European Foreign Language Classification and download language test

Choose the level you believe you best fit in through self-evaluation. At the beginning of our program you will be asked to go through an entry test and don’t worry, because you can change class without any problem, even after a first couple of hours, seeing an teacher to discuss your objectives, so that the most suitable class can be chosen for you.

Se il Baldo – Kräht der Hahn

Se il Baldo ha il cappello, o piove o fa bello.
≠ Kräht der Hahn auf dem Mist, ändert sich das Wetter, oder es bleibt wie es ist.
… variazione tirolese:
Hat der Berg einen Hut, wird das Wetter gut. Hat der Berg einen Sabel, wird das Wetter miserabel.

Resisto a tutto, non alle tentazioni: come si dice altrove?

Il diavolo fa le pentole ma non i coperchi.
Un baiser volé vaut mieux qu’un baiser légitime (Un bacio rubato vale più di un bacio legittimo).
Für ein Glas Milch kauft man nicht die ganze Kuh (Per un bicchiere di latte non si compra tutta la mucca).
Chat echaudé craint l’eau froide (Chi è stato scottato una volta ha paura dell’acqua fredda).

Piano piano – Mühsam – A penny

La calma è la virtù dei forti (Chi va piano va lontano, chi va forte va alla morte).
Mühsam mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen hüpfend von Ast zu Ast. – Kleinvieh macht auch Mist.
A penny saved is a penny god.
Petit à petit l’oiseau fait son nid.
Gutta cavat lapidem
