Location: For those wanting a real taste of a traditional Italian city with quieter streets in the summer months and more interaction with locals then Bologna is the perfect place for you! Academya Lingue is in the inner rim of the city, near the Piazza Santo Stefano, with plenty of restaurants and bars scattered throughout the neighborhood.
Getting around: Bologna is very accessible by foot and the central Piazza Maggiore is only 5 minutes from the school and the spectacular Basilica di San Petronio is found here. There are plenty of bus stops here for those wanting to explore the city using this method to see attractions further outside the centre such as the MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, which has a display of art from 1945 to present day or the Two Towers. The colours throughout Bologna interest a lot of visitors with the terracotta coloured roofs and walls painted in an array of different palettes gives the city an appeal, making for an excellent photo opportunity for strolls after class. Students wanting to explore other Italian cities such as Florence or Rome during their stay can take a train, which is arguably the best way to experience Italy, from the Bologna Central Train Station, 20 minutes from Academya Lingue.
Teaching style: The school follows a humanistic-affective method within the classroom by adopting small class sizes, no more than 8 students, to ensure specific interaction with the teacher and dedication to each student’s needs and desires when learning the Italian language.
Course structure: The course content is designed around the cognitive-communicative method which intertwines the basics of the language with the culture of the area and through this interaction embeds the Italian language within the student’s mind to use for the foreseeable future. Academya Lingue offers group classes as a standard course or a combination course and there is a senior course which takes into consideration the different teaching styles that may be needed for these students and reduces the class size to a maximum of 6 students to provide a safe learning environment. The school offers individual package programmes as well as specific private classes in a CILS Exam Preparation Course and a Business Course.
Social programme: Available for students to attend are after school activities to sample local life and culture as well as being a great tool to interact with fellow students and practise your Italian in Bolgna.
School facilities: The school has excellent facilities for students including a cafeteria, a library, free after class access to language learning software and wifi.
- The language school Academya Lingue was founded in Bologna, Italy in 2014.

One of the most appealing features of the Standard course option is that the total number of students per class is a maximum of 8, and in many cases there are less students than the maximum permitted. This allows every learner to participate easily in their lessons, without feeling overwhelmed, and also allows the teaching staff at Academya Lingue to get to know every student and their needs.
There are two parts to every class, with the first part being concerned with the more formal aspects of learning a language, such as grammar and vocabulary. The other part is more oriented towards Italian culture, current events, and related topics. During the break time for the lessons, the teacher and students go to a local cafe together, which is a fun opportunity to speak in Italian with the other customers taking their morning coffee.
The classes are few in number and the average number of students for each class is around 4-8. The small class size guarantees special attention for each student’s individual needs, and enables teachers to get to know their students as individuals and facilitates friendly relationships.
The daily Italian lessons consists of two parts: the first part of the lesson is mainly focused on grammatical structure and vocabulary, whereas the second part is dedicated to the use of the Italian language (speaking, reading, listening and writing), focusing on expression and communication (current events, Italian culture, lifestyle, and other topics of interest will be discussed during this part of the lesson).
The course has a mid-morning break when students and teachers go to a coffee-bar together: a wonderful chance to practice Italian with the locals, have a chat and get to know each other better.

For these reasons, this tailored group course is designed to be flexible and the teaching methodology has been adapted to follow the pace and respond to the specific needs of these students.
The classes are few in number and the average number of students for each class is around 3-6. The small class size guarantees special attention for each student’s individual needs, and enables teachers to get to know their students as individuals and facilitates friendly relationships.

Student opinions about Academya Lingue, Bologna
Questions and answers about Academya Lingue
- I am a dancer and will be returning late to accommodation. Is accommodation with a family a good option for me?
“This is certainly a great option for those who want to learn more about Italian culture and daily life, and have more opportunities for conversation after class. With host families, there are no specific times when students must return home.”Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 24, 2022 - Is there any teaching in Chinese? Can I reach level B2 as a beginner in 6-7 months ?“All courses are taught in Italian, and in rare cases, teachers may explain in other languages for beginners.
If you take 20 lessons a week, it is possible to reach B2 level in 7-8 months as a beginner, but this depends on the effort the students put in and the school cannot guarantee this.”Susan Wang, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 05, 2022 - When and how will my Italian level be tested? I am a beginner with little prior knowledge.“You will receive a link with the booking confirmation, which you can use to fill out your level test. On the first day of school there will be a brief verbal classification and then you will be assigned to a suitable class. The Academya Lingue also starts every Monday with complete beginner courses if your level is not that good. So you are completely flexible and you could even start from scratch if you prefer.”Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 22, 2022
- I would like to do a course at Academia Lingue for 6 weeks, but with a week's break because I will have visitors. Is that possible?“Yes, that's no problem!
