It starts with phrases such as "Where do I take the bus?" or "How much is bread?" to give immigrants a chance to express themselves in everyday life. This is the first step in Italian language courses for migrants implemented by the Dante Alighieri Society. The organization, also known as "la Dante", was founded in 1889-when Italy was primarily a country of emigration-to promote knowledge of our culture and language around the world. Present in more than 80 countries, its main activities include language courses and examinations to attest knowledge of the language with the issuance of certifications such as the Plida for LS proficiency (i.e., that for foreigners). Today, Italy is a destination for immigration, and making the culture known also means taking care of foreigners who do not even know the basics of the language when they arrive. The course includes two weekly meetings for a total of 40 hours. The recipients of the project are mainly women: refugees, asylum seekers and people who arrived through family reunification. They come mainly from Bangladesh, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco and Tunisia
