Price comparison: 1 week Italian & Culture Italian course
Standard
The Standard course has something to offer students of the Italian language no matter what their level might be since groups are divided from Beginner (A1), all the way up to Expert (C2). As the approach taken on this course is general in nature, you will cover all the skills related to reading, listening, speaking, grammar, and so on.
Lessons run from Monday to Friday, with 20 taking place per week - 50 minutes each. If you have some level of Italian already, then it’s possible to start this course on almost any Monday of the year. Those who would describe themselves as absolute beginners can start the course once per month.
You will be asked to take a placement test after signing up, in order to assign you to your initial group level.
Groups are heterogeneous, multilingual, and small: this helps ensure the students are given personal attention and the opportunity for self-expression.
The communicative method allows students to express themselves in Italian from the very first moment: the use of techniques like role-playing and real-life situations simulated in class enables our students to work in an entertaining and always relaxing atmosphere, an essential requirement to express themselves in a spontaneous way.
For those who need to go through a level and face the following one, we suggest an avarage period of 4/6 weeks of study, though we do not ask for any minimal specific lenght.
The school provides students with
- all books and teaching materials
- a free conversation class in the afternoon
- teacher/tutor to understand and solve any issue you may have during the course
- final certificate of attendance

Quality of the teachers
I sometimes found the classrooms noisy due to the close proximity of a main road and due to the acoustics of the classrooms as well. It was especially disturbing during the 1-on-1 conversations or listening exercises. Floor covering, as a simple carpet, could be a solution for this.

Enthusiastic teachers and a great atmosphere
I had a great time at The Door to Italy language school. The tutors were all very nice and helpful and used a wide variety of teaching methods. I felt that I made great progress in the 4 weeks of lessons and would not hesitate to go back.

GulnaraA Door to Italy
I was about to lose confidence, because I couldn't understand the Italian. However, my pretty female teacher spoke to me slowly with seeing my eyes to eager to make me understood. It was great.
My friend who had a course before said that many school activities were organized. However, there weren't any activities in winter.

RiekoA Door to Italy
Nice staff. They know you by name quickly. There is a good atmosphere.
The staff is very nice. They always had time to talk. However, I chose not to finish the course because the classes were very fast for me and I had difficulty following them. It's all about grammar and that didn't suit me, specially as the book and explanations in class were all in Italian so I felt I couldn't keep up and kept getting it wrong. The school kindly offered me different solutions, such as starting again in a new group, change teachers or get some private lessons. I rejected this as I had already made up my mind but it was very nice of them to offer. Even one of the staff members offered to help me after class. I want to emphasize that it is a great school but if you are a complete beginner it is very hard and it will be better if some of the assignments/instructions were in English. I hope they take this feedback into account. I lost my patience a few times and I am sorry for the teachers.

That my teacher paid attention to the individuals... and that he didn`t discuss certain material stubbornly
Our apartment was unfortunately very dirty, I was happy that I brought my own sheets for my bed. The mattresses in the rooms were also very poor

JohnA Door to Italy
Federica, the secretary, is very amiable
There were only 4 groups. Teachers' professional levels are very different. Working in advanced group is boring,too much time is used for listenning without lexical and grammar exercices. There is no strict program for studying, many subjects are initiated and then abandoned. Don't expect a serious studying, it's just a supplement for your staying in Italy
