This course includes 20 hours of Italian language and conversation lessons per week and a 2 hour guided excursion.
The courses take place at different levels, each student can develop their language and grammar skills: the goal is to give students receptive skills such as comprehension, listening and reading, and productive skills, such as writing, speaking and interacting in Italian. The group courses take place in the morning.
The INTENSIVE ITALIAN course is the course suitable for submitting the application for a STUDY VISA and Idea Verona helps students fill in the paperwork required to obtain a residence permit for study purposes.
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.
