projects, role-playing, video-based activities, discussions, as well as the exploration of scientific topics, historical events, and economic and social phenomena through Italian-language sources constitute only some of the tools of experiential learning. These tools simultaneously develop social and communication skills, significantly boosting students’ confidence, their critical thinking, and effective communication.

Students are placed in Italian classes of the same level so that they share a common foundation and progress at a similar pace. The goal is for them to start speaking Italian from the very first lessons, to deepen their knowledge of the language as quickly as possible, and to obtain the certificate they are interested in very fast. We achieve this goal at AXON Hellenic every time, for every student or professional! Through the experiential teaching method, our students come into direct contact with the language from the very first hours. The teacher speaks to them in Italian from the very first minute and guides them in the appropriate way, adapted to the needs of adults, so that they learn to think in Italian and not simply translate in their minds from Greek to Italian.

It is a “melodic” language with many similarities to Greek, easy for Greek speakers and allowing rapid progress. As a Latin-based language with many Greek roots, Italian has vocabulary that feels particularly familiar to Greeks, and its grammar and pronunciation are more accessible than those of other foreign languages—making learning faster. Combined with modern, interactive teaching methods and exposure to rich audiovisual material, Italian becomes an experience, ensuring its genuine acquisition and use whether you are a beginner or more advanced. Our students do not memorize… they experience Italian.

With an organized teaching plan, personalization, flexible scheduling, small groups or even one-to-one lessons, and an emphasis on real communication, the Italian courses for adults at the AXON Hellenic foreign language center are designed for students, professionals, and scientists who want rapid progress and meaningful results.
