SLIBC to launch Italian language course

The Sri Lanka-Italy Business Council (SLIBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will launch an Italian language course to promote the European Union country's language in Sri Lanka.

A Council spokesman said the move will help Sri Lankans to gain a competitive advantage when dealing with Italy, whether it is in the areas of trade, culture, education or any other sectors of bilateral relationships.

The course for beginners will begin on February 28 at the Automobile Association of Ceylon.

The course content will cover areas such as construction of basic phrases, interrogative, causative and temporal sentences, pronouns, adjectives and conversation.
