Studying with Cortina is like having a Professor at Your Elbow Each time you sit down comfortably to study, your personal Cortina professor is at your side, ready to teach you. Turn on your tape player, and your individual instructors will repeat for you the words and sentences of your lesson – as many times as you wish, until you have learned them and can repeat them with a perfect accent. The Cortina Course has been so well organized that you can follow it easily step by step, controlling your own progress as you go along, setting your own comfortable pace. You don't have to waste time traveling to classes or studying what someone else decides. Cortina has devised the Course to fit the needs of the individual student – you!

Our Personal Consultation Staff draws on a variety of resource materials to answer your questions and facilitate your language study as you learn Italian.

Every time you open your Cortina textbook, or play one of your Cortina cassettes – no matter where you are – your Cortina professor is at your side, ready to help you learn the language of your choice.
