Florence is one of Italy’s most iconic cities, and certainly a favourite destination for visitors from all over the world. It’s in this beautiful city that you will study Italian for 20 hours per week, all while living in your teacher’s home and benefitting from a full board meal plan and access to conversation in Italian practically whenever you want it.

This is a city where most attractions and places of interest are within walking distance of each other, so you will find it easy to move independently once you start exploring Florence for yourself outside of class hours. Your host family will give you the best advice on how to move around while not getting too caught up in the tourist areas - one of the many ways that you will benefit from their local expertise.

All teachers working with the home tuition programme are fully qualified, so you can expect carefully designed and delivered lessons on your course. To communicate any issues, Study & Live in your Teacher's Home asks guests to get in touch with their Local Organisers working in Florence.

This course includes 4 Italian language lessons, from Monday to Friday. One lesson is 45 minutes. Minimum 3 students.

This is the school’s most popular and in-demand course, with 20 hours of classes per week in which the student is placed in a group that corresponds to their current level of knowledge. The course gives equal weight to traditional forms of learning as to more informal means of learning, with 2 hours for both grammar learning and for conversation.

Part of the reason for the popularity of the Standard course is that students can work hard during the early hours of the day, and then have their evenings free to explore Florence and take care of any personal errands.

The Intensive Italian course from Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is the main offering among their programme options and involves taking 4 classes every day (20 per week). Most of the lessons’ focus is directed towards verbal communication, meaning you will spend a significant amount of time speaking in class and resolving any issues you have with pronunciation or listening skills. Even so, the elements of Italian language study that are related to vocabulary and grammar are still given their due importance.

This academy believes that play is just as important as work, and for that reason, they organise extracurricular activities for students to enjoy in the afternoons and evenings. These might involve taking day trips to museums, wine cellars, cultural discussion groups, and more. Through these activities, the school wants to show you that learning a language is much more than just learning in the classroom, and instead is all about having fun using your new or expanding knowledge of the language.

The Intensive course offered by InTuition Languages is the most popular option among their language students, and at their Florence location, this is no different. Students take this programme due to its weekly schedule of 20 hours, which encourages significant improvements in a reasonably short period of time, without saturating learners excessively. Lessons will cover all major language skills related to Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.

One of this programme’s most attractive features is that your accommodation will be with an Italian-speaking homestay family, which means that you can effectively move to Florence without the stress that would accompany looking for somewhere to live in normal circumstances. You’ll find an especially good opportunity for conversation in Italian during your three daily meals, which your hosts will provide for you as part of the experience.
