The general Italian course includes lessons from Monday to Friday, from 9 to 12, in classes made up of an average of around 4 students to allow everyone to work at their own pace and their own methods. The objective of the lessons is to offer students the opportunity to live an entirely Italian experience through the study and in-depth study of grammar and the practical use of the language with also scheduled outings and outdoor lessons. All courses include teaching material, assistance before and during the stay, certificate of attendance and a tour of the city of Cagliari held every Monday with new arrivals.
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“I liked the teachers Fede and Giulia, the excursions were very helpful and practical. Fede is a very encouraging, conscientious, positive, growth-oriented, patience-devoted teacher. Giulia possesses similar qualities as Fede and her activities helped me with very practical, useful, basic language asking of questions while we actually performed the activity. The Directrice, Maura is very flexible and humanistic.”
“Nothing major really.
I think if I have one suggestion, for true beginners, I would put together a very basic, organized, weekly language, written goals handout to use as a basis of measurement learning accomplishment. ”
