Linguaviva’s Italian Standard course at their Florence location allows students to develop all of the main language skills simultaneously: writing, reading, listening and speaking. This is consistent with the general approach of the course, as it is intended to be useful for a wide range of people and backgrounds. This option represents 20 hours of lessons every week.
This school prefers to avoid translation in the classroom, meaning that all communication and explanation will be given in Italian, in a way that is tailored to your current level. You will use a course book (charged separately) throughout this programme, with your teacher providing additional materials when necessary, as well as directing interactive and dynamic activities with your peers.
Included in your tuition fees, you will receive: the accommodation placement service, the placement test to determine your initial group, academic counselling specifically for Italian universities, certificates, and Linguaviva’s exam fee.
The aim of the course is to increase student confidence in using Italian, consolidating language knowledge and fluency. All four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking are developed. Classes are lively and stimulating. Students are provided with useful vocabulary and relevant grammar presented in a range of topical contexts. Each level can be completed in 4 weeks. At the end of each course after successful completion of a test students will progress to the next level.

Students do not have use of the kitchen.
This is the ideal situation for students who wish to experience Italian daily life and to practise the language in an informal atmosphere.
The school takes great care in selecting the homestay accommodation. Their accommodation and welfare officers regularly visit local homes to make sure a high standard of service is offered to you. They also carefully check feedback to make sure that course participants who stay in homestay are happy and that standards remain high.
There is a wide variety of families. Some consist of young couples, either with or without children, some are older, some are single parent families and others are widows living alone. Living with an Italian family will be very helpful for practising your Italian. Whoever your hosts are, they will be accustomed to having visitors stay with them. They will want to make sure you are happy and comfortable in their home.

The Shared Flats accommodation are residences that have been carefully selected by Linguaviva in Florence, and are ideal for those students who prefer to live an independent lifestyle, without the expectation of taking part in the daily routine of a homestay family. The school deliberately tries to group you with other students that don’t speak your native language, in order to encourage that communication takes place in Italian while you’re at home.
As this is the single room option, you will have your own private space to rest and study in. The kitchen and bathroom are to be shared with your flatmates, and will have to be cleaned and looked after mutually. The school promises that this type of accommodation is always situated a maximum of 20 minutes away from the school on foot, and that in many cases is even closer.
Bed linens and towels are provided.
This self catering option is for students who want to be more independent by renting a room in a flat shared with other students. You have complete freedom and are not expected to join in family life. You will stay in a completely furnished flat with 3 or more bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom to be shared with other students. The other guests in the flat will speak a different language to you, so you will have plenty of opportunity to practise speaking Italian.
