Run by the Venice Italian School, Mini Gruppo Online is an interactive, instructor-led series designed to sharpen spoken Italian in small, level-matched cohorts. Classes meet online once a week for one hour across a five-week course, with participant limits kept deliberately low so each student gets sustained speaking time and corrective feedback.

Highlights

Workshop Highlights

THE GROUP

Micro-class size

Groups are limited to a maximum of four students, creating an intimate setting that prioritizes conversation practice and individual attention.

THE RHYTHM

One lesson a week, five weeks

The course runs as a single one-hour lesson each week over five consecutive weeks, a steady cadence that lets learners consolidate progress between sessions.

THE FOCUS

Practice with peers at your level

Sessions emphasize interactive conversation within a cohort organized by level, offering peer practice together with targeted teacher feedback.

What the day feels like

What the course feels like

Expect a compact, conversation-driven rhythm: an instructor-led hour each week that centers on speaking and comprehension within a tight-knit group. The online format removes geographic friction while the small group cap preserves the kind of one-on-one correction and turn-taking that accelerates oral fluency.

Suitability

Who it's for

Learners wanting speaking practiceIdeal for students who prioritize active conversation practice in an intimate group setting — the maximum of four participants ensures frequent speaking turns and teacher feedback.
2
Busy adultsA good match for people who need a compact commitment: one-hour lessons held once a week for five weeks fit into tight schedules more easily than full-time courses.

4
Absolute beginners seeking long blocks of instructionNot the best match for learners needing intensive daily immersion or long contact hours—this format provides steady weekly practice rather than continuous instruction.
