BSL — India's oldest language school since 1971 — teaches Italian with native trainers from CEFR A1 through C2. Three official certifications: CILS (University of Siena), CELI (University of Perugia), and PLIDA (Dante Alighieri Society). Italy fashion and luxury MNC career coaching. MAECI scholarship. Free QR certificate. 3 free demos.
Italian is unique among all BSL languages — it has three separate official certification bodies, each administered by a different Italian institution. Your certification choice depends on your goal.
CILS exams: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. CELI exams: 1 (A2) through 5 (C2). PLIDA exams: A1 through C2. BSL aligns every CEFR level to the relevant exam component for all three certification systems.
Italian gemination (double consonants) is completely absent from Indian languages as a meaning-changing feature. The same syllable — held shorter or longer — means entirely different things. Native trainer correction from lesson one is essential.
All plans include 3 free demos, free study material, and a free QR-verified certificate. CILS, CELI, and PLIDA prep available.
