This is recommended to learners already speaking or learning one of the two languages, who are interested in easily gaining a quite solid knowledge in the other as well.

French/Italian comparative grammar

One might not know it, but Italy is deeply divided when it comes to how its inhabitants speak. Indeed, in many areas, the italian language is merely used in formal interactions, while during kinship and informal interaction people tend to use their own native language, which in italian are called "dialetti". Let us establish an immediate distinction: the association with the english word «dialect» might be misleading, because as "English dialects" one always refers to "dialects of the English language". In Italian, when we speak about dialects, we are not referring to "variations of Italian" bua, instead, to "variations of latin that chronologically evolved alongside standard italian". So, the "dialetti" are sister languages to standard italian, and the the fact that they are still spoken leaves deep traces of the way different Italians, in the country, speak italian. The aim of this cycle of classes is to provide the learner with those dialectal elements that shape and identify typical geographical variations of standard italian under the influence of the speakers' native dialects. 
This is recommended to people who are planning a trip to Italy and may also know a little italian, but could run the risk of finding themselves facing expressions that do not seem italian at all. It will thus be profitable for the learners who are moving to Italy for business purposes, or who are simply willing to dive into the mosaic of italian artistic production in music, literature and folklore. Lastly, this cycle of classes is recommended to learnes willing to strengthen their "native-like" way of expressing themselves, as a very cosipcuous number of every italian expressions and lexicon used in actual situations are sometimes really hard to find in dictionaries, since they come from a dialectal or regional substratum.
