Location: Studioitalia, Rome makes learning Italian in Italy an immersive experience thanks to its premier location in the culturally rich city of Rome. Students will never be too far away from a Neapolitan Pizzeria. Revel in the historic and ancient architecture styles like the Quartiere Prati or the Quartiere Coppedè. Students will find them surrounded by a vibrant bustling culture waiting to be experienced through its food, museums and many monuments. Students can even look forward to taking one-day trips to gorgeous places like Florence and Naples and truly upgrading their Italian living experience. Located only 10 minutes away from the station, the school is strategically located for such travels.
Course structure: The school offers a range of great courses focused on different areas of learning and excelling in Italian language communication. From super-intensive courses to one on one sessions, students can choose their course based on ease, complexity, schedule and flexibility. The school offers evening courses which are perfect for busy professionals looking to improve their fluency. For more personalized attention, the mini-group lessons charged on an hourly basis are designed to help students learn quicker and retain what they learn longer.
Additional information: All aspirants are required to take an entry test to determine their level of comprehension and the school also helps students with their visa process.

Student comments about "Intensive Course" at Studioitalia
Isabell
"Varied and intensive"
Elżbieta
"I recommend."
Rosalind
"Excellent. A mixture of conversation, grammar and reading."
Florian
"very good"
Pia
"My course was entertaining, effective and interesting. I had the afternoons at my disposal. That was nice because I wanted to see and experience Rome. But it was also a pity because I would have liked to learn Italian for one more lesson. I would have liked to stay two weeks longer."
Violaine
"It was a beginner's course. I found the progression well suited."
Waltraud
"A detailed placement test, also oral, on site would be extremely helpful."
Linda Elise
"The school is in a good location, close to city center. There is a lovely atmosphere, there are many students, and the teachers are really good at including the students in the classes. Highly recommend this school, I have had a good time there and will be back. "
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.

Student comments about "Intensive PLUS Course" at Studioitalia
Robert
"Great teachers and good progress in my Italian"
Margarita
"I spent 2 weeks at StudioItalia and I really recommend this language school. The lessons help you a lot specially on the conversation as many of the lessons are based on discussions, debates and natural conversations. The teachers are always willing to help you and teach you anything related or not with the topic covered.
The school also organised after class workshops which are fun and give you a chance to socialise. If you are planning to take a short or long course, I really recommend this school!

“There are a maximum of 7 students per class; it allows you to speak and ask questions easily and therefore to progress faster; and then it's more user-friendly, we all get to know each other very quickly!
The students came from all over the world: Bangladesh, Philippines, Afghanistan, Brazil, Russia, United States, Belgium, it is very enriching. I was by far the oldest but didn't feel a barrier about it.
We had 2 teachers every morning; it avoids monotony and in addition they complemented each other very well.
It's a small school, there are 3 classes; it gives an atmosphere that I really liked.”
“It was very good!”

Quality of teaching / language progress: It was a beginner's course. I found the progression well suited.

“Awesome school, I really liked the fact that the teachers were replaced at times, it made the training even more lively. Very friendly school staff, they know all the students by name, even the administrative staff, people who have never conducted classes, for example, in my group, knew everyone. In general, besides the quality of teaching, I would like to mention a wonderful atmosphere. This is not my first language course, but the feeling this time is even more joyful than usual. Many thanks to the school!”

“StudioItalia not only teaches language skills very well in class, but also cultural knowledge at the same time. The teachers encourage the participants to learn and always seem very positive and organised. The emphasis is on active use of the language. The course participants were also always very nice and supported each other in learning and understanding.”
“Unfortunately, afternoon activities were only planned and offered towards the end of my stay. However, the one event I was able to participate in was very nice.”

“I really liked the learning atmosphere and the committed teachers. The learning group was small, the people very motivated and interesting. It was easy to make great progress in the foreign language in a short time.”
“It was necessary to wear the mask for the entire lesson. And in the breaks, because of the corona regulations, you couldn't stand together at the coffee machine. That was important, but also stressful and a pity.”
Insider tip: “The teachers had good recommendations on where to get a good breakfast or lunch - and some other insider tips. Just ask, depending on what you are interested in, and then go there :) This way you get to see things in Rome that regular tourists don't necessarily discover.”

Other comments: Tiny space. No hang out space for students.
The woman instructor was kind but spoke way too loud, especially in 1-on-1 classes.
The bad weather killed it for me. Icy rainy weather; easy to stay home and study in bed, especially since I was caught in between levels.
More basic grammar work would have been nice. Too much drama.

Details of the review
Other comments: The Monday placement test registered on the site does not exist. I personally did not pass an evaluation test I found myself (depending on the place I think) well above my level. As a consequence, I did not learn anything in oral and stay my stay was ruined because I could have made friends at my level. (Because in my class no one knew how to speak Italian). With only a week left too short to change. I would like to add that I was counting on the activities as indicated on the website but they are not available all the time(lack of students / participants which can be understood)

For the StudioItalia school, can you please give me information about the accommodation? I need information on a single room in the shared apartments with other students. I’d appreciate more info on location, type of apartment...
“The school can offer shared apartments in residential areas that are within 30 minutes from the school by public transport. The exact accommodation is assigned to students 1-2 weeks before arrival. The apartments are shared with other students from the school or from other universities. The owner of the apartment might live there as well.

Do I need a visa for the evening Italian Course for 12 weeks? I am 76 years old. Do you have more information?
“The evening course at Studioitalia in Rome includes 3 lessons per week. This course is not suitable for student visa application. If students wish to apply for a student visa for more than 90 days they need to book a full time course with at least 20 hours a week. Visa regulations are rather delicate and they can change very quickly, so I recommend students always contact the embassy or consulate directly in their home country.”
Angela Ligartova, LanguageCourse.net - Mar 04, 2022

By taking the Intensive course with StudioItalia, you will receive 20 structured and carefully planned lessons per week, which will put you on track to developing a good connection with your teachers and your colleagues. Whether in the free time this course affords you, or through the extracurricular activities organised by the school, you’ll be able to spend plenty of time using your rapidly improving Italian language skills out and about in Rome.
Students are expected to do most of the talking in class, rather than the traditional method of constant teacher instruction. Instead, the teacher is there to guide the class through interactive and engaging activities. One of the most important skills in learning a second language is not being embarrassed to make mistakes, and with students leading the way in these courses, you’ll be able to build that confidence.
Even so, students can still expect to cover a reasonable amount of content concerning grammar and vocabulary.
