Student comments about "Standard Course A" at Istituto Dante Alighieri
Diana
"Pace could have been higher"
Celine
"Great school, lovely teachers and pedagogues, an available and efficient administrative team, I really recommend this school"
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Questions and answers about Istituto Dante Alighieri
- I am from Spain but I have never studied Italian before, can I start on a date that is not for absolute beginners?“A Spaniard who has never studied Italian before is never considered an "absolute beginner" because Spanish and Italian are very similar languages, sharing the same Latin origin and the same grammatical structure. Moreover, they have many similar words and a high degree of lexical similarity. Therefore, a native speaker of Spanish can understand and learn Italian more easily than other more distant languages, such as English or German.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 06, 2024
