The intensive Italian language course is our standard course, and consists of 4 Italian lessons a day, totalling 20 lessons a week.
The lessons are held from Monday to Friday in groups of 12 students, led by qualified teachers, who are passionate about their work.
The lessons begin every Monday for students that already have some knowledge of the Italian language, and every two weeks for absolute beginners.
The lessons are principally based on spoken communication, but also deal with the more formal aspects of the language (lexis/vocabulary and grammar). Lots of time is dedicated to activities that encourage dialogue and discussion about various topics, from art and literature, to modern city culture.
The teachers use not only text books, but also other support materials (newspaper articles, songs, films and other authentic material from everyday life) to give students the opportunity to engage with different forms of contemporary communication and to improve their communication abilities.
Our golden rule is: the teacher is the director, but the group of students are the real protagonists of the lessons.

Italy Today' course: Italian language and culture
Recommended for:
Students that already have basic Italian linguistic skills and in addition to improving their language, want to know more about the Italian culture, history and to understand its economic, social and political situation.
'Italy Today' is a programme that combines the Intensive Italian language course (4 Italian lessons a day, a total of 20 lessons a week) with a collection of lessons about Italian culture, history, economics and society.
The course is available for 2 or 4 weeks.
A deep understanding of another culture is achieved by aquiring linguistic abilities, but also through studying and examining the history and society: in the programme of this course, these two aspects are perfectly combined.
2 or 4 weeks for total immersion in the Italian culture, spirit and outlook.

Modern families consider a new language acquisition as an important value in the education of their children.
Some parents decide to enrol their children in a study holiday abroad; others would like to share this moment, especially if the choice is due to a transfer of the whole family abroad for business reasons.
